People sometimes act stricly on emotions. I do, and when I was deep in depression, I used to left my emotions guide me entirely. It can be a way to live, but there is something fundamentaly wrong in this...
Emotions are not absolutes. Emotions are not a perfect guide. Emotions are a VERY personnal thing.
People often confuse an emotion, with the object, or the reason, of that emotion. Take fearfor exemple. A spider (or whatever object you fear the most), is not the fear itself. Fear comes from within you. Think about it. Why do you fear? What drive you to have that emotion? The spider is not actually dangerous, so why do you fear it? Of course, in the case of spiders, it's easy to answer... It's a because spiders (or insect in general) might be dangerous... But it might not be the case with everything...
Some emotions might even send you the wrong signal. Being shy, for one, sends a signal... a message.... But the object of the shyness, an attractive person perhaps, is not the emotion itself... That person might be the reason for the emotion, but it is not the source...
Since theses emotions comes from inside, analyzing them can be a big insight on oneself. They are a reflexion of your view on the world... A sort of shadow of the subconcious...
And it's for the same reason that these emotions can be controlled. Fear can be almost eliminated. Anxiety can be reduced. Self-confidence can be grown...
Be these emotions can only be chnaged if you have the will... if you really want to...
What are you waiting? Are you afraid?
