What are the other 2?

[@skahwachannel]

Thanks for tackling such a tricky topic, people never seem to like to talk about such topics, moods, anger, anxiety, mental health,.. You hammered it, u got new guy here on your channel..

17:33 a focal point! one problem with extreme control of emotions is that it frees you to perform atrocities. In the same way that you are indifferent to the "horrible death of your beloved", you are indifferent to the horrible suffering of your other, and much more so if you have negative perception of him even before. Emotions are directing your actions. In fact, they are an aspect of the action, often just the preparatory stage, or the fueling activity for the action. That's why they drive us to do things or stop us from doing them. Getting rid of the moods/emotions may turn you into a mechanical actor, which has a very dark aspect.

I feel that..no one is hardwired to be not moody.. I totally agree with the fact that having some regulation on our emotions is something that will help us as individuals rather than it being a moral obligation towards others. I mean, if we just look around.. We all talk about simpler times don't we? Majority of the world.. This generation is just trying to get a hold of their lives.. Stuck in an endless loop of rash decisions..based on how others treat us.. We talk about running away... To be at peace...i for instance love silence.. So its more of a step to help yourself.. At the end of the day.. No one cares about your mood swings. You are just one someone who isn't fun to be with.. Do it for yourself Ps. Silence is my way to deal with mood swings

[@jagolago-bob]

I think if you have decided that regulating your own moodiness will help you, then it might follow that improving others' moods will in turn help yours. It's contagious, in a way. Being surrounded by moody people is not preferable to being surrounded by kind and pleasant people, I assume you'll agree? One of the lies of Stoicism is that no-one can harm or affect you. This obviously isn't true. We are affected by everything around us. It's simply a Stoicist's way of attempting to protect himself. It can work (in a way) for some people, but not for others. I agree that being alone and maybe in silence can be calming and useful, but we don't all live alone, in caves. There are no moral obligations, but there often are practical solutions to problems. You can pretend those problems don't exist, but you always know that they do.

I think the people who truly loves and cares for us are and will always understand why I or the moody person is feeling a certain way and will give them the time and the space to sort their feelings and come out stronger and better.The whole idea that we are somehow obliged or it's our duty to not feel or not be in a bad mood so that others can live in peace.I for one believe that majority of the people don't really care what the other person is feeling or is hurt the thing they truly care for is how would this person's mood affect them would they snap?not talk to them?be angry?so how can I truly be obliged by someone when they themselves feel no obligation or duty or true genuine care towards me isn't the very nature of obligation or duty reciprocal?Yes we do have some people who are genuinely worried for us.I don't know if what i am saying is making any sense but this is what came in my mind pondering the question

[@samhardy2956]

I would definitely fall into the category of a moody person. I have a great job, I am going to get married to a beautiful woman who treats me like a king, I am physically blessed, I really have nothing to complain about. Still, I find myself getting angry and agitated over the smallest things. I never had the best childhood so maybe it is something to do with that, but it is a struggle I am aware of and something I wrestle with each day.

[@dadedraak]

Do you exercise regularly? Twice a week maybe? Couple that with healthy food?

[@samhardy2956]

@@dadedraak Three times a week i train martial arts, and i go running on the weekends. I also eat quite healthy

[@danielteegarden8982]

Hegel can make many people moody.

[@jagolago-bob]

Schopenhauer was pretty miserable, too.

Tools of emotional self-governance...humm. Interesting and useful

[@Authentistic-ism]

I'm fascinated by this topic too. I spend most of my time listening to podcast from psychologists and clinicians about emotional literacy and so on and so they fresh take on a topic I'm really interested in. I'm resisting the temptation to send it to my ex who calls himself a non Moody person, judged me for my alleged moodiness I'm convinced me to develop skills to quote-unquote deal with my feelings better but the funny part is everyone else since he's pretty damn Moody and his repression and denial of it just means he doesn't know he's taking it out on anyone else it's infuriating

[@Authentistic-ism]

Screw talk-to-text we making KZbin comments, I'm not editing that it probably makes sense enough

[@mauia88]

So is there a video on people who kill their emotions and think that's okay? Because I see more of that in life, especially by men.

[@jagolago-bob]

That is a large part of Stoicism, as far as I can tell. They kill their emotions to protect themselves. If you are weak, tired, or greatly outnumbered, then do that. If you have enough energy and intelligence, I think improving your environment can be more productive.

[@christinemartin63]

And that's why self-discipline, impulse control, and emotional equilibrium seem to get such a bad rap. Emphasis on cool reserve and reason isn't such a bad thing.

[@jeffreygoines6358]

Awareness of how you’re affecting people around you. Appearing to others. Your emotions act as a guide to what feels more beneficial to be doing. Charisma and a sense of humour help. But that’s just like, my opinion mannnn.

[@danielteegarden8982]

lolol so true.....thky dan t.

[@nihilist9216]

hey (ignore the name) i think people feel the need to transfer the negative energy they receive from work into someone else and the easiest way to do it is to transfer it into a loved one because they will surely feel the pain they felt (okay not the same pain). i think people must learn to communicate the negative emotions they feel instead of giving it on to someone they love. Instead of being moody, being hateful, learn to explain to someone and to yourself the feelings you are having and move on.

[@christinemartin63]

Hmmm ... I've listened to about 30 episodes on this channel. Based on certain recurring motifs, I'm beginning to see the intended profile of your typical listener: male, likes cars, eats a lot of fast food, works a blue-collar/gig job, rents, doesn't do much physical exercise but likes team sports, shops at Ikea, is in the 20s-30s age range, thinks a lot but maybe doesn't read much, does social media, doesn't belong to organized religion, lives in LA, vacations often in Vegas.
