I need help. I'm trying to find ways to be able to be more open with my emotions..

people say I come off as a emotionless person, I have walls.. I'm sure we all do, but my walls are really high and as much as I think to try to be more open, I can't.

I can't find the words, I can't find the ways.

I was warned that this could actually cause issues mostly relationship wise because of there's someone trying to get close and I'm just putting more space between us.

Anyway, I've been meditating lately, went to the beach alone which has helped me to organize my thoughts and emotions, but I know how I feel, I know what I feel, my issue is showing it and expressing it, putting it into actual words.

I even have a different way to say what I feel.. So it also scares me that the other person doesn't understand me.

I also feel like this other person isn't doing enough for me to just come out and pour my heart out, I have high expectations and not materialiatically but I feel like if I tell someone how I feel is because I trust them with this part of me.

I always go the extra mile for people around me, I give without expecting anything in return, I accept others for who they are, I take my time to understand them but I never seem to get the same in return, or at least I don't feel like people actually want to understand me and be there for me.

Any other ideas? has anyone had issues like this and found something that helps?? if you did please share here or pm. 🙂

How does one follow the heart?

Ps: if you have knowledge of chakra balancing that would help too, my weakest chakra is Anahata. (Heart chakra)

Are you really giving without expecting anything in return tho? You say that and the next sentence is a heartfelt pang of how no one provides for you what you do for them. So there is some expectation of reciprocity.

- I do, and I don't expect anything in return as in favors or anything, most people are there for me but I still think that they don't take the time to understand me, so they can say that they will help and such but I don't feel like they care.



Walls are initially built to protect fragile hearts when they are young and bruised and broken the first time. Then as life continues on the walls you built, for protection of a soft heart, end up becoming a prison in which you lock yourself.

- Yes!! exactly that. It's like a huge rock over it that I can't lift.



I've found that walls are not meant to be scaled. Most people don't want to have to tirelessly prove their love over and over. Because if they successfully get through a wall, there's just another waiting there the next time.

- Great Point!!! I think water signs do that. I dont ask people to prove me their love over and over, for me it has to be direct, straight forward, and some emotional stability or at least be able to be the happily bubbly person that I am.



Instead of looking to the walls to protect you, focus on taking a soft heart and making it strong. Focusing on strengthening yourself will allow you to be more open and expressive.

- I do consider myself a strong person, which is part of the reason my friend said that some people don't think I need that stimulation, I'm very independent and a mother so I'm always busy but yet I have time to help others ? I just feel like Im always doing something to cheer other people up and it feels weird seeing someone doing things for me. ?

Focusing on rooting for yourself. The care you extend to others, pull back. Give that care to yourself. Even if you have to think of yourself in third person. That will ground you. Focus on the benefits of being open, not the fear of rejection.

Rarely will people always understand and accept us 100% all the time. I found when I accept myself though, it matters less and less whether others accept what I offer. If they don't, I'm content that my value is unaffected, and move on ready to offer only where I am needed. I waste a lot less emotional energy that way as well.

- I feel drained many times after being around people, I never expect validation from others so I don't really care but those energies drain me. I dont feel drained after helping a friend who is going through problems, or things like that. What drains me is fake people, I cannot stand being around them.



Sorry my thoughts were all over the place lol.

-its okay, I'm the same way haha.

There are techniques you can learn in order to express yourself better. It's about connecting to what you feel on the inside (because you must feel something, right?) and translating it into words.

Maybe an article like this can help you?

https://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/resolution-not-conflict/201305/how-express-feelings-and-how-not

Have you tried just saying emotions out loud when nobody is around? So if you feel sad, just say "I feel sad"out loud. If you are happy say: "I am happy". Just to get familiar with expressing what you feel inside.

If someone tries to get close and you put space between the two of you, it's best to find out WHY you are doing that. Only then you can start to solve the issue.

Your walls can only come down when you deal with the fear or hurt that is holding them up.

Thanks!! I will look at it tonight!

I can talk to a friend or two about how I feel but they never see it as if it's real.

I'm most of the time Happy. ? it's sort of my natural face haha

my issue is talking about my feelings as in love, I love you. even hard to say to my kids, although I do say it, but is like I need to go from my head to my heart and then say it.

But I feel like I can easily block it. Not with my kids, I mean with other people.



Hugs!!!!! ?

Aguas don't have an heart.

Can't follow something you don't have... ??
We have a heart.

You are just not capable of finding it.

Of course you do

Not many people realize that Aquas have deep feelings and emotions but they are all contained in the water carrier that is illustrated in the symbol. If those feelings were to be cracked open, they would be overwhelmed, hence the detaching from them

Yes ma'am.

