Kristen Bell: "I Feel Like I'm Going To Explode" 

Nailed it on the head there.

+Carlo Von Sexron Nice username, dude! Also, Kristen Bell is an angel.

Substance D Yeah, it seems I'm perpetually trying to get the Dalle-Homme's and Bell-Shepard's to hang via Craig Ferguson in my mind. Form a bowling team or something.

+Carlo Von Sexron that would be a cool team. I wish Dax would get more roles- I think he's very underrated

+Carlo Von Sexron Depends on perspective, I guess. In my opinion, Empathy AND apathy are both at an all-time high. But I must say... Kristen Bell's POV on stuff is exactly what I go through. I can't help but put myself in other people's shoes. It's an instinct, I guess.

I used to feel that being this empathic can be a curse. It can be so draining emotionally and physically. Glad Im not the only one that feels this. I sometimes wish I can go back to those days where things were simple.

That makes sense! That is exactly what my therapist said to me : learn to have boundaries and not overflowing the glass.

Amen.

I'm a therapist too and I could have written this. Sometimes I feel like I've over-compensated and made my boundaries too strong.

@@Victoriomantic WHOA IS THAT A MOOD. I think I've done the exact same thing.

Absolutely...I had so many difficult things happen in my 20s and I realized that I had been so incredibly lucky to have "nothing" happen to me for almost 20 years.

***** yes exactly... you get it

me too and when people tell me you are so ungrateful i think you have no idea how grateful i am! i sob every day for these people it kills me that i can't do enough and the world is so dark now

Im that also or should i sayed, were once. Before people and the world fucked me over really bad, now i have like 15% love left in my heart, rest is ice.

robbas - nooooo. don't let em ruin you. we need people like you here on earth.

Yup

Same. Never made sense to me.

THANK YOU! I had started to think I was the only one and maybe I was being overly sensitive and too critical of others who don't show much empathy...This comment section is showing me I just really need different people in my life...

Because you start to carry the load on you and it can wear you done, its great to be empathetic but self care is good too. Like where I stay, I was having a conversation with my friend about how our country was going to become a desert because people were cutting down trees, rain wasn't plentiful that year, my friend told me do not worry honey, the earth finds its way always. She wasn't wrong because after that year we got so much rain that we started missing the sun. As an empathetic I have learnt that sometimes much as I see the pain people go through, I can not carry it. I have to be believe that whatever they are going through at that moment especially If am not able to lend a hand, they will get through it.

Same I literally can’t comprehend it

I dont get it either.

All her therapy must checks out. Good

As an empath growing up I thought everyone felt as deeply as I did. As an adult it was confusing and hurt even more to know that so many people don't feel that same way and aren't impacted or overwhelmed by disturbing or sad news the way I am.

Same here pals. Same

I think transitioning it into actions is the key. Just feeling deeply doesn't help a lot. Maybe if you try to be better and let empathy guide your actions, it can be wonderful.

You can listen to the full conversations on souncloud. ☺ idk if kristens interview is there yet.

Treading down Primrose path Ohh wow Thnx man....

+Purushottam Hari You can vent that frustration through acting.

Milena K

Heather Rae indeed!

Lol it's called being a water sign, she's a cancer.

@@urielbaeza1 that's not necessarily true... I'm an air sign & feel the same. 🙏🏽

Eduardo Santos well said!

Have you tried any relaxation techniques? Like yoga, focusing on your breathing, taking a hot shower or bath, etc.? I once had a therapist recommend that each morning I spend just 5 minutes imagining what I would want my day to be like, what would I like to have for lunch, what kinds of conversations would I like to have, what people would I like to spend time with, etc. It is AMAZING what a huge difference it makes, some people call it "setting your intentions", as you're literally deciding how you want your day to go, and reminding yourself of what that would look like and it will affect the decisions you make and your mood by starting your day off on the right foot. (So, maybe for you, imagining your ideal day would be you seeing yourself relaxed, having fun, enjoying yourself, and having random strangers do kind, loving things for other people... and maybe by thinking about that you're reminded of a heartwarming book or tv show you want to read or watch... and then maybe you start talking about that with someone and realize you have all these fun, positive things in common with that person, and maybe that leads to you setting up a time to go to the animal shelter together and volunteer to take the dogs for a walk... which maybe leads to meeting more people with positive attitudes that can show you examples of random acts of kindness, etc. etc. etc... It's like a domino effect.)

How are you now? :)

@@justthatgamergirl1 wow, thank you for asking, I had forgotten about this video and comment. And I am happy to tell you that I no longer feel this way, I have learned to accept things I cannot change and do the thing I can - be kind to people in my proximity

@@dute3272 omg that makes me so happy to hear! Glad you’re doing well, I will try and fall in your footsteps.
