Feelings: Does the fear of abandonment prevent you from showing your feelings?

When someone experiences something, it’s likely to be what’s going on in their mind and what’s going on in their body. And if you can’t experience both sides, you may find it more difficult to accept what is happening and may make you appear unbalanced.

If you were out of touch with your feelings, for example, it might make it easier for them to deal with what’s going on. However, there is also the possibility that they may find it more difficult to enjoy what is happening.

You can enjoy the experience more if you lose the ability to think and get caught up in your emotions. However, there is also the possibility that this will prevent them from acting in the right way.

The experience

What everything can depend on is the type of experience one is having; as if it might be something they can enjoy, it might not be. But just because it can be an experience you can enjoy or not, doesn’t mean you have to ignore a part of yourself.

Ideally, you’ll be in touch with what’s going on in your head and what’s going on in your body. This will mean that one can still experience their emotions and can still think if necessary.

three options

There will be some people who are in contact with both sides and then there will be other people who are only in contact with one side. The first person is in balance and the other two are out of balance.

So one can seem like they are in touch with their emotions, or they can seem like they are not in touch with their emotions. The first person will then appear to be identified with their emotional body and the second person will appear to be identified with their mind.

Appearances

However, while there will be some people who are only in contact with one side; there will be others that will only appear in this way. The impression that other people have of them is therefore inaccurate and does not match their true nature.

Although one may appear to not think, this could be something that only happens when you are around others. And when one appears as if they don’t feel, it could also be something that only happens when they are around others.

survival

If they change when they are alone or when they are around certain people, it shows that it all depends on whether they feel safe or not. In order for one to embrace both sides, one will need to feel that it is safe to do so.

During times when you don’t feel safe, you might end up being emotional and acting like you’re out of control, or you might hide how you feel and act like you’re in complete control.

emotionally expressive

When you show how you feel, it will be easier for people to know where you stand and feel connected to them. It will be much more difficult for this to happen when you hide how you feel.

This will also prepare you to bottle up how you feel and for your emotions to build up inside of them. So, because you won’t let other people know how you feel, it will be harder for them to understand you.

Cut

One will not only be detached from how one feels, but one will also feel isolated from others. This is because one’s feelings allow them to feel connected to themselves and allow them to feel connected to others.

However, there is a big difference between being emotionally out of control and being in touch with your own emotions. When you feel out of control, it shows that you can’t contain how you feel.

emotional containment

But when you can embrace how you feel, without having to react or deny how you feel, you show that you can contain your emotions. They have the ability to be with their emotions and this is what they feel is safe for them to do.

When you can’t contain how you feel and end up hiding what’s going on inside of you, it shows that you don’t feel strong or safe enough to accept how you feel. What feels safe is hiding how they feel and this is going to create problems.

The reason

You will have a need to express how you feel, but something stands in the way of that need. This could be because you fear being abandoned if you show other people how you feel.

However, since one is no longer a dependent child, it can be difficult for them to understand why they feel this way. What this will show is that even though they look different, they still feel the same as they did when they were kids.

childhood

During these early years, their needs would have been neglected and this would have meant that they were abandoned. Being abandoned at this age would have made one feel like they were going to die and this is because they did not have the ability to regulate their emotions.

Emotional experiences from the past will have stuck with them and one will end up doing everything possible to prevent these feelings from coming to the surface. It won’t matter if you have friends who won’t let you or if you know someone who is the same, as you will project your past onto them and this will prevent them from living in the moment.

Awareness

In order for you to feel comfortable showing how you feel and no longer experience life like you did as a child, it will be important for you to process your pain. This can occur through grieving unmet needs from your childhood.

The assistance of a therapist, healer and/or a support group may be necessary.
