No it's not weird at all....

Sometimes I have triggers, sometimes I don't

That Taurus thread is triggering as fuck and I don't know why, well maybe I do...

How do I calm myself, indulge into things that feels good temporarily or run away

Just keep running



But when I'm working, creating or apart of things, it's not that bad....

I am running away from everything today.

How do you calm yourself when your emotions are all over the place due to someone? There is nothing that person has said or done, but you just feel hurt, mad and even their hello to someone makes you want to cry. It is really weird, because like I said there is no trigger for this feeling today, but just feel overwhelmed.

Listen to calming music

Meditate (guided meditations are great!)

Take some time alone to refuel or recharge

Do something you love, lose yourself in it

Yoga or a sport to take your mind off of things

Hope this helps 🙂

I very much feel like being alone today and away from the source of anxiety.

I have a good cry in private and let it all out. Then have a nice big girl yell saying "Fucc you (insert name) I'm over this shit. I'm done feeling this way"

It doesn't work, but it helps in that moment 😄

I did this today 😄 Very odd day. I don't like feeling this way. Trying to chill and relax now.

It was a very odd day for me too. Loving one but repulsed by another. Such is life lol

Glad you were able to get through it.

I felt like that earlier then came across this quote

"If you were able to give so much to the wrong person, imagine how much you could give to the right one."

This helped me out today and put me back into my IDGAF spirit.

It is so easy initially when your feelings are not involved. No care what he is up to, who he talks to. I wish things always stay that way even when you start getting interested, always have little less interest. I wish that was possible.

How do you calm yourself when your emotions are all over the place due to someone? There is nothing that person has said or done, but you just feel hurt, mad and even their hello to someone makes you want to cry. It is really weird, because like I said there is no trigger for this feeling today, but just feel overwhelmed.

If you have taken the time explore your own emotions and can't find the reason then it maybe the other person.

Reach out and ask them what is bothering them. Follow up by asking if there is a issue they need To talk about about you.

Sometimes there is shit we don't notice consciously but the unconscious does. This sounds like one of these cases. You have picked/tuned in on something.

I think I know the reason, this person was all nice and made me open up and then sort of moved on, I mean became super comfortable in not asking much, like he got me to speak now his urge is satisfied. I just am angry as I cannot say hey why did you stop talking much now, but also mad because I did not go after him and ask him to listen to my story. I mean one can at least continue talking at same pace. I mean he is cordial, but you know how it makes you mad when someone goes from high intensity to low and acts all casual.

Yup. I've done the high intensity to low intensity myself. It's exhausting to maintain without replication. It's literally disheartening to me.

It sounds like he was just looking for counsel from you and satisfied that. You recognize you didn't exactly ask for the same to be fair🙃

Edit: Correction:

That's a valid reason to feel anger. Still though reach out to about it.

Most of the suggestions given are nothing more than distractions, which in turn are simply different flavours of self-denial.

If you genuinely want to understand such triggers, some introspection is absolutely necessary. If not then at least admit to yourself that you constantly crave revelling in drama.

Yes, I think it has more to do with me also, as I get this feeling anytime I feel some interest from someone, after a while I start doubting. I think I start analyzing their words and actions too much and especially about what they say about others. you know how it goes, is he thinking about someone else.

I would be emotional and irrational and confront him, accusing him of some nonsense 😅 Sometimes people become disinterested in you because they don't feel any emotion from you. Just let it out who cares , what have you got to lose anyway if he's bored with you. Maybe he'll think you're a crazy bitch but you will feel better lol

Your feelings are valid so why try to supress them?

I think he has become too comfortable since I am around, and I am around by virtue of us having to work together. Not saying I don't enjoy working together, but I think he is now oh who else can I work with, like I hear him mentioning names of other girls. It is beginning to annoy me, like ok maybe he is not interested in me, was just curious about me and now he is curious about other girls. All I can do is try and be distant and polite just doing my work without showing any emotions. It's like he is bored now and on to the next. Whatever, just makes me mad. Maybe my fault for taking his initial interest seriously. I guess other girls may be feeling the same way around him if he is like that with everyone. Any suggestions for how I can turn this around? Like I don't want him taking me for granted.

Reading and music are my two main go toos when I feel out of sorts and need to calm down. If that doesn't work, I nap because I don't want to think anymore.

I hope you're feeling better, and can get your inner peace back 💙

Oh nap, yes, I feel like doing that sometimes too, just so I do not have to think. I don't like this feeling of anxiety. A break away from that person though hurts, I think helps a little. Makes me feels like I got some of my control over myself back.

Distractions are necessary because there is life after introspection. Even after/during you get to the bottom of it, you STILL have to get on with your life. The distractions then just turn into living on with your life.

Yes, still have to get on with life, so true. At another time when I was going through similar emotions I just let them be, after a while they stopped bothering me and eventually I did not feel anything, just went about my day without that person having any impact. I hope with time these feeling too shall pass.

