I saw an answer on Zhihu, and I quite agree with it.
Be very, very careful when you notice a drop in your ability to express yourself or your level of self-esteem. This is a very dangerous sign. Expression is really important, more important than appearance. Keeping the expressive ability at a relatively high level is actually a way to maintain balance and self-protection. Everyone must leave a place to express, no matter what content is expressed.
Don’t be silent, don’t be afraid of being stupid, get used to expressing. Expression is fitness in another sense.
Expression or output is not only an effective tool to show oneself, but also an effective way to release emotions. All along, I have only focused on the role of expression in the former, focusing on the meaning and role of output. In this case, most of the writing is for the accumulation and precipitation of knowledge, as well as sharing these contents and some of my own thoughts and records with everyone.
At the same time, I actually opened a notebook with a password on OneNote to write some random weekly records. Although it was shelved for various reasons, I wrote it intermittently for several years and hoarded a lot of words. Although the mentality of writing at that time was to record the things and thoughts that happened at that time for the convenience of reviewing later, but in the process of expressing my inner thoughts through writing, I actually released a lot of negative emotions virtually. Especially when you are depressed and don’t want to start working, you can even write hundreds or even thousands of words on OneNote every day. Even if there is no content and you are moaning without illness, you will always feel happy during the writing process and after you finish writing. very.
I saw a video at station B last night, telling a point of view why good people don’t live long. Lord up believes that a good person always thinks about others and thinks a lot for others, and if he thinks too much, he will accumulate a lot of thoughts and emotions in his heart, but he is a good person, he will think about others, and he will express his thoughts with concern The final impact on others is hidden in my heart. For a long time, the accumulation of thoughts is easy to form qi, and the stagnation of qi is easy to evolve into nodules, which affects health.
I deeply agree with this UP master’s point of view, and I also feel that I sometimes have such a situation. I’m not saying I’m a nice person, but I care a lot about other people’s thoughts, so many thoughts or emotions will be hidden in my heart and digested by myself, so as not to affect others, affect relationships, or affect my so-called “image”. Although you can occasionally complain to your friends and relatives, there are always times when you can’t find someone to express your confidant to. At this time, it is very valuable to write down your thoughts through writing, even if it’s just for yourself, or even if you don’t See, it’s enough to write it out.
However, like many things that are good for knowing, journaling and expressing yourself can often be difficult to sustain for various reasons. Especially after I get used to typing on the computer keyboard, if I can’t use the computer at some point, I will give up recording, and these backlogged thoughts and feelings will be forgotten, which is really a pity. How to use mobile terminals such as mobile phones to record and write more conveniently will be the next direction of exploration.
