GIRLS AND EMOTIONS

Since the beginning of time, men have had us figured out. They know how to manipulate us, lie to us, cheat on us, hurt us, use us, play with our minds and tear out our hearts. Even worse is their ability to keep us around, even after they’ve done all of those terrible things! How did they get so good at it? They know our weakness: our emotions...

Many men are too stupid to even realize they’re doing this. We make it that easy for them! However, some men do know what they’re doing.

We don’t even realize it, but our emotions have made us easy targets. Our emotions have caused us to do things we would never do.

Have you ever looked back at one of your previous relationships and wondered, “What the hell was I thinking?” Of course you have. We’ve all been down that road. The thing to realize is that you weren’t thinking at all. You were acting on emotions.

The only way you’re going to get ahead of the game is to get a grip on your feelings. You have to know who’s boss. Is it your emotions or your brain? It should be an easy choice, your brain, of course! But it’s not easy. We are women, hard-wired to think with our hearts.

Your man just hurt you. Again. You know he’s no good and you should just break up with him and move on. However, you can’t stop thinking about him. You grovel, you cry, you think, think, think and then think some more.

You want to call him, send him a text, or talk to his friends. You may even allow him a chance to beg for forgiveness or give him an opportunity to win you back; even when you know he’s not good for you.

We only do these irrational actions so our emotional side can “feel better.” We give in to our emotions in order to feel better in the short term, but we end up hurting even more over the long term. Even the strongest women have made stupid decisions based on their inability to control their emotions.

We’ve all taken back men when we knew we shouldn’t have. We’re only trying to make ourselves feel better, so we end up making stupid decisions based on hurt feelings.

This is why so many of us take the loser back, repeatedly. It’s just our emotional, feminine, loving side controlling our brains. That’s why you can’t think or act logically when it comes to leaving a man that you love but you know is no good for you.

It’s easy to notice when this is happening because you know deep in your heart that you’re making a bad decision. You know when you’re taking too much shit from a man.

It’s also easy to recognize when this is happening because your friends and family are telling you to leave him alone, but you’re not listening! It’s easy to recognize when the emotions are making you a fool. The hard part is once you recognize it, you have to control it.
