Interesting finding that i had when I m doing research on my topic. Prosocial Behavior has been always promote and encourage in the religious context. I am wondering, people who are religious are they more prosocial compared to free thinker or atheist?

Recently learnt about emotion triangle, it said human tends to suppress core emotion, and manifested as either a defense or inhibitory emotion. The emotion that we tends to inhibit are shame, guilt ... There are fear and inferiority that governs my heart - I have to learn to address and admit my feelings better, and make a decision to communicate or set a boundary. It is hard to actually do so, and I know after I have done it - I can sense my guilt and shame.
