    I only ever see it used in solidarity with someone else's feelings, or to express ones own feelings about something.

    What's the "dem " mean?

    "Them"

    That's how West Indians say them.

    What?

    I think it is generally meant to point out that feelings don't change reality or that sometimes reality can be harsh regardless of how you feel about it.

    Feel whatever you want. Don't expect what's necessary to conform to your feelings, though.

    I feel like feelings should still be taken into consideration equally to facts..feelings are usually a large reason that anyone ever gains a lot of weight.

    So when facts and feelings contradict ... which wins?

    It seems that to some people on MFP, anything you say can be construed as insulting.
    It's a hobby.
    Some people garden. Some people bicycle. And some people wail about being insulted.
    I don't think the last group burns as many calories. But who knows, maybe they are actively insulted.

    Well I'm in my 20s and never heard of it so.

    Maybe you haven't been in the right forums.

    I mean, are you aware, brah?

    It depends entirely upon context. For instance, when using it to describe my reaction to "Dexter," it was to express that I had encountered profound emotions which I was not comfortable discussing in depth.

    I've seen the term used here when someone posts their opinion, but can't back it up with science. Because of this I've always thought it was used in a condescending way

    Are we no longer allowed feelings in the MFP community forums?

    What's with all the vocab police, reply police, and manner police these days? Maybe this should be in chit chat? (forum police, didn't want to miss one!)
