Answer to Question #210762 in English for Hlengi

Question

Does your form of addres change in accordance with your feelings

Answer 1

Feelings are emotions. Emotions are not consciously controlled. Emotions are strongly linked to memory and experience. If something bad has previously happened to you, your emotional response to the same stimulus is likely to be strong. However, one can always change how he or she feels. Your emotional responses do not necessarily have much to do with the current situation, or to reason, but you can overcome them with reason and by being aware of your reactions. One may not be in a position to control other people, but can always control how you react to them.
