Unexpressed feelings will never
. Anxious people (and we are all anxious people) try to control other people mainly by editing themselves — hiding the parts they think others won’t like.
Most importantly, they bury their feelings instead of expressing them
That last sentence defines the heart of anxiety.
That’s because feelings are — excuse this analogy — like shit.
Like feces, feelings are supposed to be expelled and expressed, not hidden and buried.
When they’re buried, they don’t go away; they collect.
The person then becomes emotionally constipated, lives in a constant state of internal self-interruption, pressure, and emotional pain.
Anxiety is the name we give to this pain. . .
