confused as to what to do with my sad life

regarding OP's question, I don't think they can be 'more' or 'less' real, they either are real or not. and I think it has been shown by science that we can observer thoughts and emotions, so yes, they are real, at least from some point of view.

Hey /lit/terbugs: OP isn't asking you how you're feeling.

Interesting question, OP. What do you think?

>> No.4445072

Feelings form in a more basic part of your brain than thoughts, that way your body feels they are more urgent when they change/happen. They are residue of our primal selves.

>are feelings more real than thoughts?

Explain

A feeling or emotion is strogner than somone thinking

If I were to think about someones feelings after getting kicked in the ass it'd be totally different from me thinking what ti feels like for them

should one put more focus on their feelings than on their thoughts? Is it more important to be in touch with ones feelings than with one's thoughts?

You can't escape your feelings. Most of the time you can escape your thoughts by simple rationalizations.

Feeling > thinking.

well i've always been the opposite until last night I realized that I think feelings are more real than thoughts. So now I think I need to understand feelings better. but how?

>> No.4445193

>>4445182
Thoughts are merely idioms of the mind but can create feelings

Feelings are genuine to yourself and thus you should say put more focus onto your feelings that mere thoughts until these thoughts start to take advantage of your feelings, evolving into feelings themselves

>> No.4445207

They are both real. In what way you think they are comparable?
If you think that thinking is good but feeling is a greater value than thinking, then feeling>thinking and vice versa.
