The Benefits of Blowing Your Top

The Benefits of Blowing Your Top
By BENEDICT CAREY

The longing for President Obama to vent some fury at oil executives or bankers may run far deeper than politics. Millions of people live or work with exasperatingly cool customers, who seem to be missing an emotional battery, or perhaps saving their feelings for a special occasion. People who — unlike the mining operators in the gulf — have a blowout preventer that works all too well.

Sang-froid has its place, especially during a crisis; but so does Sigmund Freud, who described the potential downside of suppressed passions. Those exhortations being directed at the president could be just as easily be turned on countless co-workers, spouses, friends (or oneself):

Lose it. Just once. See what happens.

“One reason we’re so attuned to others’ emotions is that, when it’s a real emotion, it tells us something important about what matters to that person,” said James J. Gross, a psychologist at Stanford University. When it’s suppressed or toned down, he added, “people think, damn it, you’re not like us, you don’t care about the same things we do.”

Rigorous study of what psychologists call emotion regulation is fairly new, and for obvious reasons has focused far more on untamed passions than on the domesticated variety. Runaway emotion defines many mental disorders, after all; restraint is typically associated with good mental health, from childhood through later life.

Yet social functioning is a different matter. Research in the past few years has found that people develop a variety of psychological tools to manage what they express in social situations, and those techniques often become subconscious, affecting interactions in unintended ways. The better that people understand their own patterns, the more likely they are to see why some emotionally charged interactions go awry — whether from too little control or, in the president’s case, perhaps too much.

Most scientists agree that a person’s range of possible emotional expression is a matter of inborn temperament. Growing up is, in one sense, a living education in how to manage that temperament so it elicits help from others and does not torment oneself.

“As we grow, the prefrontal areas of the brain develop, and we become more biologically able to control our impulses as well,” said Stefan G. Hofmann, a professor of psychology at Boston University.

Psychologists divide regulation strategies into two broad categories: pre-emptive, occurring before an emotion is fully felt; and responsive, coming afterward. The best known of the latter category, and one of the first learned, is simple suppression. First-graders will cover a smile with their hand when a classmate does something embarrassing; in time, many become far more adept, reflexively masking surprise, alarm, even rage with a poker face.

Suppression, while clearly valuable in some situations (no laughing at funerals, please), has social costs that are all too familiar to those who know its cold touch. In one 2003 Stanford study, researchers found that people instructed to wear a poker face while discussing a documentary about the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki made especially stressful conversation partners.

In another, published last year, psychologists followed 278 men and women as they entered college, giving questionnaires and conducting interviews. Those who scored highest on measures of emotion suppression had the hardest time making friends.

“An individual who responds to the college transition by becoming emotionally guarded in the first few days,” the authors wrote, will most likely miss opportunities for friendships.

Pre-emptive techniques can work in more subtle ways. One of these is simple diversion, reflexively focusing on the good and ignoring the bad — rereading the praise in an evaluation and ignoring or dismissing any criticism. A 2009 study led by Derek Isaacowitz of Brandeis University found that people over 55 were much more likely than those aged 25 and under to focus on positive images when in a bad mood — thereby buoying their spirits. The younger group was more likely to focus on negative images when feeling angry or down.

More striking, Dr. Isaacowitz found in another study that older people were twice as likely as younger ones to be “rapid regulators” — people whose mood bounced back quickly, sometimes within minutes, after ruminating on depressing memories.

“We have found in general that older people tend to regulate their emotions faster, and are not as motivated to explore negative information, to engage negative images, as younger people are,” Dr. Isaacowitz said. “And it makes some sense, that younger adults would explore the negative side of things, that they need to and maybe want to experience them — to experience life — as they develop their own strategies to regulate.”

Socially speaking, in short, the ability to shrug off feelings of disgust or outrage may suit an older group but strike younger people as inauthentic, even callous.

Finally, people may choose the emotions they feel far more often than they are aware — and those choices, too, can trip up social interactions. A series of recent experiments led by Maya Tamir, a psychologist at Hebrew University in Jerusalem and at Boston College, has found that people subconsciously prime themselves to feel emotions they believe will be most useful to them in an anticipated situation. The researchers call these instrumental emotions.

In one experiment, published last year, Dr. Tamir and Brett Q. Ford of Boston College prepared participants to play a video game in which they would be hunted down by monsters. Before playing, the study volunteers rated what type of music they wanted to hear and what kind of autobiographical memories they preferred to recall.

They were much more likely to want to recall fearful memories, and to prefer to listen to ominous music, than others who were expecting to play a video game in which they would build a theme park or solve a simple puzzle. They were, the authors argue, adopting an emotion that would serve them well in the game.

