Why is the heart and mind always in conflict with eachother? Makes it hard to even know what you truly feel.

The way I see it is: One is trying to protect you with rational thinking. The other is basing on a need with desire (this may even potentially override or ignore any precautions if there's any). I compare my need for x vs y with my thinking to help rationalize the feeling, weighing the pros and cons and then decide if the risk is worth taking/item worth having.

This 100% and also that's a great way of approaching those kinds of feelings

I feel exposed hahahha

Because after a tumultuous early relationship, the heart and mind are now separated. The heart got the body, the mind got the head. Or, more realistically, emotions are inherently irrational responses while the mind thinks it is rational. Thus, conflict!

Technically it's your mind in conflict with itself...your heart just pumps blood...

In my experience my gut knows better, it’s better to try than to live with regret wondering what could have been

I think expectations beget conflict. Those come with all sorts of emotional attachments.

I have learned to let my heart guide me but brain to take the decisions. Also never to take important decisions on temporal feelings/events or out of fear and finally trust my instincts. Life it's lot better and easier for me after those lessons.

What's crazy about this post is that technically your heart has no say in the matter. It's your brain weighing pros vs cons. Rational vs irrational. It's you screaming at yourself in your head about whatever topic your thinking about. We just simply prioritize relationships as a much higher level than getting dessert at a restaurant even though we have a potentially similar battle in our domes over whether we need that piece of cheesecake or not.

Because loving someone requires you to be vulnerable to them. And that makes it a risk. Your brain doesn't like taking risks, but your heart doesn't care about risk.

Imma need an example for this one. Do you lack clarity, or certainty of purpose? The reason or emotion is not important, so long as you take the correct course of action.

If 🧠 and ❤️ conflict each other, listen to your gut. Maybe it's hungry 🤔

Try getting really high. You can trick your head.

I know that you're being metaphorical, but I still want to note that every part of our sentience originates in the brain. Emotions, thoughts, impulses, ideas, dreams, rationality, logic, etc... All the heart does is keep you alive, like all the other beasts on this planet. Just pumping blood. It has nothing to do with emotions. Now that we're past the metaphorical versus physical aspect of this question, I should say that emotion and logic don't necessarily have to be at war with each other. They can work together to produce the best quality of life, if you learn to regulate both so neither takes full control of your life. The way I see it, living fully as your emotions would have you live would make you a wildly destructive sort of lunatic, while living only through logical planning would make you more like a machine than a living being. Living in such a restrictive manner that emotion never has an outlet and all that matters is what you have planned to best benefit yourself is a lifestyle that would harm you, in the end. Emotion isn't simply about letting others in, after all, contrary to popular belief. It's about self-expression of each feeling that takes hold of you, whether it be grief or anger or happiness. And, of course, locking up your emotion in a cage would never allow you to form the meaningful sort of relationships you're meant to form as a living being. Not with the beautiful world around you, not with the people meant to teach or guide or support you, and especially not with yourself. You would be just as unfulfilled and discontent as someone who never thinks their actions through and forever has to live in the consequences of behaving with only emotions and no thought. Both are their own kind of hell, I think. Therefore, it is important to bring both into a kind of balance, to have the wisdom to know when to listen to which. And sometimes, very often, you can indulge in both without sacrificing the other. After all, emotion and thought originate in one organ: the brain. 😊 There's no reason for them to be at war when they live in the same house.

Your mind know that your heart is wrong

Its not always the heart, it can be the mind pretending to be the heart like with oxytocin withdrawl, like when ur out of an abusive relationship and on the third day miss them and wana look past the bad thibgs. That aint ur heart lemmy tell ya

Feel/heart often is temporary, where as thinking/mind is more long term. Like someone wants to stuff themselves with chips but know that's not good for their body.

The battle of the soul and spirit. Not sure if you really want to know the answer.

Well my whole life my heart controlled everything now my brain is and I suddenly have a disliking for everyone and have a hard time connecting to people, thanks to what happened on February 4th I'm struggling with my emotions.
