Emotional leash

March 6, 2023

Everyone has the right to experience all kinds of emotions and feelings. It would be more correct to say MUST experience. It is considered that there are no "bad" or "good" feelings and emotions. But there is one hitch: extremes. When one's emotions or feelings are TOO strong. When a person becomes fixated, clings to something or someone, she or he becomes actually enslaved, dependent on these extremes and thus people towards whom she feels that. So a phrase like that takes place, "I can't live without him or her," without a child, parents, or anyone else. Slavery is a loss of self. The stronger our leash, the farther away from us people, loved ones above all. How to do deal with it? Respect our own and someone else's freedom. Respect other people's personal boundaries and don't raise your own expectations.
