idk, i feel like my emotions are fake

[magicly_rose]

Why do i feel like all of my emotions are just fake? Idk. i just feel like i’m making them out to be worst than they are, but i’m really suffering. But my head just asks me, “are you *really* suffering, though? you’re probably not really. You’re just phrasing it in a way that makes it sound worse, stop being so dramatic.” haha idk what to do

If your emotions feel dramatic it's because they are. It's so easy to dimiss our own feelings because confronting them and what they might be trying to tell us is, abjectly terrifying. I think when I feel like you do it's because I'm trying to avoid looking at my feelings, I will add the caveat that I'm also a dude and we are more or less trained from day one to militantly ignore any feeling that isnt anger, so it might be different sense of being detatched from your emotions than the one you experience. Regardless of what anyone tells you or that you tell yourself, your feelings are real, they are yours, and they matter more than anything else in the world.
