I hope you can keep up with your emotions.
Thank you Pegazus, I really appreciate that, my friend. I wish you all the best in dealing with your emotions in whatever way works well for you, and in your unscrambling/emotional unsuppression/healing process.

I feel joy, excitement, confidence and love coming through your post and that these are much-much stronger than every other emotion in you while writing it.
But astrochimp's answer to Pegazus' (in my eyes positive post) has given a totally different direction. The kind of emotions he is talking is not the kind of emotions you have by reading the first post of this thread and in fact I would say that astrochimp's answer is kind "off topic" and it belongs rather to this thread
supressed emotions than to this one here. Therefore I decided to move it incl. some answers to it
You're welcome and thank you for your encouragement. Yes, on reflection there is joy, excitement, confidence and love all present! So many things going on in me when I read this post. Shattering of old illusions, excitement and hope, looking forward to the future, thinking about the large amount and form of traps.. and reflecting on the fact that we are still here, together, through all the very numerous traps. This really says something
I try to only write posts when I am feeling positive (and not sure about my overall success in this
) but I was surprised at how much emotional discussion sparked from my comment. Yes, I felt that astrochimp's comment covered so many things but in a different topic to Protoi Perceptions and Values, that it deserved a different topic on emotions. And now I see this is already created
It is clear that emotions is a very very wide topic and many people are very interested in discussing this topic
.
When I have had more time to think about the individual points of this topic thread, I may have some specific comments or questions. But before then, I have already learned a lot. A major theme seems to be about comfortable growth, and doing what is comfortable for you, learning or seeing what makes you uncomfortable and staying away from it. This is very beneficial for me as I have experienced tremendous pressures/stress in the past and it never helped me much. Actually, I had to help myself out of it
. It was actually very detrimental which aligns with your/Oni's statement. I have recently experienced the "slow, comfortable pressure" way of growth, which actually works and is much more preferable to me! (the other method doesn't even work
)