Yet we get stomped on, told we have no emotions or feelings, no hearts, cold. People will shit on us if we let them, when we finally have had enough and start pushing back, people are like wtf. Lmao

No we are not your emotional dumping grounds, no we are not your therapists, we cry and feel emotions just like every other human out there.

Hahah ? I'm making the effort to dig deeeeep into me to find it. I'm sure we have one ☝️

I'm on a quest to prove that we have a heart! ?

Now I feel the pain of the people who post here about us emotionless aquas.

It still confuses the hell out of me, this stereotype. Not once in my life have I ever met a cold Aquarius. I don't get how others see that.

But maybe I'm the truckloads of water y'all carry around in your vase so who knows. 😆

Lol maybe! Water energy can usually pick up on it, at least in my experience.

Buy green Christmas lights. I used to use them to help me with my heart, but now I have the heart chakra tattood on me and I also have the crown chakra to help my third eye. Getting them tattood with proper colors does change things.

Also the color blue helps with communication.

Go to a rock or jewel store and look for small chakra alignment sticks, they have all of the chakras needed and are small, they cost like 20 bucks. I used to have one, but you need to let them sit in the sun to charge other wise they run low.

Buy some spiralina and chlorella pills, they are algae and help clean up your pineal gland. I love them they take away anxiety and make you feel pure.

Look into decalcifying your pineal gland, things like msm, l-theanine, chlorella and tons of apple cider vinegar help.

If you take msm and l theanine together you might end up having lucid dreams.
I got the crown tattooed too in 2013, I actually had made plans to get the third eye tattooed this past weekend but decided to go to the beach instead.

I want to get all of them as I work on balancing them. I started reading about balancing the heart chakra this weekend.

I will look into the other options as well 🙂

Thanks!!

When I was like this, I talked to strangers. Just walk out the house, travel to s public place, be nice and talk to strangers.

Also, I let go of the notion of "trust." There is no such thing or person to whom you can trust. Let it go. De-program yourself. Consciously remove it from your vocab.

You can be a strong person and not have a strong heart. It happen quite often actually lol. You said yourself your heart chakra was the most obscured, not your throat, correct? So it wouldn't seem like articulation is the problem, moreso that integrating your emotions into the rest of your being is maybe?

Aquas plug in very strongly to their environment. If you feel drained or as if others around you are fake take a moment to evaluate your energy compared to theirs. Often times people that seem fake are just functioning on a different vibration than we are, and the drain and resistance we feel is a result of not being able to recognize that everyone lives at their own pace.

You say it feel weird to see others doing for you? What is it do you mean? Do you have a hard time accepting love, is that it?
Yes absolutely! I thought you were referring to self-esteem or confidence.

I'm actually very confident about myself so it isn't insecurity. My throat chakra is actually my most balanced chakra, so it isn't articulation. I prefer to write my feelings than saying them. Also I do say things when they are asleep lol maybe is the confrontation? when it comes to my feelings in pretty sure they will pour out, I do feel them intensely but at the time to talk about it, I can't find them, my heart is calm, and is like I don't feel anything. so I just change the subject.

Yes, I actually feel better doing things for others.

it depends, if someone offers to help me with something I'm good, it makes me happy ?

I guess the thing is that I'm used to be independent and it just makes me a bit uncomfortable accepting it.

Sorry if I'm overly blunt OP lol. I'm not trying to sound bossy haha.

Just in Scorpio emotional investigation mode. I sometimes forget to drop a little more empathy into my emotional interrogations...
hahaha no that's perfect for me! empathy may not work lol

my daughter is a Scorpio sun and she probably has other Scorpio placements but she makes my heart melt! She tells me she loves me all the time!! my ex is a Pisces moon, very emotional. we ended our relationship about 2 yrs ago and til this day he's very expressive. Back when we started I was always open to him but I remember I always wrote him letters, that was my way to communicate my feelings, even until a few years ago.

You are who you are, someone will apriciate you. Don't change.
Exactly. When you find the right person you will take down those walls.

You don't want to go around sharing emotions with just anybody. Most people don't deserve that anyways

Thanks!! some people do deserve it, that's why I'm asking for a way to be more expressive with them

there is this aquarius guy who shared so many traits like you.

he doesn't know how to open up his feeling, he gives without expecting anything back in return.

I tried to understand him, I was there for him, i did so many things for him, all he did was pulling me away.

he put his wall up and i'm still trying to break it.. but it's hard..

I don't know how can i fix this, but I'm going to keep trying everything I got to break pass his shell.
