What if the feeling is distorted and it needs more digging to get to a truth that is deeper. It is valid in the moment and yet not all there is. Experience is such a subjective thing. I am not saying there can't be a point of reference, but I know some people who hype and dramatize because it creates attention. They overwrite others because the feel sooo hurt or sooo insulted about something that wasn't meant to hurt. They go on and on using it to get what their way. There is a truth under that feeling experience.....it is another level....it keeps going... What do you think?
It is because we don't let ourselves experience our feelings that those feelings become distorted. We have an experience that we don't like. That experience gets shoved deeper and deeper down inside of us and becomes distorted as we attempt to avoid pain, only it makes the pain worse.
