A way i like to think about how i feel things is primary and secondary emotions.

Everyone knows what a primary emotion is. That’s how everyone thinks about emotions! It’s the ‘i’m happy’ or ‘i’m sad’ or ‘i’m angry’. Its how most people think of feelings, the one at the forefront, the one most easily pinpointed.

Secondary emotions is a concept that really helped me understand how my feelings worked a lot more.

An example: my first emotion is happiness, or maybe i’m in a bit of a hyperactive moment. That’s primary emotion. My secondary emotion is sadness, or anxiety, or self loathing, or anger. This means that although i’m happy, i’m enjoying myself, i’m high energy, every so often (meaning either seconds or minutes apart) my secondary emotion seeps through and i have no choice but to feel it. I’ll return to my primary emotion momentarily, and usually i’ll still be outwardly showing that one, but now all my brain is doing is SAD SAD EVERYONE HATES YOU REMEMBER ALL THE TERRIBLE THINGS YOU’VE DONE and then poof! It’ll be gone until it ebbs back again.

Sometimes, you’ll get a pair of negatives. Like sadness and anger. Ever been crying, and suddenly you get so agonisingly angry at whatever caused your sadness that you clench your jaw, or bite your pillow, or muffle a scream? And then it’ll fade back to just regular sadness, and maybe come back again in a few minutes? Yeah.

It doesnt always have to be negative, though. I find when i’m at my purest form of happiness is when my primary emotion is happiness and my secondary emotion is peace/ a different kind of happiness. Times like that are probably the only times i 100% relax. I feel like everything will turn out fine in the end, that everything’s already fine.

And primary and secondary emotions arent pairs that follow each other around. They fluctuate separately! Like, your secondary emotion may change throughout the period of one primary emotion. Or you might be stuck with the same secondary emotion for weeks, even as your primary emotions change up as often as you would expect.

The secondary isnt always more/the same level of negative as the primary too! Sometimes your secondary can be ‘getting by’ while your primary is ‘completely destraught’, so you’ll get little waves of ‘hey, i’m fine, why am i so upset? I’m overreacting.’ This is also something that comes to mind when someone asks me ‘how are you?’ And i reply ‘good!’ or ‘fine!’ Because that might be my primary emotion, but my secondary is something completely different that maybe i feel they don’t care enough to know about, or vice versa and fine is the secondary.

Maybe this is something other people already talk about, maybe not. Just thought i’d share cuz being neurodivergent is hard and spewing half legible thought processes onto the internet is somehow a coping mechanism

Steve shows up to work one day with a baby bjorn complete with sleeping baby on his chest and Robin is like Steve....what the fuck?

And Steve says "I would've called you last night but she'd only stop crying when I held her and my parents were fighting, obviously, and I had to figure out how to make her bottle then I fell asleep with her on top of me and I think my dad legitimately forgot about us even though this is his fault, and there's no one to take care of her so I had to bring her. Sorry."

That is a lot and answers very few of Robin's questions.

"who...is she?"

Steve brightens and smiles down at the baby who's tiny baby fist is scrunched up in his work vest. "Oh! My half sister. Her mom works for one of my dad's business partners and brought her to my parents while they were away last week so they came home, mostly to dump her off on a nanny they forgot to hire--hence my baby holder here--and fight. Turns out dad cheating is easier to ignore when there isn't actual proof of it."

"oh. Woah."

"yeah. Anyways, ready to rewind some tapes?"

So they start work Steve logging returns into the computer and cupping the baby whose name I don't know yet's head. Then the little baby wakes up, making little baby noises, and Robin is not one for babies really, but Steve coos and picks her hand off his chest and waves it at Robin.

"see, that's your auntie Robin! Say hiii auntie Robin!"

The baby chews her tongue at Robin and blows a spit bubble.

And how is Robin supposed to not be charmed by that?

"awww," she says, letting the baby grab her finger, "yeah, I'm your auntie Robin. Your big brother's gonna take care of you so good huh? You'll know your way around retail in no time."

Steve giggles.

It is then that The Gremlins decide to show up and Cause Noise. Baby sister starts to cry and Steve takes her to the back to get her to calm down and change her, comes out (ignores the party's questions. Giving them Ultimate Mom Pose with Bonus Effect of Baby) hands her to Robin who is a little nervous but she will not let her new niece (?) Down, and goes back to find and heat up a bottle.

Eddie, who drove the gremlins and was looking for something in his van comes in, sees Robin holding the baby and is like huh? What's this?

And then Steve comes out with a bottle and a baby blanket over his shoulder, reaches for the baby from Robin and tries to get her to latch on the bottle with quiet words and gentle hands and Eddie is not okay he's not fine he's having a melt down because Steve with the kids is one thing but Steve with a Baby is something very different and he should not be expected to keep it together seeing this
