When i see someone ranting and raving over some unfortunate situation in their life, i cringe.
Do me a favour. Take a chill pill.
Whats the point of getting all worked up? We cant think straight..we deplete our life forces and the problem remains a problem ...with lots of bad feelings.
Im afraid i do overeact quite a bit to this for a reason.
Growing up amidst highly charged emotions from super-sensitive, emotional people .. life had been like walking around booby traps. Tantrums, abuses, emoblackmails.. the whole package... gosh! Emotional battering has taken much of its toll on everyone.
I acquired these habits pretty early and didnt know better till it led me into some unfortunate situations that forced me to take a hard look at myself (thankfully i can say now). It helped me get out of the box. Not entirely free of it tho but at least i see the difference between wats normal and not.
One thing i try and do these days.. it is to separate these emotions from consuming me. You can never get rid of it anyway, but why let it pull u down where u then become completely worthless. It is not easy but it takes practice to do an emotional shift. One gets better in time.
When the 'cloud' descends upon me, whether self imposed.. or not.. i switch off, turn within, shields on and let it slid off me like a blob. And yes, i try.
