Have you ever played that game in drama? It’s definitely a favourite of mine. I never win. I always blush and stutter and end up grinning like a fool. I suppose I just like the idea of having someone love me. Even if it is just a game.
Today I got to thinking about moods and how they affect relationships. Generally, if two people are happy, the relationship goes well. If they’re both upset, it may not be going as well. What about if one person is happy, and the other is upset?
Most people thrive off the reactions of the people around them. Being a performer, since a young age (I started dancing at age 3), I need praise from the people around me to survive. If I don’t get it, I get pulled into a dark void of a mood, and it’s incredibly difficult to snap me out of it, even if someone I love dearly is right there telling me how wonderful I am (the mood often makes me doubt it).
Mood plays such an important part in our lives. It is important to be emotional. It’s is important to feel.
Can a relationship break up from something as silly as one person that just can’t ever seem to see the sunny side?
Yes. I wouldn’t want to date a grumpy fucker.
Yeah – I had two close friends that were in a relationship, and the girl got so tired of the guy’s constant emo moods. There has to be happiness more than sadness!
We used to play that game in English class. I was pretty good unless the person did something crazy with their eyebrows :P
I love you baby, but I just can’t smile!
That’s tough. I think the relationship might not work out just because if someone is a more positive person and someone is a more negative person, they just aren’t synced up right together. They’re not a good match.
When I’m not getting the positive feedback I feel like I’m needing, I just try to work harder to blow people away so they have no choice but to notice me and react. It can be hard, but very rewarding.
Yup yup yup. I get into emo moods when I’m sad etc and I know it makes the guy really tired. But I get over such things fast enough and they’re not too often. :P However when it comes to people who think of suicide then um… yeah…
I broke up with my ex because he was constantly emoing it up and when worse, he was drinking heavily to mask the sadness. It upset me that he thought I couldn’t help and the alcohol was all that made it better so I told him to get lost.
Someone’s attitude pretty much affects everything. Including the way that they see and treat others, which includes their bf/gf. So, yeah if one part of a realationship is always under the weather, the relationship might fail.
Yes definitely. When one person is in a bad mood, it doesn’t feel like an equal relationship. Sooner or later, that person’s mood will move like a dark storm cloud over the s/o.
My bf and I had this discussion yesterday lol.
Yes. Definitely. I was a grumpy, moodswing-bearing twit when I was in my last relationship, and we ended up just breaking things off because he was too much of a bouncy person to handle it. *sigh* Oh well.
I’ve never played that game before, sounds interesting though!
Definitely. I don’t mind a bit of sadness every now and then. Everyone goes through that. Even depression I can cope with. But someone who’s just so darn dismal the whole time… that’s impossible to put up with.
I need somebody to understand my sense of humour because it’ll be directed at them and their expense a lot.
Oh sure, I wouldn’t want to date a guy who never smiles. I notice in my relationship, when the bubby is in a bad mood or if he just is negative, it affects me in a negative way.
I always try to have a little smile on my face when I walk through Munich (not in a psycho way) and let my positive aura out :P
Oh, definitely. Everyone who knows me knows how upbeat I constantly am – there is no way I could have a healthy, happy relationship with someone who was constantly in an emo, “woe is me, life sucks” kind of mood. I’d constantly feel like their cheerleader. :P
I personally don’t like playing this game because I always end up laughing or making the other person cry. However, I love watching little kids play this, it’s so innocent and cute!
