Is it wrong not to have emotions at all?

I believe it would be unhealthy to block out emotions like that; it would interfere with brain chemistry.  I beleive what you are reffering to is an acceptance of emotions and, without acting on them, letting them go.  It is quite difficult to understand that concept and even more difficult to act on it, however.

there are a lot of reasons why its hard to be happy...for some people (like myself) being happy isnt easy and it doesnt come naturally...i believe the key to begin with is not to be happy...its to not but unhappy...whether that be mad, sad or ect...after you can get passed the point of "down" the middle ground is a lot better...and at that point you can have a better idea of how you could be happy...it may sound childish but sometimes the pro con list can help...write everything in your life in either the pro or con section...you may even have a indifferent part...i dont know if that will help you in anyway...basically all i can tell you is that i tried the whole depression medacine and it was okay but what helped me the most was some good self examining and reflecting...i hope things get better for you and if you need someone to bug sometime my email address is always open...i, in a weird way, like to listen...

When someone says something to you that make you angry or sad take a deep breath through your nose, hold for 3 seconds and let it out. I went through the same thing and this helped me a lot but if you are unable to control your facial expressions, there is nothing wrong with it. It's actually a blessing because without you saying a word, people know that they either offended you or something is wrong. Be happy when they ask what's wrong because it will be your chance to tell them what is wrong right on the spot and you don't have to keep your feelings bottled up inside. Your feelings are written all over your face because you have some deep hurts and you can't keep them contained. Try talking to someone you trust about the others things that are bothering you deep down inside.

No, it's not wrong.  You have to do what makes you feel good.

If I take this to mean how do I prevent being overwhelmed by my emotions, then I would say, I do not.\n\nIf I take this to mean how do I keep centered and not provoked into unwanted action, then that is a different matter.  I express my emotions.\n\nExpressing positive emotions can be done without thought or reflexion.  This helps communicate my internal condition other humans and allows them to share my emotional state.\n\nExpressing negative emotions usually requires some thought.  This "extra step" allows for the determination of the appropriateness of the expression.  Discipline of the mind allows control of the thoughts.  It also prevents "knee jerk" reactions, especially when the feeling is provoked by a emotional trigger.

Yes, and for anyone to say that you can't they are crazy... Upset is an emotion and it does take time to get over. I would suggest before you try it again tell the other half why you are upset. If you work it out the emotion will return.

In my opinion it is a response to a stimuli because it's (for the most part) uncontrollable.  If it was an emotion you would just be scared of nothing for no reason, right?

It's perfectly OKAY to feel like that. Do not become dependent on what others tell you is right and wrong but follow your inner instinct. It's your best guide and you'll always be content with a decision you make. It's you, not the people, that ultimately determine the level of happiness you can reach. Before letting anyone tell you your feelings are wrong, ask yourself if/how that matters to you and whether you need to change your process of sorting out what you think/feel because of that....again, its really you that should drive this process, not the others.

No, its not wrong. You cannot control who you have feelings for. You have to let that person know how you feel, and see if possibly they are wrestling with the same problem.

Yes, it is normal.  What you choose to do with those feelings is the real question!!

I think it is normal to feel this way from time to time. My best advice is to monitor your feelings. If you continue to feel sad and lonely for a long period of time, it probably is best to talk to someone then. Sometimes certain influences in life can cause you to feel like this even if at the time you don't think it isn't a problem ie. a crappy job or relationship woes. It is best to always be honest yourself and never to ignore negative emotions/feelings if they go on too long. Best wishes

May sound a bit fem to do, but I am sure it will help you mentally if you write your emotions down on paper. Spill your heart and soul out, then put that paper(s) away for a while. Come back to that paper in a few days and read it, analyze it, and reassess your emotions at that point. If you keep doing that, you will start to see that those emotions will start to change and you will eventually start the healing process. :o) Chin up! :o)

honey, it's okay to cry. it's healthy to show your feelings and emotions. believe or not you are communicating. life throws challenges and it's up to us to decide how we handle it. for me, my best advice is fight back, u can control this. if someone calls u a crybaby, that's selfish on their part. u are telling him how u feel and that counts. if they tell u, u shouldn't be feeling the way you're feeling that selfish for their part. I say show your true feeling, take control of the situation, and be assertive. once you have the "assertion" then u can handle life a lot better.

To answer the first of your questions. Absolutly not. It is not wrong to cut someone out of your life if they are not good for you, whether that means they are abusive (mentally or physically), or that they are a bad influence, they have a shitty attitude, etc. \nIt's normal to feel bad when you come to the conclusion that a person needs to be cut out of your life. If a relationship ends (even if it is a bad one) it is still a loss, and any loss in life will be someone emotinal. If you didn't feel any emotions about it, then that would be unnatural. We, as humans, feel emotions about everything. \nI imagine that you are either feeling angry or hurt by your sisters. Maybe even both. It's understandable. I'm not exactly sure about your whole relationship with them, but it sounds rocky for sure. Try creating boundaries with them. Tell them it is not okay to treat you the way they are. Tell them that you will not accept their critisim. If they become angry, that is their issue. You cannot make a person feel angry. An emotion is a reaction to a situation, but you cannot cause it. You can cause a situation, but you cannot actually choose how someone will react. The way the feel is 100% their problem and their responsibility. \nIt sounds like you feel bad for a lot of things that are out of your control. I know it's easier said than done, but don't. \nDo what you need to do, but remember, you are the #1 person in your life. You come first. \n\n-I hope this helps some

It's not wrong. It's all about how you feel for your relationship. If you feel it's not going for you then it aint mistakening you for wanting a better relationship. If you feel something for your relationship but you chat to someone else online, then you're in denyal. Besides, look on the bright side. You know there's a good side. Always remember that each situation has two sides so follow the bright one than the negetive. Look for what makes you happy. G'luck

Emotions are for expressing.  All of the positive emotions should be expressed immediately.  This makes communication with others much easier.\nNegative emotions are usually tainted with thoughts or memories.  It is usually best to understand these connections before expressing them.\n\nI am told that unexpressed emotions can be suppressed into the unconscious.  It that is so, then they will continue to have an effect on ones behavior.  Best to deal with stuff while you know what you are dealing with than to pull a “Scarlet O’Hara” and put it off until another time.
