为什么我们会把负面情绪视为洪水猛兽呢？

Why do we view negative emotions as a raging beast?

很重要的原因是，我们的环境对负面情绪的认知太狭隘了，以至于我们从小接受的教育大多是把情绪一分为二：

A significant reason is that our environment has a narrow understanding of negative emotions, to the extent that most of the education we receive from a young age divides emotions into two parts:

正面情绪是好的，要努力成为一个乐观积极的人；

Positive emotions are good, and one should strive to become an optimistic and positive person;

负面情绪是坏的，绝对不能成为一个消极悲观、带有负能量的人。

Negative emotions are bad, and one should never become a negative, pessimistic, or energetic person.

因此，我们在面对这些负面情绪时，就无法开口表达真实的自己。

Therefore, when faced with these negative emotions, we are unable to express our true selves.

其实，负面情绪背后也有很多积极意义。比如：

In fact, there are many positive meanings behind negative emotions. For example:

悲伤，是在告诉你，你需要被理解；

Sadness is telling you that you need to be understood;

愤怒，是对自己的一种保护机制；

Anger is a protective mechanism for oneself;

恐惧，是在让你警惕潜在的威胁。

Fear is making you alert to potential threats.

每一种情绪，都有它的价值。

Every emotion has its value.

当你一味追求快乐的积极情绪，而否定了其他情绪的复杂性和合理性，也就无法成为一个真实的人。

When you blindly pursue positive emotions of happiness and deny the complexity and rationality of other emotions, you cannot become a real person.
