When I say "control", I mean that we don't have to take it out on the rest of the world. We may feel down, but we don't have to tell everyone, and we don't have to treat them badly. There is also the "as if" principle that I was taught in college. If someone is down, and acts "as if" they weren't, often this helps them to overcome the bad mood. Dwelling on it, and making everyone else miserable just because we are, doesn't help us overcome bad moods.Delirioushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01564398770468606675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27352415.post-22396428906570898902012-05-12T06:29:08.094-07:002012-05-12T06:29:08.094-07:00Yes, there is a difference between controlling moo...Yes, there is a difference between controlling moods that come from habit and bad choices, and chemically imbalanced moods that need a doctor's help. But uncontrolled bad moods certainly will lead to loneliness.Inklingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14173567199140492921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27352415.post-53113402527398662812012-05-12T06:13:11.945-07:002012-05-12T06:13:11.945-07:00That is quite true and yet being fully conscious o...That is quite true and yet being fully conscious of the possibility of loneliness, one really can't help one's moods. There are forces beyond one's conscious control and sometimes medication is the only thing that can help. But it is a very valid observation, one which notwithstanding mood swings, all of us should be mindful of.ocdwriterhttp://iamdumberthaneinstein.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27352415.post-78051151621206753392012-05-11T15:52:43.066-07:002012-05-11T15:52:43.066-07:00Moody people - enough!

Since when does being moody only suggest negativity? Squeaky wheels have much in common with empty vessels GM - and empty suits.

I can't see it here and every comment on my Blogger blog goes to spam from him.<br /><br />But, that aside, you indeed have hit on one of the more self-indulgent and self-destructive aspects of moods.

People who are REALLY sick have no energy to shout, roar or complain. Mammy had a saying 'Empty vessels make the most noise.' they are just looking for attention.<br /><br />Now I am off to sit quietly in a corner and do my knitting. ;)Grannymarhttp://grannymar.com/blognoreply@blogger.com
