When I'm being consumed in emotion, I need people. Even if it's good feelings to begin with, they will turn ugly if I think too much. I also like dancing them out, that's the best. :)

It's hard to explain it to other people though. I thought everyone felt like that, but they tell me they don't. "Don't you have this feeling inside you all the time, and it's like you're going to explode, and if you don't let it out it just makes you depressed?" "What?"

Mmm. I enjoy it when that happens. It reminds me that I am alive.

Yes! Actually...
Of course I don't like to be sad or depressed, but it always has a sense of meaning to me. I know that when I'll get out of that mood, I'll be able of much more than before. I'd rather have great ups and downs than a stable-and-slightly-comfortable-but-not-that-exciting state all the time.
After my first girlfriend broke up with me (I'm 17) I was really quite a mess (didn't know the feeling), but I sensed the value of it straight away. Didn't help me really at that moment though, but afterwards those are things I would never want to miss. It makes me confident that I can handle those things and I actually live life more intense that way, not being afraid.

And you'll enjoy the good things that way!

Yeah, people to talk to help a lot, mostly to get your own mind sorted out rather than expecting others to do so.

I don't have that problem with logic vs. emotions, I know people who do though.
I expect every emotion is needed. You feel it, so it's there for some kind of reason... It seems to me the way to learn is to follow your emotions. If an emotion is not effective or not positive in any way, it'll go away after a while until you get the right state of mind. That's my experience....
You'll know when you're going to do something stupid... it probably won't FEEL good to do it as soon as you know it.

I don't know if this is relevant...well it kind of is...
But right when I got to a point in my life when I thought I was emotionless (I actually thought I was INTJ for a while there), an ENFP enters my life and brings out the emotions in me I forgot I had. I don't know if I should love him or hate him for it but now I understand (on some level) how you guys must feel. I have like a million emotions all at once, good and bad, I try to keep myself busy so I don't think about it too much, so I put music on and came on here but I end up in the ENFP forums because I can't stop thinking about him (he can't be with me at the moment, complicated..) so now I'm stuck with these feelings and can't go back to being "a robot" again....do i love it or do i hate it? no idea...but it makes me feel alive that's for sure. haha. aaaaaaahhhhhh i want to screammmm!!!!!!!!!!!

I love my feelings!!!! All of them!!! Especially the good ones!!! But even the negative emotions, I obsess about in my head and get all wound up. And my logical side (yes i do have a bit of one) can see what's happening, but I know that it will pass (they always pass). So I just let them ride around like a tornado. I love it!!

And because it's all inside, no one even knows it's happening. It's my own little world. What I don't do so much anymore is act on those strong emotions. I've learned just to feel them.

And then because I'm an ENFP I tell every one about it afterwards with heaps of emotion and feeling :) And they look exhausted, but they are my friends and loved ones, so they know the drill, and love me for it. Especially my ISTJ, he is absolutely awesome at letting me feel and then vent and processes verbally!!! And because I'm an extrovert I get all my energy from this to deal with the next lot of feelings that come my way!!!

Lol - I wouldn't trade it for anything!!!
