The Dangers of Suppressed Emotions

When people understand that their thoughts create their outer reality, they become very careful about what they think and what thoughts they charge emotionally. They only try to think positively and do not allow any negativity to be expressed, in case it would manifest as something bad. So they suppress any negativity inside themselves or stop negative feelings from developing in their minds.

The more positive you are, the better your life will be. By positive I mean genuinely positive, which means that you are naturally in a good mood and you are not hiding from your own feelings. If you feel negative but try to pretend that you are positive, you harm yourself because you don’t allow the negative feeling its full expression. You might think that not allowing negativity to be expressed will insure you against negative manifestations, but actually it can manifest as something even worse than if you would freely express this negativity.

Discover the source of your negative feelings

All negative feelings point to your limiting beliefs. Period. So negative feelings actually can open your eyes to the beliefs that cause those negative feelings to arise in you. To find such limiting beliefs you should let the negative emotion to be expressed fully. You should follow this emotion and it will lead you to the belief which will come as a thought or an image. Every limiting belief has certain image(s) and thought(s) that represent the belief. So once you find these, you will know what beliefs you hold and therefore you will be able to eliminate them.

Some people are scared where their feelings will lead them and that’s why they don’t allow their full expression. But you should never be afraid of that because you will never get lost in your own feelings. If you allow them to be expressed fully, they will be released and you will feel refreshed after such discharge.

However if you cut the feeling off, it will be stored inside of you and sooner or later you will snap or it will manifest as some kind of disease or you might start hating someone without knowing the reason why. In all cases, it will make you even more miserable than before.

Why some employees suddenly lose their cool and cause massive harm

Although I don’t watch news, it’s probably impossible not to become aware of the incidents involving a large number of employees being killed or harmed by one employee. Unfortunately, most psychologists interpret such events in a completely wrong way. They think that those employees cannot hide their feelings so they express them. They say that normal people want to hit their bosses sometimes, but they restrain from doing that, but some employees actually express their emotions when they feel like it. This is a gross misinterpretation of their behaviour which causes people to be unable to deal with situations as such.

Those employees who snap do not express their anger at the first available opportunity, as psychologists believe. They keep restraining themselves from expressing anger and frustration because they were taught when they were children that they should be nice to others and to never show their disapproval because that constitutes bad manners. They follow this extremely bad advice from their parents and they try to tolerate the displeasing and sometimes humiliating behaviour of other employees until those emotions suddenly explode in them and therefore they must release them. And they usually do that in a way that is extremely harmful.

Sometimes there are more factors involved that cause such cruel behaviour. It could be that such people were mistreated in their childhood and had been hiding their emotions of pain and anger for a very long time. It could also be that once they got deeply hurt at work and they kept dwelling on the unfairness of that event without expressing the anger that would arise as a result of thinking about this incident. But in general employees snap and cause trouble because they constantly fail to express their emotional reactions to other employees.

This all could be avoided if they would tell exactly what they think about other people and express their disapprovals or disappointments in others. Even if they would only talk about their frustrations to their friends, the tension would be to some degree released. That’s why it’s so important to express your frustrations and other negativity in some way before it’s too late. The best thing to do of course is to respond to people exactly how you feel about them at the time you feel the urge to do so.

If you now see that you’ve been holding some emotions inside you, release them at once. If there’s no one to talk to about your frustrations, release this tension by exercising, writing, punching pillows or doing anything else that would discharge those negative feelings.

People have the right to know how you feel about them

It’s not right to hide from people how you feel about their actions or behaviour. Your honest feelings serve as a feedback to them. Once they get the feedback, be it positive or negative, they can decide how to act accordingly. It doesn’t mean that they will always act in a way that pleases you, but at least they will know what you honestly think about them.

I’m always wary of people who never seem to be down and no matter what you do, they are okay with it. Nobody can be okay with everything so when I see such behaviour, I know it’s not genuine. It doesn’t provide you with any feedback, there’s no real interaction taking place.

You simply cannot trust people who don’t show their true colors. Behind their masks of calmness and understanding there could be faces of anger, disapproval or pure hatred. No one wants to have such friends or be with such people.

It’s easy to tell when the person is genuinely happy because you can feel a pleasant field of energy around them and they look great. However when the person puts on a happy face to cover negative emotions, you get a very unpleasant feeling about that person and you don’t want to be around him/her.

Some people hide their emotions from others because they don’t want to be disapproved of. The truth is, you will gain much more respect and love if you are genuine and are not afraid to say how you feel and what you think. If you allow everyone to mistreat you without doing anything about it, you are likely to be disliked by most.

Conclusion

It doesn’t matter what negativity you feel, you need to express it to find the cause of it. If you are depressed, be with the feeling – see where it will lead you. Once you get thoughts or images about your state, you will know that these are the limiting beliefs that keep you depressed.

Even if you are a very positive person you will sometimes feel angry or frustrated. If you fully express these emotions, they will de-stress you and leave you refreshed. That’s why sometimes when you start crying uncontrollably or get very angry and express this anger fully you feel like you were reborn.

Express your negativity when you feel it and you will never experience emotional breakdown or unpredicted behaviour. If you follow your emotions, they will lead you to their causes and therefore you will have an opportunity to eliminate the roots of your negativity.

When the roots of negativity are gone, you will be a genuinely positive person. That will become your new point of attraction causing your reality to significantly improve.
