#14 Why Do We Judge Our Emotions? Jealousy, Anger & What We “Shouldn’t” Feel

from Life Happens* · host Michelle R Williams and Nick Hirst

Are some emotions really “bad” — or are we just uncomfortable with them? Jealousy. Regret. Neediness. Boredom. Grief. Why are these feelings socially labelled as negative? And what happens when we suppress them instead of understanding them? In this episode of Life Happens, hosts Michelle R Williams and Nick Hirst explore emotional intelligence, vulnerability, and whether we’re too quick to judge our own inner world. They also reflect on what the Inside Out films reveal about emotional expression, and discuss when it’s healthy to share what we’re feeling — and when it might be harder than we admit. And here’s the link to the social intelligence test they talk about: https://socialintelligence.labinthewild.org/mite/ 🎧 Listen now and rethink the emotions you’ve been calling “negative.” Life Happens* — *but you can too!
