Whenever I call someone ‘emo’, it dosen’t mean that I find the person excessively emotional. All of us have emotions and we don\’t experience the positive ones all the time. There are times when we wake up on the wrong side of the bed, meet the wrong people, enter the wrong toilet or screw up lots of stuff. It is sometimes hard to feel positive when such things happen. Extreme conditions do trigger extreme emotions.
The “emos” I refer to are people who constantly believe that everything or certain areas of their life is fucked up and feel that there is nothing they can do to change it. I group emos into two categories, the loud emos and the quiet emos.
Loud Emos
They are usually people who lead normal lives but believe that their life is less than normal and feel that others should give in to them just because of that. They complain of the slightest inconveniences they have to face and won’t hesitate to flare up when things don’t change to their liking. They express whatever negative emotion they feel, no matter how small it is and hope that the world will feel their distress.
In my opinion, loud emos are just damned irritating. I usually try to avoid them at all cost.
Quiet Emos
The quiet emos are similar to the loud emos, the difference is that they express their negative emotions in a more subtle way. I find them less irritating than the Loud Emos. In contrary, they are usually the group of people I worry for the most because they get depressed easily and usually for some stupid reasons. They often look depressed, but they usually won’t tell you why they are depressed, which gives the impression that something really bad must had happened to them.
Argh.. dammit.. After typing all these, I realised that I could actually accurately define my view of emos within a short sentence:
‘Emos are extreme pessimists’
I’ll end this post with a meaningful quote from Dan Sullivnan
‘the problem isn’t the problem. It’s how you think about the problem that’s the problem’

Come on everyone, lets be more positive! =)
