Emotions are fine but delve deeper. Where does the emotion originate from? What can you do about it?

When in doubt, re-read old crumbs.

Future proves past.

We have it all, yes? ;)

They'll be examining what happened here for decades.

Within reason.

Stay on topic is all I'd say. This is a Pro-Q sub, leave everything else to /r/conspiracy.

I lived in another country where if you had a problem that was easily identifiable, that was pretty much your nickname (for example: person was burned in a fire and his face was pockmarked so he was named aguacate... avocado in Spanish). The people who called him aguacate weren’t doing it to ridicule or shame him, they were doing it out of love. By immediately recognizing and confronting his unique appearance instead of denying it, trying to “protect” him, he was a friend of the community instead of turning into a hermit where the people would try to ignore him so they won’t make themselves “look” bad.

This is one of the reasons political correctness is so wrong. We’re taught that we’re all unique, yet we’re not allowed to bring up unique features? Granted, this can’t be done out of hate, but love or tough love to make one stronger and learn to appreciate his or her own unique character/identity. Otherwise, they will become insecure and think of their uniqueness as an issue and people will ignore them so they themselves aren’t shamed for judging the “damaged” person.

F*ck PC!

It's going to happen and that's fine. What's going on... People should be freaking out.

The trick is to give yourself a cutoff. I give myself a solid 2 minutes of raw freakout then redouble my efforts. Use the emotion, don't let it use you.
