Reuters Health news service NY Psychofobia = the normal fear of strong emotions If its true ‘aging fades Neg. emotions, i must ask why? what causes it? Maybe its that older people feel better, more relaxed, healthy, adjusted & happy & content? However if people withold in many bad feelings, perhaps it could cause them to get depressed, get slow, fat, sick &or grow old & die? Millions of adults take drugs to not feel negative emotions. Also the 23 yr study was done on normal Americans, not poor, colored & natural people. Most modern psychiatry, psychology & social science works hard to keep people normal, not feeling emotions. Don’t cry now!!!!! THE Rush of PASSIONS OF AGING, Hippies & Squares? Lifelong patterns of emotions began with love-sexing by parents to make a baby; during mother emotions & more strong emotions at birthing & early bonding process with mother. However children raised in white civilized cities are conditioned to not have/express strong or negative feelings in schools. So powerful & bad feelings are gradually dulled, repressed & hidden as we grow up, grow old & die. Do we get more scared of openly expressing, hearing or seeing bad feelings while growing older, during mid-life-crises? Hear any sobs, screams or creative conflicts recently?
Most business, religion & laws forbid heavy emotions, except certain ceremonies, bash sports, war games, dangers, accidents, crises & dying. But even funeral have few sobs now, tho millions go to movies to feel some excitment safely in dark comfort. Most adults believe we age naturally by getting slow, fat, content & numb, forgetful & depending on others.
So many sensitive babies are victims of mothers fears, hate, drugs, junk foods, pollutions & conflicts months before she gets zapped by hospital treatments, before & during & after birth. No wonder millions of urbanites take drugs daily to relax & not feel bad. Few teens & adults still feel our passions openly with friends & family, let alone strangers, except at some big contests, games & crashes. No wonder so many are sexually frustrated, non emotional, hyperactive & crave to deeply relax.to rush of competing.