Everytime I hear him take another girls name I feel rage 😄 I had such a strange reaction yesterday when he just said Hi to someone. It was so illogical I had to step away.

Been there for sure even with certain friends. Maybe it was the way he said it or the way he acted ...like it piqued your "wtf was that" meter. Don't beat yourself up about it tho...you had that reaction for a reason...just have to figure out why exactly.

Yes, maybe I felt like he was happy to hear from her, this was all on a common chat at work. It sucks as you see everyone's interactions. I know I should not be analyzing what he is thinking about others but maybe that's because I feel like he acts like oh I got her she is always there. I am not interested in seeing or knowing what he thinks about others but hate that I have to. I know I just need to get over him to not let it impact me this way. I had a similar situation with someone else where now I don't feel any emotions and so it does not make any difference to me even if he is flirting with someone in front of me. And I see him trying to be friendly with me again, maybe that indifferent vibe pulls people back again? But I don't want to go back to not feeling indifferent.

The indifference vibe does tend to pull people back in in my experiences but once I'm indifferent that pretty much spells the end for anything to ever happen.

Yeah that would be tough to have to witness all the time. I think you'll figure out a way just give yourself a break and patience...depending on the level of feelings involved...it may take some time. Sometimes you have to feel it all to get over it all.

I hear you but you have made a few threads like this, I remember. So it's sort of a theme. I don't think you make yourself important enough so people disregard you or take you for granted, as you say. Maybe you need to feel more self-worth? You seem like a very genuine person who doesn't play around with people's feelings and therefore deserve better treatment than this, right? You just have to learn an effective way to voice it or show it - to let people know they have disappointed you. It's okay to make demands- It's better than sitting there stewing over it or feeling jealousy and helplessness. Like even if you cause issues with this guy it's better than him taking about other girls in front of you and making you feel insignificant and used. I understand it is awkward because it is at work so you don't want to cause a scene but it does sound like he has dismissed you and you're obviously unhappy about it, so let it be known - increase your personal power 😆👍

My weird advice ^^
click to expand


I like the advice. I do feel like when someone moves on that I do not have what it takes to hold their attention and it crushes me because they approached me first and made me open up. I feel like I got played. I feel like I did not ask for it. It is different if I don't get someone I want, but someone who made me notice them doing this upsets me more. And yes, I start thinking about the other girls in the picture. I know that is wrong. I need to focus only on me. My way of letting someone know they hurt me is by becoming distant. But if they don't care it won't even matter to them 😄 But I feel I get my power back by getting far from that person, even if just emotionally, as sometimes can't avoid them due to working together. When I really stop feeling for that person then I don't get upset anymore even if they are with someone else. But I guess yes, in all this I don't voice my disappointment, just make myself walk away quietly which is why maybe I feel hurt for a long time.

Ugh as a cancerian ...i really really relate to this.

Sometimes i can't ....

Usually i try and put it in perspective. Be philosophical. Remember it will pass.

Exercise helps ...to ground me and focus on another kind of energy.

But sometimes ..as a water sign ...i can't help it.

Let the wave come ...and go....

Yes, sometimes it is out of our hands. Other days it is better. And when it is better people come back, when it is hard they go further away.

I usually go into hermit mode, the famous Aqua detachment tactic usually works for me. And drawing helps too. Perhaps it's also a good idea to check what expectations you had that weren't met by the other person? Not superficial stuff, like "he didn't text me back", but go deep. What's behind the expectation? And then give that to yourself, love the part in you that is hurting. Nobody can make you feel bad unless you allow it. Stay close to yourself.

My only expectation is consistency. I feel like my trust is broken when the person is wishy washy or like I am not important enough for that person to think it is okay to play with my emotions. I like what you said stay close to yourself.

I have Scorpio sun and cancer moon and I get like this when I feel like I am no longer in control of my feelings and at the mercy of someone else, and also when I’m on or around my period. 🤦🏼‍♀️🤣

It’s a vulnerable and scary place to be, ugh.. I usually will try to shift my focus onto something else like a new workout program or a new hobby or new book until my emotions stabilize.

Yes, exactly, my sudden emotional reaction bothered me more, like I have no control over my emotions. Usually distancing myself from that situation and time makes me feel calm after a while.

If you need to immediately calm yourself try taking a deep breath, holding it in for 15 seconds and then exhaling. Then look at your feet for a moment. Here's a quote that isn't mine but I think I'm the only person using it lately. "Fear is in us to warn us of danger. Not necessarily to keep us away from it."

These moments in life are truly moments where you see who you truly are. What type of person stands in front of you that would make you cower inside of yourself— Are they 30 feet tall?? Did they have a second little head on their shoulders or something— We all are born, grow, and live day by day moment by moment. Maybe next time you see that person you should scream at them, "Raaaaaagh!!!!" After he/she screams and you laugh maybe you'll understand that whoever is just another person, even if your spider sense is tingling..
