How do you become happy again?

Don't think about sad things, like sad songs, movies, tv shows, books, or moments that happened in your life. Think about happy things that make you feel good inside. Being happy is something everyone wants because sadness is like a dagger covered with pain that stabs you. You feel it and are hurt by it.....terribly.

Therefore, do things that keep you happy. Watch funny movies or tv shows, or read a book that makes you laugh, listen to music that cracks you up, hang out with your friends and be goofy all day. Do anything that you know will make you happy for sure. : )

Both "emo" and "prep" are social labels that can be limiting and come with stereotypes.

Embracing diversity and understanding that everyone is unique is crucial in building a more inclusive and understanding society.

Should you go EMO for the next year of school?

Your style choices should reflect your personal preferences and not be dictated solely by trends or labels. It's important to feel comfortable and confident in how you present yourself, so choose a style that resonates with you rather than conforming to a specific subculture. Embrace what makes you unique and express yourself authentically.

How do you know if you're becoming emo?

emo = tormented soul A lot of the times emos are known for depression and sadness. But that's not true for all of them. Some have fun and go around with others, but they still have depression on the inside. Someone will start to know if they are emo by listening to the music. If the music has turned into hardcore bands that started in the 1980s and has mutated into describing angst-filled bands. There are a lot of emotions involved. Moody/attitudes will happen. They will not feel understood. Some express themselves in poetry, music, and/or art. A lot of true emo people tend to be creative while expressing their lives and feelings. Hair styles. Not just hair styles, but everything above. (You aren't considered emo just because of your hair) Emo girls and guys usually wear their hair swept to one side. It is usually longer in front and shorter in back. But it doesn't have to be short. There are many creative, true emo people who have their own unique styles. Having a unique style is what makes up most of the emo in that person. Make-up. If your a guy, usually there is make-up involved. If you check the eye-lids who yourself or the person you assume to be emo, they will most likely have eyeliner on. Girls usually wear it more thicker than guys. But also, just like hair, emo make-up is done in a very unique, special way that fits the person's personality. NOT a true sign. Spreading around the media sources are "facts" that emo kids cut themselves. NOT TRUE! Most emo kids do not cut themselves. Some do. Just because a person cuts themselves don't not consider them a true emo. Clothing styles. Usually they are known to wear vests, skinny jeans, big plastic, non-expensive bead-like jewelry. Emo people are not always wearing black. In fact, most emo kids have multiple different colors combined in their outfits. Again, their styles will be unique and will reflect their personalities. This may help but I'm not totally sure. If you or someone you know does become emo, I would strongly recommend NOT cutting yourself. It ruins your body and it doesn't look pretty. My friend has cut herself in many places and know her self esteem is very low! She doesn't weat bathing suits, and she will usually wear a jacket/sweatshirt no matter how warm it is. I would definitely stay away from cutting.

Are emo guys better kissers than regular guys?

Kissing ability is not determined by someone's style or music preferences. It ultimately comes down to personal chemistry, technique, and compatibility with your partner. The key is to communicate openly with your partner and practice good hygiene to enhance the kissing experience.

What is the reason to emo kids cut themselves?

  • When a regular person starts to hang around different groups and is exposed to different things at the adolescent age, groups like "emos" tend to develop. This many result in bad influences. They may begin to hang around other "emos," in search of ways to solve their problems. Most "emos" do not concieve in isolation the idea to cut themselves to relieve pain, it is passed on through the cult. Experimenting with different ways to cure their emotional instability, adolescents begin to try new things, whoch may ultimately result in cutting. The final results of this action are mixed, both from the feeling that now, they are, in a way, in control over their own pain, another is that they are punnishing themselves, giving themselves up to suffering because they see themselves unfit to live without it. Probably one of the most important ones, if you ask an "emo" person WHY they cut, they will usually be at a loss for words except the vague statement that it makes them feel better. This is usually because when they cut, their body releases lots of complex hormones and chemical enzymes, giving them a sensation of feeling good, though the consequential pain certainly does not. This combination of the body's functions and the psychological need to punish themselves physically, "emos" are able to cope with their insecurities on their own.
  • I have dated three emo guys and each one of them cuts themselves on a daily bases. They said they do it to get rid of all emotional pain in their life. Also, one of the guys told me that he also cuts himself because it lets him know that he is alive.
  • I am an Emo. You don't need to cut yourself to be emo or vice-versa. Some people tend to stereotype the whole group just because they know some emos who cut themselves, To put it simply, not all emos are cutters.
  • I am an emo. I do not cut myself. Not all emos cut themselves. Some do it because they think it makes them look cool. Others do it because they are lonely and sad.
  • I used to cut myself. I no longer do that. Nowadays, I understand that the pain from cutting my arm only distracted me from the pain in my heart. So, for me, that was the point of cutting myself.... to distract from a pain that hurt more that the cutting.
  • I too am an emo. Some emos do it for attention...others do it because we have real problems and no one to talk to. The word emo stands for emotional problems. The word emo is abbreviation of emotional.
  • I am emo so I will add my opinion: Not all emos cut themselves. In addition, many people who cut themselves are not emo. Some people who cut themselves then wear short sleeves, and practically wave their arms to get attention or help. Other people who cut themselves hide it from others. Mostly, people do it to make them feel better. It can be part of an inferiority complex. Some self-harmers do not like themselves. Some people cut themselves because they feel that they are not as good as everyone else is. Other people cut themselves because they are different from people and feel the odd one out in society. They might hate themselves for being different. Whatever the type of person (emo or not emo), people cut themselves to feel better. I don't care about what people say, but I can tell you straight that it helps.
  • To put it simply: Cutting yourself causes your body to release endorphins. These hormones are designed to dull pain, and consequently make you feel good, in an ironic sort of way.
  • Depressed people cut themselves (only some people, sometimes) because when you cut yourself it releases hormones that make you feel better. If people are cutting themselves just so they can say they are emo, they are most likely doing it for different reasons (to fit into a certain group of people, etc....).

