Salam.
At one point, I have made myself numb on feeling. When I heard someone was sad over something I don’t quite understand, I judged and labelled and I want that person to skip the sad part and laugh, there and then. If I were sad and frustrated over something, I would keep quiet and grieve all by myself. I would label me weak if I was not as happy. I would disregard my feeling and others’ feelings and pretend everything was okay, even when it wasn’t, for the glorious and victorious potrayal of glee me, 24/7.
By then, I was really annoyed with Sadness and totally understood Joy in the Inside Out movie. In the past, I was not happy all the times but I (indirectly, silently) ridiculed people that was forlorn, and that insensitivity put me to shame now.
Fast forward a few years later, I finally understand that frustration, sadness, unhappiness are what made a human, human. We are not robot to defy feelings, we are human to feel (I am sorry if you are an alien, you kept it hidden well) and smart one to control it. I finally understand the message of Inside Out movie now.
