Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on [email protected]

The Shared Feelings Megathread (lemm.ee)

I am putting this up on behalf of someone else (I was asked so nobody would get in trouble for bumping while this thread is pinned). This is going to get thread-gamey. Here is how this works. Each person will comment with a feeling. You can go as intricate as you'd like in terms of details, and see if anyone relates. People who relate must reply "+1" to the initial comment, and maybe detail it even more from their perspective or try to explain the feeling for example. Those who don't relate must reply with "-1".

You can look in the replies for examples. There's another thread on another site that serves as the inspiration to this as well, if that helps to provide a basis for how this works.

A feeling when you have conquered Alexithymia and every feeling feels new and exiting to discover.

-1

Not sure if +1 or -1, because technically I relate, but it's been about 15 years. Nowadays I find new feelings embarrassing and exhausting. Another thing I have to bury so people offline won't find me annoying.

-1 but I’m happy for you! I feel like I’ve always been really in touch with my emotions

-1 as that was how I felt couple of years ago but the exitment wore off. I sadly no longer feel that way but that time was great. (I have one more feeling to discover for 100% completion rate)
