Feelings can be like breathing............sometimes we hold our breath in difficult situations, and sometimes we hold back our feelings to keep them on a superficial level. That is a learned behavior I think. Little children are so pure and innocent that they hold nothing back unless they learn to hold back. They learn to hold back if they are taught to do so. They also learn to hold back if they are hurt enough times by the people who are supposed to love and care for them. Many children in the foster care system learn to hold back their feelings to save themselves pain.
Of course, there are those of us who wear our feelings on our sleeves. We never learned to hold back and so we do not. This makes us vulnerable, but it also gives us the immeasurable joy of loving people and life. What goes around comes around so if we feel deeper we will feel more, receive more, enjoy more, and have happier lives. I speak from experience so let yourself open up and
