[quote=Anonymous]I remind myself that everyone’s emotions are valid. It doesn’t really matter what’s causing the emotion. I may be frustrated because my kid’s still in diapers and very resistant to diaper changes while my friend is frustrated because their kid isn’t listening to them when they’re asked to set the table. The reasons for the frustration are vastly different, but we’re still both feeling frustration. So I focus on responding to the emotion rather than responding to the situation. And while yes, my good friends are mindful of what they come to me complaining about, but really if they can’t feel like they can talk with you about what’s going on in their life without you being judgmental, your friendships will suffer. I have personally found that good quality therapy to learn how to feel and accept my emotions is what truly made it so that I’m not so reactive to what’s going on in other people’s lives. [/quote]
