How is it is supposed to work: your emotions are a response to your situation and surroundings. It is OK to feel the emotion. Now take that emotion and use your logical brain to decide which parts of the emotion fit the facts of the situation and which do not and why, and how you're going to respond to said emotions (which is what tweet said, and what therapists say)
How people seem to interpret it: any emotional reaction is perfectly fine and I am not responsible for what I do out of emotion.
How it is supposed to work: hi friend, just as a heads up I am having a Yikes The Emotions day. To this end, I am playing a lot of video games so as not to interact badly with humans. I appreciate you checking in but I’ll be back when the sight of Kleenex boxes stops making me feel randomly homicidal.
How people seem to interpret it: I TOLD YOU KLEENEX BOXES ARE A TRIGGER, IT’S YOUR OWN FAULT I JUST CUT OFF YOUR HAND
I remember reblogging it, but.. yeah, this is very important.
