Emotions

"“It’s anxiety and this fear of being able to step out and try things and being able to fail,” said Dr. Gabriel Cline, a psychologist in Missouri who participated in the survey and agreed to be interviewed. “Kids are more and more isolated. They are super connected via phones, but it’s still isolating. They are afraid of social judgment from their peers — whether it’s real or imagined — and they retreat.” Cline said he’s seen a spike in juvenile cases of anxiety and depression and only expects the cases of depression to grow in coming years. “When you have that anxiety and if it doesn’t get better, then they become hopeless and it turns into depression,” said Cline, who noted that he does see improvements when kids receive treatment."

"Worry is interest paid on trouble before it falls due."

"Most men call fretting a minor fault, a foible, and not a vice. There is no vice except drunkenness which can so utterly destroy the peace, the happiness of a home."

"I have no cares, O blessed Will! For all my cares are Thine; I live in triumph, Lord, for Thou Hast made Thy triumph mine."

"Why art thou troubled and anxious about many things? One thing is needful — to love Him and to sit attentively at His feet."

"I met a brother who, describing a friend of his, said he was like a man who had dropped a bottle, and broken it, and put all the pieces in his bosom, where they were cutting him perpetually."

"He who climbs above the cares of this world, and turns his face to his God, has found the sunny side of life. The world's side of the hill is chill and freezing to a spiritual mind; but the Lord's presence gives a warmth of joy which turns winter into summer."

"He that taketh his own cares upon himself loads himself in vain with an uneasy burden. I will cast all my cares on God; He hath bidden me; they cannot burden Him."

"Despatch necessities; life hath a load Which must be carried on — and safely may; Yet keep these cares without thee; let the heart Be God's alone; and choose the better part."

"Anxious care rests upon a basis of heathen worldly-mindedness and of heathen misunderstanding of the character of God."

"When someone goes to the doctor and says, "I hear a voice in my head," he or she will most likely be sent to a psychiatrist. The fact is that, in a very similar way, virtually everyone hears a voice, or several voices, in their head all the time: the involuntary thought processes that you don't realize you have the power to stop... The voice comments, speculates, judges, compares, complains, likes, dislikes, and so on. The voice isn't necessarily relevant to the situation you find yourself in at the time; it may be reviving the recent or distant past or rehearsing or imagining possible future situations. Here it often imagines things going wrong and negative outcomes; this is called worry. p. 16 ...When you listen to a thought, you are aware not only of the thought but also of yourself as the witness of the thought. A new dimension of consciousness has come in. p. 17"

"“You would advise us not to worry?” “Oh, worry by all means,” said Windlow. “By all means. Yes. It sharpens the wits. A good worry does wonders for the defensive capabilities of the brain. However, I should not advise you to do without sleep.”"

"If you can solve your problem, then what is the need of worrying? If you cannot solve it, then what is the use of worrying?"

"When this flood blocks the road I am worried more by my soil getting washed, than by getting late to reach my destination."

"It’s a jungle out there Poison in the very air we breathe Do you know what’s in the water that you drink? Well I do, and it’s amazing People think I’m crazy, ’cause I worry all the time If you paid attention, you’d be worried too You better pay attention Or this world we love so much might just kill you I could be wrong now, but I don’t think so!"

"What? Me worry?"

"Therefore do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ 31 For after all these things the Gentiles seek. For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things.32 But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. 33 Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble. 34"

"So why do you worry about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin; 28 and yet I say to you that even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. 29 Now if God so clothes the grass of the field... will He not much more clothe you, O you of little faith?"

"Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink; nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing? 25 Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? 26 Which of you by worrying can add one cubit to his stature?"

"“You're worried, aren't you?” he said. “Again, you have chosen a word not large enough to cover more than the barest fraction of the situation.”"

"What, Me Worry?"

"My mistake has too often been that of too much haste. But it is not the people’s way to hurry, nor is it God’s way either. Hurry means worry, and worry effectually drives the peace of God from the heart."

"Don't worry, be happy!"

"What's the use of worrying?It never was worth while,So, pack up your troubles in your old kit-bag,And smile, smile, smile."

"Care clouds Judgement."

