How to discard my emotions.

[1048576]

I need to become more stoic, because I'm always angry and stressed and sad, even when objectively life is okay. How do I achieve this?

 

[o-Serin-o]

Basically, stop giving a **** about things.

Grow some balls and stop being overly emotional?

Or just watch a lot of Star Trek and act like Spock.

 

[TigerWoods]

I'm naturally stoic in person.

It's not healthy.

No that's be spending time feeling sorry for yourself.

You have to get a hold of your own emotions OP, nobody can tell you how to do it.

^ act like this doosh

Some people have troubles disregarding there emotions. I recommend that you do not discard it, rather redistribute it into a different area. How to distribute the emotions depends on which ones we are talking about.

If you have an emotional problem of the psychiatric variety, just talk to people about your problems, but only people you can trust. It works wonders even if you are 100% ok.

I don't know, I just tend to be rational and say "oh I'd best not show emotion now".

And they can't read my, can't read my, pokerface!

Emotions are just states of mind that pop up then disappear. Instead of trying to block whenever you're angry, just accept that you're angry/sad. Generally it works fairly well, once you can get rational about something you generally calm down because your emotions aren't dictating your actions.

 

[Affinity]

Just be cool and don't let things get to you so much. Indifference is key.

 

[Dre89]

Just go for a run when you're angry.

Draining yourself physically drains you of any pent up tension.

One day Tom will find a way to make Mafia cure cancer.

Your sadness is the reason why you are always angry try to figure out what is the reason of your sadness and try to make some choices on how to overcome that sadness.

Is it possible to personally assess that life is "objectively" okay? In practicing stoicism, are you also willing to neglect the positive ends of certain feelings such as joy, happiness, and love when your life moves in a positive direction?

^ This.

You don't have to necessarily discard all of your emotions. They make you who you are.

 

[GwJ]

Don't discard, recycle!

Use music to manipulate your emotions, that's what I do.

 

[Solstice]

You can just act like you don't give a **** about anything.

Watch the Dark Knight and do as the Joker does.

 

[StinkomanFan]

Read Garfield on a regular basis. That's how I became cold, unfeeling, and unfunny. It works best when you're a small child though. Gives it the chance to go through your subconscious.

 

[Mota]

Better yet read Garfield minus Garfield

But honestly, don't let people get to close to you. Just be weary of people and don't give a stuff

 

[Pikaville]

You don't want to discard your emotions, you just want to learn to control them.

I think your a pretty smart guy, that's why you should know emotions have led to great decisions as well as bad ones.

Luigitoilet also had a great suggestion.

 

[-Jax]

Find a girlfriend and cheat on her until you stop feeling bad about it.

Worked for me.

If you're hesistant add more booze.

Hop on a train, ride it across the country, and then walk along a beach at sunset. Do this on a whim, do it alone, and do it with a good book... preferably a classic with a protagonist whom you can identity with. I'd be happy to give you some suggestions if you would like.

LOL.

Realistically, you need to form barriers to separate your emotions from logical processes your brain sends out. So, when your emotions run high, remain cool and think about the issue in a reasonable and professional manner. It works for me.

Or, you could go to clubs and socialize more, maybe even get laid. As crude as it sounds, it's surprisingly effective to make someone feel better, unless the problem stems directly from an inferiority complex.

Step 1: Stop giving a ****
Step 2: Continue to not give a ****
Step 3: Repeat
