My friend had to write a paper, in which a character had to convey an emotion.  She said that the emotion was "tired".  Is "tired" considered an emotion?

No - I don't think so...it's a state of being...\n\nSad, excited, happy, disappointed, sad, etc are emotions!

I heard a quote once on this subject.  "A man that does not cry, has no soul".   I knew a vicious murderer that I met in jail, that admitted that he cries sometimes.  It has nothing to do with being weak or not.

I think it's beautiful that you are able to find words to clothe your emotions in order to express them on paper and allow them passage.  Artistic expression captures those innermost feelings that most everyone experiences at one time or another.  Earlier this moring I was reading something on pain I'd like to share with you.  \n\n"pain is the following of the line of the greatest resistance and thereby reaching the summit of the mountain; pain is the smashing of the form and the reaching of the inner fire; pain is the cold of isolation which leads to the warmth of the central sun; pain is the burning in the furnace in order finally to know the coolness of the water of life; pain is the journeying into the far country, resulting in the welcome to the Father's Home; pain is the illusion of the Father's disowning, which drives the prodigal straight to the Father's heart; pain is the cross of utter loss, that renders back the riches of the eternal bounty; pain is the whip that drives the struggling builder to carry to utter perfection the building of the Temple.\nThe uses of pain are many, and they lead the human soul out of darkness into light, out of bondage into liberation, out of agony into peace. That peace, that light and that liberation, with the ordered harmony of the cosmos are for all the sons of men."

No. We feel what we feel. Our emotions can be affected by stress, but that does not mean they are a lie. They are just how you feel at the moment.

(m)\n\nWe all know what anger is, and we've all felt it: whether as a fleeting annoyance or as full-fledged rage. \n\nAnger is a completely normal, usually healthy, human emotion. But when it gets out of control and turns destructive, it can lead to problems—problems at work, in your personal relationships, and in the overall quality of your life. And it can make you feel as though you're at the mercy of an unpredictable and powerful emotion. This brochure is meant to help you understand and control anger. \n\nWhat is Anger? \n\nThe Nature of Anger \n\nAnger is "an emotional state that varies in intensity from mild irritation to intense fury and rage," according to Charles Spielberger, PhD, a psychologist who specializes in the study of anger. Like other emotions, it is accompanied by physiological and biological changes; when you get angry, your heart rate and blood pressure go up, as do the levels of your energy hormones, adrenaline, and noradrenaline. \n\nAnger can be caused by both external and internal events. You could be angry at a specific person (Such as a coworker or supervisor) or event (a traffic jam, a canceled flight), or your anger could be caused by worrying or brooding about your personal problems. Memories of traumatic or enraging events can also trigger angry feelings. \n\nExpressing Anger \n\nThe instinctive, natural way to express anger is to respond aggressively. Anger is a natural, adaptive response to threats; it inspires powerful, often aggressive, feelings and behaviors, which allow us to fight and to defend ourselves when we are attacked. A certain amount of anger, therefore, is necessary to our survival. \n\nOn the other hand, we can't physically lash out at every person or object that irritates or annoys us; laws, social norms, and common sense place limits on how far our anger can take us. \n\nPeople use a variety of both conscious and unconscious processes to deal with their angry feelings. The three main approaches are expressing, suppressing, and calming. Expressing your angry feelings in an assertive—not aggressive—manner is the healthiest way to express anger. To do this, you have to learn how to make clear what your needs are, and how to get them met, without hurting others. Being assertive doesn't mean being pushy or demanding; it means being respectful of yourself and others. \n\nAnger can be suppressed, and then converted or redirected. This happens when you hold in your anger, stop thinking about it, and focus on something positive. The aim is to inhibit or suppress your anger and convert it into more constructive behavior. The danger in this type of response is that if it isn't allowed outward expression, your anger can turn inward—on yourself. Anger turned inward may cause hypertension, high blood pressure, or depression. \n\nUnexpressed anger can create other problems. It can lead to pathological expressions of anger, such as passive-aggressive behavior (getting back at people indirectly, without telling them why, rather than confronting them head-on) or a personality that seems perpetually cynical and hostile. People who are constantly putting others down, criticizing everything, and making cynical comments haven't learned how to constructively express their anger. Not surprisingly, they aren't likely to have many successful relationships. \n\nFinally, you can calm down inside. This means not just controlling your outward behavior, but also controlling your internal responses, taking steps to lower your heart rate, calm yourself down, and let the feelings subside. \n\nAs Dr. Spielberger notes, "when none of these three techniques work, that's when someone—or something—is going to get hurt." \n\nAnger Management \n\nThe goal of anger management is to reduce both your emotional feelings and the physiological arousal that anger causes. You can't get rid of, or avoid, the things or the people that enrage you, nor can you

I just done a research paper on this same story...\nA symbol of the story would be something that stands out to you throughout the story. \nTowards the beginning of the story, the narrator describes a painting of her father(?) drawn in crayon. It symbolizes her wanting to stay a child and for her father to continue to care for her.\nAt the end of the story, the townspeople find a single hair on the pillow next to her dead lover. She continued to lie beside him even after she had killed him. She found eternal love; which was something that wouldn't leaver her.\nTo actually start the paper, how many words, do you count all words but articles...\nI would start out the essay with a brief of the story. Give three symbols in which you could describe. I gave you two, so find one more...\nFor each of the three paragraphs, describe in detail of the symbol. Paragraph one, why do you think she wanted to stay a child? Paragraph two, whatever you find. Paragraph three, what was the meaning of the silver strand of hair.\nIn the last paragraph, sum up the paper. Tell what you felt about this story. Do not use the word you. Teachers will count against that. Make your story interesting.\nLast but not least, a works cited page. Make sure to cite all sources, there are plenty on this story. All your cites must be in alphabetical order.\nThat should be about it. If you have anymore questions feel free to write.

Absolutely!  I can write exactly how I feel and get my point across, especially if I am riled up at the time!  When I am mad, or upset - my feelings supercede my verbal reasoning and I cannot find the words to express myself.  After the moment is over, I can think of a million things I "should have said".\n\nIn fact, I just chewed out my husband on a scathing email this morning!!

I am not familiar with that piece of literature, but it suggests to me that the character had to figure out how to solve a problem, but only had a minute and a half to do so before some disaster happens.  I would have to see it in context to help you better.  Also, the word should be "lasts," not "last."

Extreme tiredness, and feelings of depression. It's a long, hard road, but there is an end to it. Feel better soon xx

I would bet that something else is bothering him, and you triggered an emotion.  It doesn't mean that there is any deep seated issue, and it doesn't mean there isn't.  In situations like that, I ignore the instance and bring it up later in a neutral and non condemning manner.  Then I see how the individual reacts once removed from the situation emotionally.

it's somewhat mundane, but only so much so in that the phrases are commonplace in similar angsty writings.\n\nhowever, it does sound like it is heart-felt.  try saying things less obviously and instead be more imaginative and, well, poetic.\n\n\n\n\nfor example,\n \ninstead of: 'what makes me happy now will make me sad later'\ntry saying: 'the humor of the dawn at dusk will bite'\n\n\n\n\n//

is this for a school answer? if so, i don't want to be blamed for the answer in case it's wrong :) but, i'd go with choice A. The word "individuated" means, literally, to have a distinct character

we actually cry as much at sad endings; as happy 1's------Its an overwhelming emotion-empathy--you cant help it--you feel like your the one in the situation.It overcomes your emotions and you let loose. Passes a hanky
