this noun is what separates us from the animals, and possibly from each other. what people say, or do, even the smallest action, determines how we interpret ourselves with this lexis.
because we've experienced this, and we know how it feels like, we're able to relate ourselves to songs, lyrics, movies, situations and people that reflect on different kinds of emotion. our boyfriends / girlfriends, best friends, friends, family, teachers, and even strangers are the main people who take part in how we feel. sometimes we're unable to deal with such emotions.. like heart breaks and depression, which happens to give out negativity. what people don't realise is that it's their participation that leads people to such state. depending on people to deal with how yu feel is impossible. yu may lean on them to help yu through it; but to depend on is asking them a big favor, which may not even be accomplished. males tend to hide how they really feel - especially when it comes to ones that give out negativity. thinking that it's not 'manly' to show their emotions out, this sometimes may cause a problem between them and the problem. females, on the other hand, tend to bottle it up their emotions - through all the different situations and such, and then open up about it with their friends. what we should all keep in our minds, is that even the slightest gesture that suggests any friendliness, even a smile, may brighten up someone else's day. it doesn't take that much energy or effort to do so, but it's the thought that counts. and what've we got to lose?