Dr. Tamir has found similar results in a variety of situations, showing for example that people role-playing as landlords will ramp up their anger before confronting a tenant about late rent.

Mr. Obama’s analytical composure probably comes so easily because it has repeatedly served him well, Dr. Tamir said.

“If staying calm and patient and confident is what has worked for you in crisis situations in the past,” she said, “then subconsciously it may become automatic. And the more automatic it becomes, the less of the actual anger, or panic, you feel.”

All of which makes it a treacherous task to express the real thing, at exactly the moment and pitch that people expect. For people like the president, said Dr. Gross of Stanford, it means throwing the switch on two psychological systems at once: the habitual, analytical one (power down) and the instrumental one (power up).

“If that process interrupts expression even a little, people notice,” Dr. Gross said. “We have an exceptional capacity to track whether the timing and morphology of an emotion is correct.”

The most socially skilled among us — those who project the emotions they intend, when they intend to — are not wedded to any one strategy, Dr. Hofmann argues. In a paper published last month with Todd Kashdan of George Mason University, he proposed that emotion researchers adopt a questionnaire to measure three components of regulation: concealing (i.e., suppression), adjusting (quickly calming anger, for instance) and tolerating (openly expressing emotion).

“These are each valuable strategies, in different situations,” Dr. Hofmann said. “The people who get into trouble socially, I believe, are the ones who are inflexible — who stick to just one.”

i have this thing that i cannot step forward or speak out when i should have.
a piece of me always holds me back and down. a piece of me that i want to become.
a piece of me that's very different from real me.

as if thats the only me

and it is the only me people see
i just can't reveal myself insecured and weak. i mostly can't admit it to myself either.

at least i regret it these days. i am getting older and.. at least trying to relax.. and dig myself out in this mess.

i believe in destiny which incorporates my regret, pain, and effort.

if it doesn't work this time, it was meant to be that way from the beginning.

i am going to go see this guy's concert in august.
excited :)

2010-05-31T11:41:00.003-04:00

i felt like it was a miracle that i left work at 6:30pm (I work from 8am in the morning) considering i got off after 10pm last friday and thursday....

i went jogging when i got home.
i feel so intimidated by my weight gain.....
no matter what i eat, what i do(which has been 'nothing') i haven't gained much weight until now
and it's kicking in now...why.. Why WHY WHYYYYYYY

maybe its 'cause i am sitting for more than 12hrs everyday........which i haven't done before.
and my mom feeds me too well. she forces/gives me a glass of home made 100% pure ginseng drink every morning...... and some other chinese medicine stuff... :S

whatever the reason is

i am really intimidated............... shit gahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

-

2010-05-30T12:40:00.003-04:00

today was blah.
i txted 3 friends
1 ignored
1 replied but she was sick
1 called too late

so i went shopping and spent money and felt powerful in this materialistic world
i actually felt 'happy' about my pay cheque today.
kind of weird that my emotions take this long to register this info and finally processed it today
the emotions were realized when the money was actually being spent (not that much...)

i couldn't fit into the size i wanted to fit into.(for pants)
so i went jogging after i came home.

-

2010-05-25T08:48:00.002-04:00

things are getting blah at work........

i dont like going to a hair place because

1. i dont like being helpless and powerless and having no control over what's going on because they never explain to me what the fuck they're doing on my hair.
2. i dont like having stupid rolls wraps on my hair and having to look at myself on the mirror for 2hrs. it's such an anti-feminist scene to be in.
3. i dont like having to sit still for 2-3hrs and sometimes IT'S NOT EVEN WORTH ITTTTTTTTTTT

GAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

but on a random occasion, all three parts get to fully register the fact.
and it's over

2010-05-10T11:09:00.003-04:00

i wonder if i will ever date someone just because i am too lonely to be alone...
if i will give up on reminiscing and chewing and swallowing the past over and over again like a piece of gum with no juice because i am too lonely to be alone

like other people do.

2010-05-06T10:48:00.002-04:00

i miss my slimmer body
i miss younger me

i don't miss my hair much though.
I wish time was like hair that always grows back

i've tried tried tried and
Ends are all splitted apart
i dont know what i want anymore...

Timing really matters in life not just about boys but everything else too.

I wanted it so bad but it didn't happen so i've moved on.
now it's here
what do i have to do

meditation would help hopefully
like last time

i just want to let go of everything
and sleep for good

joys of the window seat

2010-04-30T00:46:00.002-04:00

-----------------------------
WINDOW seat or aisle? Ever since I was a small child, there’s been only one answer. Sure, the aisle is a bit roomier, and it’s easier to get up to stretch your legs. But for me, it’s all about the views, especially those entrancing last few minutes before touchdown.