"However nervous, depressed, and despairing may be the tone of any one, the Lord leaves. him no excuse for fretting; for there is enough in God's promise to overbalance all these natural difficulties. In the measure in which the Christian enjoys his privileges, rises above the things that are seen, hides himself in the refuge provided for him, will he be able to voice the confession of Paul, and say, "None of these things move me.""

"Some people think that friendliness is a sign of weakness, when in reality it is a sign of strength."

"I am the son And the heir Of a shyness that is criminally vulgar"

"Shyness is just egotism out of its depth."

"The shy man does have some slight revenge upon society for the torture it inflicts upon him. He is able, to a certain extent, to communicate his misery. He frightens other people as much as they frighten him. He acts like a damper upon the whole room, and the most jovial spirits become, in his presence, depressed and nervous."

"He's not an asshole, he's just shy. I think you have shy/asshole confusion, my friend."

"Shyness is nice, and Shyness can stop you From doing all the things in life You'd like to."

"At the time, I believed that shyness was very important, but now I know that shyness is one of the evils one must try to overcome, that in reality to be shy doesn't matter—it is like so many other things to which one gives an exaggerated importance."

"He was not handsome, and his manners required intimacy to make them pleasing. He was too diffident to do justice to himself; but when his natural shyness was overcome, his behaviour gave every indication of an open, affectionate heart."

"Narrated 'Aisha: I said, "O Allah's Apostle! A virgin feels shy." He said, "Her consent is (expressed by) her silence.""

"Shyness is shit. It isn’t cute or feminine or appealing. It’s torment, and it’s shit."

"My people were once around me like the sands of the shore—many—many. They have all passed away. They have died like the grass. They have gone to the mountains. I do not complain; the antelope falls with the arrow. I had a son. I loved him. When the palefaces came he went away. I do not know where he is. I am a Christian Indian; I am all that is left of my people. I am alone."

"Insults have broken my heart and left me weak, I looked for sympathy but there was none; I found no one to comfort me."

"Whatever is in the heavens and the earth declares the glory of Allah, and He is the Mighty, the Wise. His is the kingdom of the heavens and the earth. He gives life and causes death; and He is Possessor of power over all things. He is the First and the Last and the Manifest and the Hidden, and He is Knower of all things. He it is Who created the heavens and the earth in six periods, and He is established on the Throne of Power. He knows that which goes down into the earth and that which comes forth out of it, and that which comes down from heaven and that which goes up to it. And He is with you wherever you are. And Allah is Seer of what you do. His is the kingdom of the heavens and the earth; and to Allah are (all) affairs returned. He causes the night to pass into the day, and causes the day to pass into the night. And He is Knower of what is in the hearts."

"The loneliest moment in life is when you have just experienced the ultimate, and it has let you down."

"Such a lonely day / And it's mine / The most loneliest day of my life."

"We suffer a lot in our society from loneliness. So much of our life is an attempt to not be lonely: 'Let's talk to each other; let's do things together so we won't be lonely.' And yet inevitably, we are really alone in these human forms. We can pretend; we can entertain each other; but that's about the best we can do. When it comes to the actual experience of life, we're very much alone; and to expect anyone else to take away our loneliness is asking too much."

"A man with no friends, only live for revenge Live his life off the henge, cut, through a thousand men Blade swing with the force of a cyclone Cut crystal and bone, pistol and chrome Stand in my path, you're a dead man I cut the whole world in half for the Number One headband Quest of a lonely soul, on a lonely road"

"Loneliness has followed me my whole life. Everywhere. In bars, cars, sidewalks, stores. Everywhere. There's no escape. I'm God's lonely man."

"Well I'm the only one here."

"From now on, everything in life will appear blurry to me. What’s the point of wiping my glasses when my vision has already left me?"

"I tell ya a guy gets too lonely an' he gets sick."

"The road kept coming, and continued going somewhere alone."

"Never does the soul feel so far from human life as when a man finds himself alone in the vistas of the moon, either in the streets of a sleeping city, the avenues of the woods, or by the border of the sea. Earth, swayed perhaps by her powerful satellite, withdraws her sympathy from him, and he wanders in a white void, wondering if he was born to be thus annulled."

"Solitude is the profoundest fact of the human condition. Man is the only being who knows he is alone."
