What are emotions

Emotions what are they to you? To me they are just words, I've experienced Love & Pain and it has hit me like a roller coaster. It has times where no matter what it is people are not genuine as much you think they are the most emotion you feel from people is pain. What is pain to you? There are many people say is temporary but I believe it's more than that. there is more to just being physically in pain and emotional pain. Men more of the times doesn't show pain because at a young age we are taught to never show pain to anyone, but what some parents do not tell their sons growing up if you never release the pain from inside it will grow a bigger pain inside. For women from what I have experienced they show of pain in many ways by not talking and avoiding things or people. A person like myself has a hard time dealing with pain, physically I agree it is temporary but emotionally no. Being a young man who had to grow up early than normal was hard being at the age of 11. Experiencing things that I would see on movies come to reality. Having so many things that can hit you at that age can lead to more emotions that are overwhelming for anyone to handle. At this time of age pain and love honestly doesn't exist to me any more. WHY? Because of so many situations have led me to believe emotions are nothing but words and words can no longer harm me.
