Seblak

You know when you get angry, and you just want to blurt things out—whether it's just regular anger or you're completely pissed off? I always wonder why, when I’m upset about something or when I’m around my loved ones, it feels like my brain just shuts off and I can’t think clearly. Do other people experience the same thing? Maybe it's a pattern—like when you're in danger or just too comfortable with someone. Or maybe it happens when you’re low on energy, and suddenly you crave Seblak or something really sweet.

I’ve been curious about this and wanted to understand it better. So, the hypothalamus plays a big role here. When you get angry at something or someone, the hypothalamus is like the boss that indirectly tells the adrenal glands to produce cortisol. But even before the hypothalamus acts, there’s an even bigger boss—the amygdala. It’s the one that kicks off the whole reaction by alerting the hypothalamus.

Once cortisol gets produced by the adrenal glands, it affects the prefrontal cortex, which is the part of the brain responsible for decision-making and emotional regulation. When the prefrontal cortex gets overwhelmed by cortisol, that’s when our thinking becomes unclear and impulsive. And that explains a lot.

Now, about the feeling part—emotions. That’s why Seblak, sweet things like chocolate, or even impulsive shopping feel so good when we’re stressed, angry, or upset. Those things trick our brain into thinking the pain or stress is over. But once we’re done eating or buying stuff, we realize it didn’t really help that much.

The only way to avoid feeling “dumb” when we’re angry is to take a step back—maybe take a deep breath, write it out, or sing it out. There are so many ways to release emotions in a non-destructive way. Sure, Seblak might help for a moment, but it’s not a long-term solution.

Just a random thought, but I truly believe that sometimes when we’re upset, stressed, or angry, it’s not really about the person or the thing—we’re just mad at the situation that feels out of our control. As humans, we naturally want peace, and we hate it when someone or something messes with that. That’s why we need to face the real problem, not just what we think is the problem.

So the answer only for the angry part, for the women's brain get turned off like "a bit dumb" when she's around her loved ones maybe onto the next writing.
