In order to explore my critical question, I read through 5 articles (all included in my annotated bibliography), did some background fieldwork, ( A survey on the survey monkey app that I shared with my friends to fill out), and also did an interview to my boyfriend who represents the main reason on emotions in the psychological aspect of humans. He decided to seek therapy for his mental health after having a hard time expressing his emotions to me and other people.
In the end, I found out, some important things about emotions. One thing is that emotions is something very hard to control. One article talked about how humans express their emotions. This justifies ways how our brain can function to many different factors in psychology. Emotions are very hard to understand and control. But using helpful guided tips will for sure reduce the chances of depression and suicidal thoughts. I also learned that emotions can help you understand each other as humans. It is beneficial to learn for your own mental health and to improve your relationships. Why would we have a person who is filled with disruptive behavior? When you are young you are taught to say please and thank you. Having manners is very important, if you don't use these people will probably think you are just a rude and careless person.  I'm able to put myself into other people's shoes, mostly because we all live under different circumstances. Sometimes we have life easy and sometimes we don't. We all struggle, whether it's at school, work, or even at home. You are fulfilled with various emotions, sometimes even stress. And when you have stress you act out voraciously as to when your calmed down and not have a heavy plate on your shoulder.
I'm still curious about how we are able to process these emotions and become aware of when we started to grow up. What feelings have we started to change and have a thought in our head like "Oh why do I feel like this, this is new" ''What wrong with me" things like that can be able to be teachable as when your young and even up until now. No one is perfect at controlling your own behavior. That's why there are psychologists, therapists, anger management classes, and group sessions with other people going through the same thing you are. I find it very interesting, how emotions can really affect other people, especially their actions.

“Why is it important to handle your own emotions around society”

Emotions are very hard to understand, even though they sound simple. For example, if you have ever watched the Disney movie “Inside out” we know that each character contains a different emotion. And the way they express themselves can be impacted by other people. Such as the blue character, represents sadness, she is trying to make joy understand that it’s okay to be sad sometimes. Joy as the main protagonist character always wants to bring happiness, while sadness doesn’t want that and is always in the way of making Riley happy. On the other hand, we have Anger, Fear and Bing bong. Anger lashes out in most uncertain situations. And fear, is afraid of the slightest situations.

For example, back in 2020, my mom came home very furious as she just started working at her new job. She used to work in Walnut Creek, so her commute was very heavy on traffic, and she wanted a job that was flexible for her schedule, and transportation wise. Therefore, she got a job in pleasant hill. Even though we live in Pittsburg her commute was quite about the same but reduced to less traffic in the mornings. In the middle of the year, from when she first started, she had her co worker train her into the profession to have the right skill she needs to be prepared. But her coworker, had no idea to what she was doing, therefor even though she had a degree based on that job she had no clue on what to do to help my mom. Luckily my mom has been in the medical field for quite sometime so she trained herself unfortunately no one really did mention anything to her coworker on how she should do her job instead of my mother.

Even now, my mom has this issue where the coworker, shows up to work late, on top of that stays on her phone all day instead of helping, and leaves whenever she wants too, while my mom makes her paycheck, and the boss doesn’t speak up for her. He lets it happen, even though he sees what’s going on. Quite unfair right? Unfortunately, most jobs like these can happen any where anytime. Due to this scenario of her coworker always causing her trouble and is basically useless in the field. She comes homes stress, angry, and sad. Even though she feels like she is working so hard, no one really appreciates her. On her days off, they call her to fix someone else’s mistake just because they don’t know what to do. When she comes home on busy days, and on heavy traffic. She also has an empty stomach. Which means her emotions can be all over the place. One day she comes home, no work in her job got done, keep in mind that she needs to make appointments, clean to follow covid regulations and protocols, call insurance companies for new pair of glasses for different brands. And yet no work got done. She arrives, starts yelling at us, and getting mad over little things, while we were just confused as too why she was because we didn’t do nothing. My siblings and I just looked at each other, not knowing what she mad about. This shows how hard it is to handle your emotions around people even though you didn’t intentionally, mean to get mad. Our brain reacts a certain way that causes to have different emotions, especially around people. The emotions we feel each day can compel us to take action and influence decision making within our lives. We know that emotions are part of being human it helps us express how we feel to other people Our emotions can also communicate important information to us.

For this interview, I interviewed my boyfriend who considered seeking out for a therapist, for his mental health and improvisation.  It surprised me to see, how a few people don't realize that mental health is a huge impact to your daily activities. When my boyfriend decided to take on therapy sessions for his overall mental health, I was stunned because if we have learned in the gender unit of the past material, men have a hard time expressing themselves, especially if we can connect this to the article that we have read, "How boys become men". It really did amaze me how he took matters into his own hands and let this surpass, not just by him being a man but by him considering his overall, mental health. Here's what I learned from his responses: He has a hard time trusting people and navigating his feelings towards them as well. By him considering to take on therapy results, to not feeling weighed down by his own thoughts.
Another thing I found very interesting is that "Should kids be able to get taught how to behave as when they are young" his answer was, teaching a kid how to behave and control their emotions that don't mean they won't have the emotion hidden inside. but you can definitely teach them how to control their emotions at a young age. I think this is very true as kids have tantrums and many emotions when they are young in age. From a psychological aspect, most people want attention but then again, they could just be crying for help too because they have been suffering. This is also important, as to hiding your feelings which can cause depression and other thoughts. Taking care of this in a healthy matter will improve their over mental health.

Doing field world like a survey. I created a short survey for people and gave it to a bunch of my friends. Here are the results of this scenario. Out of the 9 responses that my friends answered in the survey 44% of them suggested that is always important to control your emotions, while the other 56% agreed that, it is usually (occasionally) important to control your emotions around society. For them to express their emotions, they find it quite difficult. 2 people (22%) said they are very open-minded to showing other people how they feel, and 1 person in the 11% quantity said that it is usually quite different and complicated for them to show how they feel, 4 people in the 44% said that sometimes, they struggle and sometimes they don't find it quite difficult to express their emotions, I'm guessing from their answer, they will only show feelings to people to whom they feel comfortable with, while the other half is keeping their feelings to themselves if they don't know the person too well. In terms of emotions, a lot of people tend to have a hard time controlling their feelings and their behavior. Each person is different and can cope with different mechanisms for them to express how they feel. 67% of people (6) said they have a good perspective, of knowing when and how to be able to handle emotions, while the other 3-33% mentioned that sometimes. they don't have a good stable control which is totally okay.

What stood out to me the most was that
most of my friends found it extremely or very important to be able to handle emotions within society. This reflects, how it is important to take time within ourselves and to manage our mental health. Overall, I was very happy, to see results in a positive way more than a negative way, by doing this survey I hope they got to know who they are and what they should take in the matter to develop positive mental paths in the future.

As far as the open-ended questions, their definitions of "Emotions" stood out in a way, it's very intrigued to see how many people think differently, in a good or negative factor. Most of the definitions, they wrote down had to do with either "habits" or "mood". Both or a good idea, mostly because our habits, combine a latter of emotions, which lead to getting mixed up. In terms of, How they benefit the amount of time we take into ourselves to have better mental health suggested, "Therapy and social media", " Healthier wellbeing", and self-control. All these are good suggestions to help improve your mental health for better relationships.
