Have you ever put dry ice in a bottle?
你试过将干冰放进瓶子里吗?
As the carbon dioxide turns into gas the bottle gradually expands with pressure until with a sudden pop, the bottle explodes.
随着二氧化碳变为气体,瓶子会因压力逐渐膨胀,直到砰的一声,瓶子爆炸。
And bottling dry ice is exactly like bottling up your emotions.
将干冰放进瓶子里就像是压抑自己的情绪。
There is a time limit before the metaphorical bottle explodes, and it can be hard to release the pressure.
好比瓶子的爆炸是有一个时间节点的,很难释放压力。
The first step in properly processing your emotions is to recognize that you’re closing yourself off from them.
正确处理情绪的第一步就是承认自己与情绪隔绝。
So here are six signs you’re bottling up your emotions.
以下的6个迹象表明你在压抑情绪。
One, you rarely yell or cry, but you can erupt over small issues.
一 你很少大喊哭泣,但会因为小事而爆发。
Let’s say your partner drops a cup and breaks it while washing the dishes,
比如:你的伴侣洗碗的时候,摔碎了一个杯子,
and you suddenly felt your blood boiling with this overwhelming anger.
你突然感到热血沸腾,异常愤怒。
Your outburst over this relatively minor issue can be a sign of deeper more suppressed troubles in your relationship or personal life.
你在这件小事上情绪爆发,说明在这段关系或人生中,存在更加深层压抑的问题。
答案和解析来啦:
In a study by the University of Texas, researchers had one group of subjects watch horrifyingly disgusting movie scenes while suppressing any reaction or emotion they felt.
德克萨斯大学的一项研究中,研究员让一组测试者在压抑所有反应和情绪的情况下,观看极其恶心的电影场景。-
Afterwards, the first group was significantly more aggressive than the second group of subjects who were allowed to express themselves.
结果是,第一组测试者和允许表达自我的第二组测试者相比,明显更具有攻击性。
