Sometimes, we get so used to not feeling our feelings. 
Maybe it's easier.
Less painful.
Less humiliating.
Makes us seem stronger than we are.
Where did we get this from and when did we start believing it?

And then of course, we don't do well at accepting or allowing the feelings of others. 

This is dangerous for us, because unfelt emotions get stored deep within the fiber of our being.

Don't ever stop feeling. Don't dim down your big feelings in fear of unacceptance. 
Learn to feel all over again, and start with yourself.
