Feeling sad is an important part of being human. It’s a natural reaction we have to loss or defeat – something we all experience. Because we all know sadness, we can recognize it in others and empathize with our friends when they’re hurting. Empathizing with your friend and making time for them comes from your own lived experience of sadness. Feeling sad allows you to feel alive, and connected to other people. It can also help us to make better decisions, because we become more sensitive to our surroundings(people around us).

Think about how popular sad movies are, and how satisfying it can be to cry on the couch in front of the TV. Those experiences make you feel moved, and connected to other people. 

So, this is what it means to feel sad. But there are other emotions and experiences that we have when we’re hurting that are very distinct, but are often lumped under the “sad” label. For example, people can experience anguish(great mental or physical suffering), or grief, or hopelessness, or despair. These emotions have very different qualities and require different reactions from us.

Key idea 5

Anguish comes for the bones. (affects someone at a very deep level)

Anguish. Anguish feels shocking, unexpected, and often traumatic. And it can hit us on a primal(fundamental), physical level, too. This happened to Brené one day when she got a call from a childhood friend out of the blue(suddenly). The friend told her that she’d felt suicidal due to a childhood trauma Brené didn’t know about. When she heard this from her friend, she physically crumpled to the floor(collapsed).
