There is a scientific reason why it helps to talk about your feelings when you are sad, or angry. There's also a reason why hanging around people with "negative vibes" can be bad for you. It's because of your right ventrolateral prefontalcortex and your amygdala.
Activating your right ventrolateral prefrontal cortex helps calm down the amygdala response.
Just thinking about your feelings to yourself and identifying them by name has the same calming, healing effect. Which is why Buddha, who achieved nirvana with lots of mindful meditation, is so chill and mellow.
In other words, talking about your negative feelings takes away the negative vibes you feel. And that's a good thing!

That is indeed a good thing. Now, we just need some men to get on board with giving their feelings a name or verbalizing the negative feelings.If you need help, it's OK to ask the nearest woman.
