This story gets really deep into the perspective of someone who literally works for outsourcing emotions, which produces a serious existential dread on his life. This constant flooding of intense external emotions gets to the point where he becomes detached from everything else in his own reality, making him take his existence for granted in a nihilistic manner. He didn't believe in himself anymore, as a result of feeling what every broken person could feel even if it wasn't his fault, even if it was just a job, it was still real and he couldn't just take it as nothing. Really leaves a lesson to be thought about, which is don't try to make other people's feelings yours, because they don't belong to you, they distract you from yourself, and in the end, you get hurt.

In my experience I would mind "outsourcing" my feelings simply because there's other way you can handle it. I think it's just cruel to put out your emotions and have someone taking them for you. I also think that every emotional and physical pain or happiness we may feel, teaches us something valuable and we learn to control or let go of those emotions. There's no need to force someone on taking your grief and pain for your situations.

For me I wouldn't outsource my emotions. I wouldn't want to just give someone the burden of my pain from a moral stand point. I need all the emotions of life including the bad ones. The bad emotions a person goes through make the good ones and moments a person experience can make a person better at times and stronger. A moral, ethical, consequence I think people would be unfulfilled if you only experience feelings. I feel like positive and negative go hand in hand. Negative emotions hurt but make the positive experiences feel much better such as winning and losing.

I truly believe that "outsourcing" your feelings would be harmful to your development as a person. I would love to say that I would outsource the feelings of a breakup, but even though it hurts, everything you go through shapes you into a better person and causes you to understand life in a brighter light. In my opinion, outsourcing your emotions is detrimental to you and your character, which would be a moral consequence.

I feel strange about outsourcing feelings, it just doesn't feel right for me. I understand that some people will struggle more to cope with certain life events, but in my perspective, the experience of overcoming a major emotional event is what makes us better for the following ones. In addition, I wouldn't want for someone else to feel what I'm feeling, and sometimes seeing. The story has many funerals, but funerals are just a part of life, regardless of our background, status, race, religion, eventually we'll attend to one, I rather feel it myself, if anything for respect of the loved one.

I, personally, don't think I would want to outsource any emotions that come as a consequence to a situation. Not only am I a very private person and wouldn't want aspects of my life to be shared with anyone  else (even a stranger.) I feel like getting too comfortable and pushing off the bad feelings that are inevitable experiences of life would weaken your overall mindset and mood. It's a new way to think of "if you don't use it, you lose it," if you don't continue to train and condition your brain for sadness, guilt, grief or pain- they will become harder to deal with and eventually, you'll find yourself outsourcing emotions for the simplest of things like losing your keys.

Well, in 2016 it was a stage where I had to learn to "outsource" myself. At that time I had moved to the US, not knowing a single word in English, just like saying "Thank you, hi, bye, how are you and YES" HAHA. I know it's funny, but it's not, it's because I arrived in Sinior Year, just a year before finishing High School. The worst three months in my life, in a school like Olympian High School, where there are not many Spanish speakers, my brain exploded every time I heard something, and I had the pressure to get good grades on tests and essays. Fortunately I had very good teachers who had patience with me, and the only thing I did was start to translate the words I heard in the air on my cell phone and little by little my brain made small sensory changes where I understood complete sentences (sometimes) and in that way, with patience, little by little I was able to answer questions and strike up a conversation.

The worst pain I've ever had to experience came from when I ended a relationship of 6 years with someone I loved. I went through the seven stages of grief and there were multiple occasions I would have paid any amount of money to outsource the pain I was feeling. It took me about six months just to get to a point where I tolerated the pain and another six months to move on completely. As corny as it sounds, I was blinded by love and couldn't see what a toxic person he really was. When I look back at the situation, Ive realized i'm actually grateful to have experienced all the pain, since it showed me how blinded I really was and how much of a happier person I am without him in my life. I think although at times we might feel our pain is unbearable and wish it was outsourced, we actually have to experience it in its entirety to move on in a healthy way.

