Your Emotions Are Not Special
It is quite possible to spend your whole life in an emotional stupor.
Some 15 years ago I spent a year in that filthy, overcrowded, smelly pit called London; quite easily the most unpleasant year of my life. Part of the penance was to meet some arty types, all of whom like to parade their special emotional nature as their excuse for being tedious bores. They were more sensitive than you or I and suffered because of the cauldron of emotions bubbling inside them. Their emotions were so special that no one wanted to employ them or take an interest in their work.
Our emotional nature is a leftover from our animal heritage, a programmed series of shortcuts that inform us of our survival status. Anger, hatred, sadness, fear, depression, and excitement are emotions experienced by dogs and monkeys just as we experience them. So if you want to be super-unspecial, then live the life of a dog with your animal emotions. It's not as if we don't know where hatred, envy, and anger will lead—they lead to suffering. If you think your emotions are special, that you have a finessed sensitivity to the world, then I can assure you you do not, and as Freud would say, all you are doing is displaying your neurosis.
What is special is the ability to moderate the emotions so we can live a life of reason. The alternative is to spend the next month furious with your partner because they refuse to follow your latest food fad. If fact, be my guest, spend the rest of your life in your favorite emotional states, and abandon living altogether. Your emotions are nothing, and others will quite rightly ignore them. What's even more impressive is the ability to moderate emotions through processing them, or 'eating them’, as we say here. It shows that an individual has cultivated consistency and remains unaffected by distractions. Jung states it thus:
We can be possessed and altered by moods, or become unreasonable and unable to recall important facts about ourselves or others.
You may never meet someone capable of processing their emotions and leading a reasonable life - it’s that special.
