@Lizzz @LnzyHou @wolfwoman @AskTheDevil @poemblaze It's fascinating to me seeing everyone's different perspectives on hatred, and challenging emotions.

@AskTheDevil are you hiding in the details? :P

@NiveusLepus @Lizzz @LnzyHou @wolfwoman @poemblaze

Yes! I got the idea of hiding in the details from that scene with the stuffed animals in ET!

@NiveusLepus @Lizzz @LnzyHou @wolfwoman @poemblaze I don't believe _any_ emotion exists for no reason. We have the ability to feel the range of emotions we do because they do something for us.

If we just try to chop off and shut down the ones we don't like, that just makes us _bad_ at them.

We have to process, understand, even confront our emotions, so that we choose right actions, and are not overwhelmed by emotions we have stunted and abused.

@AskTheDevil @Lizzz @LnzyHou @wolfwoman @poemblaze Denial is like leaving a splinter in your hide. It will fester and rot, causing more damage

In my last few months visiting the east coast, I've had to do a lot of driving, and the drivers there can be frightening for me

I've been using those moments of being cut off, or buzzed past at 100mph as opportunities to practice re framing

I realized, sitting deeply with it, that all those reactions I was having was out a desire for us to be safe.