It's easy to judge others for something you wouldn't do yourself. There is unimaginable pain in this world and everyone is searching for some glimmer of relief- even if it's only for a moment. I can say I wouldn't have outsourced any of the horrible moments of my life up until this point, but I've also never experienced the death of a baby or a miscarriage. I don't know if I'd be able to recover from something like that or be willing to let someone else feel that type of pain knowing it was only mine to feel.

If I could outsource a feeling I'd definitely choose anxiety. My anxiety gets in the way pretty often and has caused me many problems in the past. It makes me shut down and isolate myself which in turn has made me miss great opportunities, lose friendships, and even allow others to treat me not so nice. It makes a lot of aspects of my life a lot harder and it simply sucks. If I could not feel anxiety I think I would be more productive, more outgoing and more open to try new things.

One feeling I would definitely like to “outsource” is stress. For me it is very easy to fall into stress when trying to balance school, work, family, bills, etc., and it certainly takes a toll on me when it comes to successfully navigating these situations. By getting rid of stress, I would certainly free up my mind and be more productive. On the other hand, stress is more or less my motivating factor in getting stuff done and getting rid of it could eliminate any incentive for me to do anything useful.

If I had the choice to outsource a feeling it would probably be the pain I feel from migraines or headaches. I don't think there would be any moral, ethical, or future consequences to not feeling the physical pain of migraines other than the fact that I would feel better and have more energy. I guess one consequence for outsourcing physical pain could be that your pain tolerance would be higher if at some point you completely stop outsourcing the pain. You would probably experience a high magnitude of pain that was worse than before.

When I first coached volleyball I had to outsource every egotistical feeling that I would encounter. I was coaching a team that didn't have any prior knowledge to the sport and I had to set aside my feelings of being the best out there and instead input that learning and teaching my students would be my number one priority.

Well something many people would love to outsource to someone is heartbreak. A pain that many people would be very tempted in outsourcing. But it is very important because with heartbreak we realize what went wrong with ourselves, the other person, and the relationship as a whole. So from it we learn and we grow from it but only if we confront it and not run away from it. So by outsourcing your pain and feelings we might essentially miss the big lesson in it all. There would definitely be consequence because like the Kirthi in the story doesn't feel like she deserves anything good in life like love because of what she hasn't experienced personally but through the experiences that have been transmitted to her.

I'm not sure if I would like to outsource these feelings because this is what helps me grow but if I had to, I would out source my feelings of stress. Trying to balance out work, school, and my son is a lot of work to do and at times I feel so overwhelmed and stressed out to the point where I want to cry. I feel like I cant get a handle on things and everything is just piling up. On the contrary, I'm always told "It wont last forever". I would not like anyone else to go through these feelings but I also know that relieving stress is vital for the brain.

Driving straight to the point, I believe there are two emotional scenario  times in my life that I would love to share with individuals or groups of people. I will only be talking about a future memory that I could record within the pretext Mr. Yu's story. The memory that I would outsource first is my "hugs" (they are world-class by the way), I would make a compilation of all kinds of people being hugged from me. The sensation and feeling towards the act being of chief importance. The second memory would have to be the memory of "training", experiencing how hard, difficult, burdening, relaxing, calming, truthful, that can be... physical training being the primary source ,but playing chess, video games, and solving puzzles being a possibility. The mind is a wonderful space between the soul and body, using it to enrich yourself and others is always a wise choice.

First and foremost I would like to say it was really hard for me to understand and enjoy the story. Just something about it made me not like it at all and on top of that I still don’t quite understand what was happening. However if I had to outsource one emotion or experience, it would be the feeling during and after a break up. I would love to outsource my pain. I do agree with some of the comments though that it could be an invasion of privacy and some feelings are personal and contribute to growth and maturity. But I would outsource the pain of a breakup.

I can say that when it comes to outsourcing your feelings I would say depends on how one is feeling. There can be emotions one doesn't want to share because it can be a little to personal or private. I know sometimes there's emotions one can't handle alone and might need someone to talk to that can make it impossible to outsource your feelings. So I would say its a 50/50 when it comes to outsourcing one's feelings .