Do emos cry?

Like any other person, emos are capable of experiencing and expressing their emotions, including crying. Emos may be more in tune with their emotions and not afraid to show vulnerability, so they may be more open about crying compared to others. It's important to remember that emotions and how they are expressed can vary from person to person, regardless of their perceived subculture or identity.

I have a friend that claims to be emo but i do not think she really is considering there are never any cuts on her wrists but i don't want her to hurt herself what should i do?

Does she actually discuss hurting herself, even if there are not noticeable wounds? If she talks about cutting, does she claim it makes her feel less stress? Is she unnaturally depressed, has stopped taking an interest in things she previously enjoyed? If so, then that is an issue; something that can be greatly assisted by your support, but also where she does need outside intervention (from her family, mental health professionals). If she does any of the above, then you should encourage her to talk to her family about it, or talk to them if she refuses to do so; it would be supporting and assisting her, even if she becomes angry at you for doing it. However, merely claiming to be 'emo' can mean she is just a fan of that style of music, or fashion, or she enjoys emo-style writings. She may simply want to be seen as 'emo' to attract a certain type of person. It doesn't necessarily mean she is (unnaturally) depressed or that she cuts herself, unless she has behaviors that the previous paragraph mentioned. Emo is as much a societal trend as 'Goth' is. I'd likely be classified as a metalhead but I don't eviscerate virgins, worship Baphomet or torch churches by the full moon. Your friend simply may have different interests than you.

You carved your boyfriends name into your arm are you emo?

If you pass the emo quiz are you seriously emo or is it because you just say all of the right things even tho ur not confusing huh?

Uhmm...If you believe in stereotypes then you shouldn't need a quiz to tell you what you are. Quizzes stereotypical like "are you emo, punk, prep, jock, poser, nerd, ganster, indie, goth, etc." are really easy to get "Yes you are very emo" or something. Plus, if you consider yourself emo then you do. If you don't then why take the quiz? its really not that hard to figure. If your a mix of stereotypes then your an indie/ individual.

Why do people think that emo kids cut themselves because they dont trust me.?

Some people may mistakenly believe that individuals who identify as emo cut themselves due to a lack of trust.

It is important to approach such topics with empathy, understanding, and support rather than judgment or assumptions.

'Emo' phenomenon why choose the depressed route?

you don't choose to go that way. it juss happens. emo people are emo because something tragic happened in their life, ex: a relative dead that they were very close to, they lost their home, they are/were abused. many things can turn a person emo. the reason emo people cut their wrists is because they feel nothing anymore and by cutting their wrists they finally feel an something, pain and if that's all they can get then that's fine with them. if that's not how someone you know who is 'emo' then they are juss a posur. and not a true emo kid.

Answer:

Well not exactly ^_^ Many people choose to be emo because some people follow the trends and others just have something depressing going on in there life. I find most 'emos' and 'scenes' to be posers. I go by being myself. And they choose being depressed because that what makes them 'emo' or whatever they feel like they have pain in there life. I admit I was 'emo' at 13 (I just turned 15) and I was for no reason because the guy I liked, excuse me loved wanted someone else besides me and I felt dead inside and I wanted to run away and bleed. (Yea dark). But the point being is some choose some don't.
