Special_talent123 Report post Posted November 10, 2012 I got woken up at 10:30am, my sister rang me on my mums phone and told me news I was like oh right, mmm a silent call when my sister said I am going to be an aunty... could not express my emotions on the phone. My sister is having a baby, but bad news with the neighbour next door to mum who me and mum do not like - he is also twice the age of my sister and my sister had lots of relationship problems with him Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
david3 Report post Posted December 25, 2012 Oh dear. Problems. I am afraid for your sister. Sometimes news takes time to 'sink in' and then you get emotion. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mike_GX101 Report post Posted December 30, 2012 I truly recommend you read "The Language of Emotions" by Karla McLaren (ISBN: 978-1-59179-769-2) - it's a thoroughly informative encyclopaedia of all the different emotions and how they work against you if not read correctly and of course apathy is in there too! It's a big book with just over 400 pages but then that's indicative of how much there is to human emotions. It's a thoroughly good read and of course when you've finished it you'll be a master of your emotions and you'll know what to do about them if they get stuck! I got this 2010 edition from the library but it's so good I think I'll be buying it myself! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I am searching in the book to see how hard the book is to read otherwise if its too complex i wont buy it Edited December 30, 2012 by Special_talent123 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mike_GX101 Report post Posted December 30, 2012 (edited) Don't let your fear get in the way of you finding your way ST123! Of course you don't have to read the whole book (there's even a CD version by the way!!). There are some introductory chapters which will help you charter and process your emotions and then you can pick and choose which emotions you want to read about, etc. In my case I did go to the chapters I was most interested in at first. Then I was pulled into reading about other emotions because apparently all the emotions intermingle together and create like a web of emotional chatter.

Mike_GX101 Report post Posted December 30, 2012 Obviously you don't have to educate yourself on your emotions; you don't have to help yourself at all! But I've always taken the other approach - yes I might be on the spectrum but I'd rather help myself and live as independently as possible. And I see this as being quite a positive mindframe to be in because otherwise you end up stagnating and ending up ill-equipped to dealing with whatever life throws at you and always needing rescuing even at times when it isn't possible to be rescued by others.
