How do you pull yourself away from a emotional situation?

you have to think to yourself, is this helping me? I'm a going to get anything from this? or is it just making me worse, when you have the answers you leave the conversation, delete the friend or whatever and distract yourself, talk to old friends and find support

Assuming you're in a place where your feelings overwhelm you in a bad way (anger, frustration, guilt, grief, etc) it's important to ground yourself. Your breathing's linked directly to your emotions, so you tend to breathe shallower when upset. The first thing I do is focus on breathing deeply and slowing my thoughts down. Negative emotions have a physical "feeling" in your body, usually a kind of heaviness or flush of cold numbness. I focus on that emotion's physical weight instead of whatever caused it (my thoughts circling around, other people, some outside source) while breathing deeply and slowly. This pulls me away from my frustration and prevents me from lashing out/reacting in the heat of a moment, in a way that could hurt myself and others. Separate yourself from the emotions; they aren't YOU, they're just impulses that come and go. After you've grounded yourself, you can react in a productive, non-hurtful way. Unless you're talking about removing your body from an emotional encounter. Then I'd just recommend excusing yourself and doing something relaxing that you enjoy, or talking to a listener on here!

I try to think of ways out and remind myself of all the happy situations and look forward to the things I'm excited about.

I would always find something to get my mind off of on what was going on like fishing,camping,hiking etc..

Begin to picture your life without this emotional barrier and understand the benefits of letting go. Ask yourself "Is this really worth the emotional distress it's causing me?"

Separate behaviours from the person, if an action someone has done hurts you, remember it is their behaviour you are upset with not the person themselves.

You take a step back and look at your emotions from another viewpoint, what has been causing these emotions, how would you react, how did you react. Just don't look through your emotions, look at them.

I always try to calm mayself down by breathing slowly and trying to think with logic. I ask myself things like: Why are you feeling like this? Can you get away from what triggered this emotion?

I run away :D I'm a very emotional person, my tears are so close, so I just try to be alone till I calm,

just remember we have two types in brain in thinking, logical and emotional. so then i think with my logical mind and recover and deal better the situation