It’s how the details of the world are summoned again, how gracefully scale and shadings resolve into trees and fields and subdivisions. It’s the steady, lyrical motion of a silvery wing over a new place — an entirely unique geography and history that appear simply and perfectly beneath you.

As a teenager, I was so enamored with landings that I would choose soundtracks for them, cuing up my Walkman for that perfect song (rules on electronic devices were different back then, I swear).

i think i was being chased or something

when i woke up in the morning i felt like i didn't sleep at all..

it's so hard to deal with dad these days.
i understand his concerns and appreciate it but......
its just discouraging me more and more.

i don't want to do anything after listening to him.
i just want to go away from him.

i feel so bad feeling this way but cant help it.....

its weird how i don't talk to people i know who care for me
i only talk about things to people who don't give a damn.

Two Tongues

What you give or give out is the only thing that really counts
Will you stay here
Stay around and we'll both start working this out

But it's not just this
It's everything
You're so hard to reach and impossible to really read
When your talking with two tongues in your mouth
And I wish you'd quit this muttering beneath your breath
It's killing me
You've not said nothing yet

Who's talking now
Well I guess I'm starting to doubt
Are we lost here
Are you keeping count
Are you gonna just let me down

Well your heart's not in it
It's everywhere
It's plain to see you're still wondering what's underneath
You're so curious
It's two strikes and you're out
And I'm tiring of this attitude
How you fall to pieces like you do
I can't believe you're still talking with two tongues in your mouth
After all we've been around

Will you hear me out
You're the only thing that really counts

------------------------------------

The Swell Season had a concert in Seoul today.
I didn't go 'cause the ticket was too $$...
i was listening to them on my ipod today so that will do.

will there be next time?

i see you by mika

2010-03-25T12:20:00.002-04:00

I'm sitting across from you
I'm dreaming of the things I do
I don't speak, you don't know me at all

For fear of what you might do
I say nothing but stare at you
And I'm dreaming
I'm trippin' over you

Truth be told
My problems solved
You mean the world to me
But you'll never know
You could be cruel to me
While we're risking the way
That I see you
That I see you (3x)
That I see

Conversations
Not me at all
I'm hesitating
Only to fall
And I'm weighted,
I'm hating everyone

Could it be...you feel for me?
In any possible similarity
If it's so, how would I know?
You'll never know me at all...
But I see you
But I see you (4x)

I'm standing across from you
(But I see you)
I've dreamt alone, now the dreams won't do
(But I see you)
I'm standing across from you
(But I see you)
I've dreamt alone, now the dreams won't do
(But I see you)

Truth be told,
my problems solved
You mean the world to me
But you'll never know
You could be cruel to me
While we're risking the way
That I see you
But I see you (4x)

it wasn't like i tried to hold it until i got on the cab.
i wasn't even aware of that.

but tears came out as i was driven farther away from it
then i realize i was just building and holding everything in me.

i was thinking of holding it again but if i end up bursting out at home then mom would know

so i cried in the cab

i cried a bit more than when that female canadian skater whose mom had died performed her short program.

just a simple pendent that i can wear everyday
and it would be something meaningful to me
well, i'll give a meaning to it when i get it

ive realized.. i can't just be waiting for a guy to suddenly come up
and date long enough for him to want to buy me a tiffany necklace/ring.
even though i've seen friends who got those after dating a few months...
i verealized, its just not gonna happen to me soon enough.

anyways,

hmm
hopefully i get to visit the huge tiffany store thankfully not far from my house.

i looked at their website. they're getting cheap haha. silver ones are cheap and
i know they're not $4$ 'cause they list prices that means they're cheap. haha

they have many many necklaces and pendents..
but not that many.. after subtracting heart shaped and couply shaped ones
=_= WTF

i am soooooooooooooooo happy that banana peel worked on the stain on my mom's leather bag T_T omg.. miracle.

things are going ok at work. something good and lucky happened at work last week, hence, the atmosphere at work is better yay.

i've been window shopping online every night (since no time doing it offline=_=...)
even when there are some items i like i always end up just leaving the websites w/out making any purchases.. just like whats happening in my dating scene . . .

i've been just buying cheap earrings on the street.

ah bored

and f**king holiday season is coming.
i get so blah even when looking at huge holiday ornaments on department stores walls..
been trying to convince myself that f**king christmas isnt just for couples

ack.

i am reading this novel, Girlfriend in a Coma by David Coupland.
interesting storyline and easy read.
so sarcastic and dry sometimes.. reminding of myself hahahahaha

i just remembered, i havent' been able to find this pair of earrings that ive just bought!!..
:=( damn.