Although there are times that feel too difficult to bear, I don't think I would want to outsource my feelings. I truly believe that we grow and learn and get the chance to become a better person thanks to those hard experiences. I think some people need those experiences to change for the better. I can't think of anything that I would like to outsource my feelings for, maybe I haven't felt something so strong and/or difficult to overcome.

If I had to pick a feeling or experience I would possibly outsource to someone, it would be the negative bouts of my mental health. That being said, I would probably never have the conscious to outsource any of my negative feelings to someone due to the fact I know first hand how painful it is undergoing it. Although there are some positives to outsourcing your own emotions to someone else, I do believe there can also be a lack of accountability. For instance, when the narrator sees the grandfather realizing his own grandson wasn’t mentally present for his death, it broke his heart.

Just like my fellow classmates, I believe outsourcing your feelings is getting in the way of your privacy. I am an emotional person but I don't like showing my emotions in front of other people, I rather experience those emotions by myself, privately in my room. Although, If I were to outsource any feeling it would be the pain and frustration of being a nurse assistant because I do so much to help out other people by taking care of them and sometimes it's unfortunate because some people are very grateful for me and other people are rude and bitter and won't even say thank you for helping out with their medical needs.

I believe that outsourcing emotions is something that should be done depending on the situation. I agree with my classmates when they say it could be an invasion of privacy or that we use these experiences to grow in life. Personally, I would not want others to feel my pain! However, if I were to choose an experience to outsource my feelings for it would definitely be the stress and grief I experience from work. Covid 19 has lead to intense stress as well as multiple sad deaths in the facility I work at. Each passing day seems to get a little harder, its hard to seperate my normal life from my work because I must switch back and forth constantly. I would definitely utilize outsourcing for this.

I would say I'd outsource my feelings toward guilt because it is hard to control yourself when you know you hold guilt inside you. I do agree with some of the comments here such as like Kaitlin's at first I didn't know what was going on in the story until I had to look what it was about, but it got to me and I started understanding more.

I agree with Alicia. I wouldn't want to outsource my emotions or feelings. I believe we grow from these experiences and helps in shaping us as individuals. However, if I had to choose, I would have outsourced a couple of experiences. First when I found out I wasn't able to conceive and second, when I had my miscarriage. These were the most painful life experiences both physically and emotionally that I have faced. If "outsourcing" technology was real, I would have paid the money to not have had to feel it all. Again, the experiences I went through allowed me to grow, in my faith and as a person.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with Alicia and Anapaula's statement that we are feeling so many things about outsourcing. For example, social media brings us that if we can control or not, but I think it depends on that person if we want to do it or not.

I'm kind of on the  fence with outsourcing emotions. I don't see the issue if people wanted to and could afford to outsource their feelings. I say why not?  I don't think I could do that only because I could not give up that kind of control over myself. I would do it if I could give up control for just a bit.

Wow, this story has some depth to it. I am sure a thesis paper could be written on this subject.
I personally do not have any feelings that I would want to outsource. I am a firm believer that the pain we suffer through is what builds us into the people that we are. If we choose to start outsourcing bad experiencing then a person will never truly be able to appreciate the good times. Kind of like participation trophies, if everyone gets one than the true feeling of winning is never felt completely.

The morality and ethical standpoints are exten

I would not want to outsource my feelings. Life is an experience and my life is different than anyone else's. I agree that life experiences help you grow into who you are as a person. This is what makes individuals unique from one another. I agree with Anapaula that social media is used by many as a way of outsourcing their feelings and there have been consequences for this. People have lost their jobs for outsourcing their feelings on social media.

I agree with Alicia's statement about how your privacy could be lost by outsourcing our feelings. After thinking for a while about how most people ,specially during this time, outsource their feelings and the consequences they bring, I realized that the use of different social media such as Facebook can be an example for outsourcing our feelings for the experience, because it brings social loneliness and less moment-to-moment happiness.

I’m not sure if I would ever be willing to outsource any emotions or feelings. It seems like your privacy is lost. Also these experiences of pain, hurt and challenges help you grow as a person. Ultimately if I had to though I would probably outsource the pain that you have after labor. That recovery time that makes it difficult to move around and get in and out of a car or go up and down stairs.
