Sometimes people call each other "freaked-cat", but have you ever thought about this expression? When a cat is frightened, its heart starts beating faster, its muscles get tense, and there are changes in the chemicals in its bloodstreamAlthough the cat doesn't realize this, its body is getting ready for actionIf the danger continues, the animal will do one of two thingsIt will defend itself, or it will run away as fast as it can

???? Something like this also happens to peopleWhen we are excited, angry, scared, or aroused by other emotions feelings, our bodies go through many physical changesOur hearts beat faster, and our muscles get tenseAll of these changes make us more alert and ready to reactWe, tooget ready to defend ourselves or run

????????????? Human beings, however, have a problem that animals never faceIf we give way to our feelings and let them take over, we can get into troubleHave you ever said something in anger —or hit somebody—and regretted it later? Have you ever shouted at a teacher, told somebody you were lonely, or said you were in love, and then wished later you had kept your mouth shut?

It isn't always clever to express your feelings freely

???? Does this mean that it's smarter always to hide our feelings? No! If you keep feelings of anger, sadness, and bitterness hidden away or bottled up inside, your body stays tensePhysical illness can developIt can actually be bad for your health.(It isn't good to keep pleasant feelings inside either; all feelings need to be expressed.)

???? Feelings that you keep all bottled up inside don't just go awayIt's as if you bought some bananas and stuck them in a cupboardYou might not be able to see thembut before long you' d smell themAnd if you opened the cupboard, chances are that you'd see little fruit flies flying all over themThey'd be rotten

???? You can try to treat emotions as if they were bananas in the cupboardYou can hide them and you can pretend they don't exist, but they'll still be aroundAnd at last you'll have to deal with themjust like those bananas
