I’ve been thinking lately that a big category of emotional response are places where I am actually in the right, should be able to do something about stuff, and can’t effectively do anything. All I can think here is that life is inclusive and additive rather than exclusive and subtractive, such that I’m going to be upset about this stuff but there’s more in my life. I think this has been thrown off by the catastrophizing, fix-it-NOW, anything can be used to penalize you nature of childhood.
