I have a question folks.
When you are happy or peaceful, do you find yourself still able to access the emotional part of yourself?Usually when I become happy, I just become so un emotional. For instance, I can't seem to empathize that much. Or when I read the posts here, I jsut don't know what to say. But when I feel sad, I seem to be able to find the right words to say to the posts here. But not when I am happy. I seem to be not able to access that part of the brain and the emotions. I almost become emotionally stupid I think. I can't seem to find any good thing to say. And I tend to dismiss things as trivial, which I know I don't do when I am depressed.
Anybody else feels this way?
I even have a feeling, that this might be a key charactersitic in people who are cheerful all te time. Maybe they just become indifferent to pain and tend to neglect it and not feel too much of it. Does it sound right?
Oh - by the way, one of the doctors here mentioned that I seem to be extremely cheerful!! Though I was little upset when he jokingly dismissed my claims of mental depression, I felt good that finally I am becoming quite cheerful.
