Discussion on Processing Emotions
I really think this YouTube Video by Dr. K is interesting. Especially something that relates to blogging, which is: (these aren't the exact words)
Because we don't have time to process our emotions, when they overflow, we vent them on the internet, somewhere in the corner (that can/can't be seen). But that only vent the shallow emotions, and after that, we get back to distractions, and we allow it to fill up, then we vent again.
Just to catch up with the video, we're discussing about emotional processing; and Dr. K discussed that we requires time and space to process our emotions, especially deeper emotions. And whatever anger, etc we wrote on the internet have to do with shallower emotions.
It's interesting though, cause he mentioned that journaling could make up the time and space to process the emotions, and if you consider blogging as journaling, it probably does make up some time for processing emotions. Though, I'd say the time and space isn't sufficient for the brain to process everything, if you don't give it enough time. And of course, going back to distractions immediately after "venting" (or blogging) is a bad act; and allowing your brain to stay instead by doing nothing or going for a walk or play with your dog or etc would be a better choice, away from technology of course.
And miraculously, one also did it before. If you heard one's past article, some described the stress that had one experienced; while even before one came into read.cash, one used to vent on personal websites that are only shared with the some friends (though they don't read, cause they don't care, they have too much business in their own life to care about lol). Even nowadays, one take blogging for granted, as a platform not only to share one learn, but to share what one feels, albeit censoring some deeper emotions that one won't want to share publicly.
Another interesting idea discuss is "relying on dopaminergic effect to numb the problem" and "the problem stack upon each other until they explode". One think it's interesting to mention "dopaminergic effect", so that means activities that release dopamine, meaning any activity that generates pleasure, whether be it addictive substances, addictive contents, or mindless scrolling, if you can understand what one means implicitly, the categories (and list of activities) that each describes. And using dopamine to numb our feelings? It's clearly what we're doing. And as our dopamine receptors decreases so we don't feel as much as we used to, we need more of the contents to "get high" (that's why some drug addicts take more and more drugs), it'll end up to a place where the numbness can't numb anymore, and everything just explode.
Up till now, you might be confused; "I didn't get the point, what are you trying to convey in this article?" Nothing, actually. One suggests you watch the video instead, it'll be more interesting that way. And one really just describes some interesting points one heard from the video. Also, watching the video probably won't get you as clueless as reading this article, lol...
