Everything in this world in temporary, we might not be able to accept it at first, but slowly as time passes by, we realize that the friends, family, feelings or even the things we love don't stay the same anymore. All these facts are inevitable and we need to accept them slowly. :)

The feelings will remain, you will just become adaptable as time passes. It might be possible that they won't last long. The thing is you will be over them, just give them some time.

No, feelings come and go, like waves in an ocean, or the seasons in a year. You may feel like this will never come to an end, but it will eventually. Important is that you don't give up

No feelings last forever, whether we are talking about negative or positive "feelings". These "feelings" can and will change and that is okay and normal. This is true from feelings of sadness and even love. In the case of love as an example, we must choose to accept someone and love them regardless of flaws, the "feeling" of in love might come and go, but when you choose to love someone, as long as you are not in an unsafe or unhealthy scenario of course that might be a close a definition of "true love" as we can muster without incorporating peoples perceptions. If you are feeling something else, perhaps something we assign a negative connotation to, take heart that the feeling is not a permanent one, if just that little bit helps than you are doing great. Feel free to message me as a listener if you need an ear, and as always have a great day 7 cups community!

It depends if you want to hold on to that feelings forever or you want to let go of them.

Just like most things in life, feelings do not last forever. The feelings and emotions we experience can sometimes overwhelm us terribly, and it can feel that they will never go away. While it may be really hard to get over how we feel at a certain moment, we need to know that there are many things we can do to feel better. Sometimes we just need some time to heal, other times we need to talk to someone and express our thoughts, and other times we may need to seek professional help. Things can always get better.

Eventually your feelings towards someone will fade away as you move on in life and become stronger as an individual.

They may or may not last forever. It depends on what kind of feelings you have and how you handle them :)

No, as you grow and change your feelings will change as well to better represent who you are at that time.

Nothing last forever, the truth is that all things pas, both the good feelings and the bad. When we're feeling down it's always important to remember that This too shall pass", Enjoy the good times, remember and cherish them, go through the bad knowing that they're only temporary.

Feelings never last forever, especially the bad ones. I mean, feeling the emotion of love towards someone won't ever fade unless you choose to let it fade. Depression, for instance, won't be forever unless you choose to embrace that depression and accept help for it. Don't worry, there are always options for everything. Feelings never last forever, you just have to choose which feelings you want to last forever.

Everybody is different in the ways they think and feel or can handle a thought or a situation. Finding the "Right" type of help is a good route to take whether it be in the form of therapy, counseling, coping mechanisms, medications or the combination of all.

In my experience, feelings vary in intensity and duration depending on the situation. It may be that the feeling will always be there but that the intensity of that feeling will subside. The good news is that you are here and asking questions. You're already take a positive step for change. It might be time to connect to someone who can listen to your concerns.

Who can say? Life is complex-- human beings are complex, and we often know not even the contents of our own hearts. Negative feelings do tend to decay with time as we work through them, and happy feelings often grow as we build upon them. Rather than worry about the future, perhaps focus on the now. Try to find joy in the now. (:

They might if you make them your focus. And sometimes, it is good too, you might learn to live with them, deal with them. Yet if they are only making you run around like a headless chicken, confused and dazed about what to do next, then it is better to step away, look at it from a different perspective and the come back to it at a later stage when you are a lot calmer.

Definitely not! I know everyone says it, but better days really are ahead. Don't give up because you have such an amazing future for yourself, you've just gotta keep going! It can get really hard, but you create your own reality. Create the life you can't wait to wake up too. There is light at the end of the tunnel. Don't look away from it because it's there, I promise. You get one step closer everyday. Eliminate negative people in order to help you be the best person you are. Notice who's around you when you feel the best. Everyone's on their own path, so don't compare yourself to others because your dream life is on its way as long as you keep going.

No. Time will eventually numb the pain no matter how difficult it is to believe. We never grow out of feelings, they simple don't become our top priority anymore, they're put aside. Whether it takes days, months, weeks or even years, time will help numb it.

The happenings behind the feelings may last for a long time, but the way you're feeling won't. You just need to remember that time is your best friend, and heals a lot.

Forever is a long time, change can occur. Out of the blue. Your feelings short term can be affected by music/films,environment and people. Try to surround self with positive people. Sometimes it feels like the end of something, where in reality it is just a breaking down of old beliefs/values/mores in order to clear the way for new/better ones.

They might last forever, but they wont last forever if you stand up against your feelings and fight back.

Absolutely not! The feelings you are experiencing at the moment, however bad they are, will eventually go. Your life will move on, and so will you. Sometimes these things take a little time.

Absolutely not. Feelings are fleeting and temporary. Whatever you're feeling now could change completely in just hours, maybe days, or even months, but they will change.

No. Time heals everything - it's cliche, but true. I know that at the moment, your feelings might seem like they will never, ever go away, but trust me, they will. Give it time.

Yes. Those feeling with never completely wear out, they will just fade. They will become as if you can't feel it but it's still there. But trust me, it takes a long time for that.
