To sum up the topic on emoism, we got a special write-in. And it is better known from a mysterious writter, which calls himself MR X. Who is he? Why is he so mysteriously X? What are his views on emoism? Has he succeed in describing the essence of emoism?

Here you go, word for word from MR X write-in:

It's time I shed some light on the truth about Emo and Emoism

Granted, I haven't a slightest clue on how and why this term was coined.

But that doesn't deter me from dishing out some wisdom about this burgeoning problem
Because firstly, I have friends embroiled in this crappy state at this very moment so I know what it’s like to be an emo… and secondly, I am pretty darn good at sifting out the bullshits that life throws at you.

okay moving on to my points proper, my first controversial assertion is people already have the all the resources they need within them to snap out of emoism

Before scoffing, think about it this way.

If you were to stick a gun beside the head of an emo and demand that he get out of that crappy state or risk losing his life, how likely do you think he'd shut emosim out of his life, at least for that very moment?

Well, if that emo is sane, you can pretty much bet that he’d kill to get out of emoism!

So, given that emos have the innate ability to haul themselves out of emosim, then why do they remain the way they are?

I think it’s quite obvious that there is an obscure benefit involved in being an emo and that is the ATTENTION they get.

You see when someone is depressed or disappointed, it’s the natural tendency for someone else to lavish care and concern on him.

Don’t get me wrong. There’s nothing “bad” about being concerned about someone who is in a rough patch.

But the problem arises when too much care and concern is lavished on that person to the point that he feels so loved and cherished, he doesn’t want his present reality to change ie; he wants to remain in an emo-istic state so that he can continue to receive that supply of love, attention, care, concern, etc.

And this is the case for most emos.

They figured that the quickest and fastest way to get attention is to sink into a mood of emoism.

That’s why I always remain indifferent when someone is depressed. I don’t believe in sugarcoating or pep talking someone out of depression. (I suck at it anyway) Instead, I believe in assisting someone when he’s determined to get out of that state.

But what about cases where emoism is genuine… meaning the person is genuinely depressed and has NO yearnings for attention?

Well, I’ll deal with it in my next post.

Mr X
