Is it good to be emotional? Or be more rational is better?

Question

Different people have different characters. Some are more emotional than others, like finding it harder to let the past go or foget something which hurt u before.
Recently, i realise that maybe be more rational instead of emotional is better? U won't be easily affected by your emotion and can do a thing faster, with clearer mindset. And u also feel sad for something for a long time. I'm a emotional and imaginative person since i was young; I'm wondering maybe now i should change myself?

My bf & me are exactly opposite - He is very rational while i'm emotional. Sometimes i find it hard to get in touch with his feelings

Answer 1

I'm have to same experience as u. Just that I'm a hybrid of emotions & logics. I'm consider a eccentric & insensitive guy among my peers.

However I think, I'm equip with what it takes to be impartial. Often we are blind by our emotions, and its through logical thinking that pull us back to life.

My stand will be...being rational to judge the level of emotions.

Answer 2

I'm a fan of being more rational myself. I grew up in a family that didn't show emotion, but that has become a problem as I've gotten older. Sometimes it's extremely difficult for me to communicate with sensitive people.

Answer 3

Its good to be bit emotional with ur frnds bcoz hey r u r trusted frnds so u must do the work in such a way dat they must not be hurt mentally or disuturbed by u but not too much emotional sometimes ull have to be rational also bcoz sometimes itll not be able to be practical .be positive and be practical in life.ENJOY UR LIFE AS IT IS SHORT .

Answer 4

I don't know if you could change, I've been trying to change from emotional to rational, and it is hard. Emotions rule my very soul.
ADDITION: My boyfriend is the same way.

Answer 5

I heard it once that life is a comedy for rational people and tragedy for emotional people. I prefer comedies.
