Other #77598 Is it ok to hide your emotions?

[AskSatanOperator]

I don't mean repression, but hiding them from strangers. I can feel a lot, but I don't like others to see and prefer a colder exterior, warm only to close friends/family.

The Gods feel things very intensely, but I assume this doesn't mean they are super expressive of those emotions?

Can I still become socially successful in business etc., by only attracting compatible friends/business relations with those who don't mind the way I am?

I really hate andrapoda, and they hate me, and I am sick of trying to constantly placate them and forcing myself to show emotions I don't want to show.

It hurts me very very badly to do this with strangers and causes mental illness for me, to go against my nature so drastically.

But I don't want to turn into a robot either, if that is the inevitable result.

You can maintain a social distance and neutrality with people you don't know well, this is called “Etiquette” Keep a neutral mood - it's good and healthy and will serve you well in any situation.

Suppressing emotions is bad, find a way to express them.

If someone causes too much and often negative emotions by their actions on purpose - they deserve to be cursed.

Why do you hate 'andrapoda'? What have they specifically done to harm you? All the mundane things you find annoying will always exist and has existed under sun.

They are still human just like you but the difference is that rational human beings exist for one another and you know the Good (Truth). Why resent those that are ignorant about reality? They wish for divinity in their lives just like everyone. They lack the mental and spiritual capabilities in this life (possibly many from now as well) to understand where to find it.

I recommend meditating on why you get so infuriated by regular people and learn to let go more while treating people accordingly and fair, if you wish to be successful in social settings.


I won't comment on if it's good to hide emotions or not as that's another topic in itself when speaking about the general population but this Path teaches how to control emotions accordingly to specific situations and that is the level of thinking for the Zevist, in my opinion.
