Summarize:

In order to become emo, you have to become aware of your emotions so you're able to recognize them. Throughout the day, ask yourself how you're feeling. For example, you might tell yourself, I'm angry, after you have a fight with your friend, or I'm sad, after you don't do well on a test. Name your emotions as you experience them, and allow yourself to fully feel them. It's also important to notice the intensity of your emotions. For example, you might be annoyed after a friend is late to meet you, mad when your sibling calls you names, and fuming when someone at school spreads a false rumor about you. Try to identify the full range of emotions that you feel from day to day. If you're having trouble getting in touch with your emotions, it might help to keep a journal. At the end of each day, jot down the emotions that you felt and what caused them, so you can start to understand them better. When you're emo, acknowledging your feelings doesn't just mean crying when you're sad or yelling when you're angry. Try to find a creative outlet to express your emotions. Depending on your interests and talents, that might mean writing, drawing, painting, singing, or dancing. Find the most satisfying way to express how you feel, and do it regularly. If you want to use writing as a way to express your feelings, try your hand at writing poetry, short stories, and even songs. If you want to use art to express your feelings, draw or paint a scene that makes your emotions visual. If you enjoy singing and dancing, you can use the music of your favorite emo bands for inspiration. Emo teens tend to be introverted, which means they are drained by social interactions with other people. If you feel that way, it's important to spend time by yourself so you can build your energy back up. Spending time alone also gives you more time to get in touch with your emotions and engage in creative pursuits, such as writing and drawing, that allow you to express your feelings. Don't be afraid to tell your friends that you don't feel like hanging out, or asking your parents if you can skip out on family TV night to spend time alone in your room. While some time for yourself is good for you, don't assume that you should spend all of your time alone just because you're emo and introverted. Spend time with friends and family who you're comfortable sharing your feelings with when you feel up to it.
Get in touch with your emotions. Express your emotions. Take time for yourself.
