Because you're reading too much news and the intention of majority of them is not to make you informed but scared and angry. The vast majority of thing you're scared about never end up happening.

Why does it feel like I'm reading articles about egg prices virtually every day. I don't get why anyone cares this much.

What I find the most irritating about these movies is the complete incompetence of 007. Without plot armor that dude wouldn't have made it past his 30's. Just how many times has he snuck into the enemy compound armed with a pistol and wearing a suit only to be immediately caught by a random guard and then the only thing saving his life is the fact that the enemy boss wants to give his revenge speech first rather than just shooting him on sight.

Normal people don't comment on online messageboards. The fact that someone comments online by definition means they're not normal.

I wasn't talking about feeling angry but rather how one expresses that feeling. Swearing, raising one's voice, hitting and throwing stuff are things people do on top of being angry. It's the behavior I critizise, not the emotion.

I think one of the most informative features of one's personality is how they handle setbacks. Nobody's perfect but I think an adult should be able to control the expression of their emotions. Something like getting angry at a game and screaming at it let alone throwing the controller is a huge red flag for me. I can't think of a situation where letting anger take control of you has ever produced a better outcome compared to staying calm unless you're literally in a fight.

I don't know if it's my experience with meditation or what but I see anger as such a powerful emotion that it pretty much cannot sneak up on me. The first moment something anger inducing happens to me it's like an alarm that goes off inside my head telling me to play close attention to how I'm going to react. Something like annoyance on the other hand is much more sneaky and has significantly higher chance of poisoning my mind before I detect it.

so you can just move on

Oh, you're highly underestimating my capability to get stuck in the little things

I shit my pants once when I was like ten and a certain relative still brings it up on every single family gathering now even over 20 years later.

Maybe this is one of those autism things again but I'm really annoyed by this headline format and I wish articles would stop using it.

I don't have a boss, nor an office job. Stop assuming that everyone does.

I virtually never discuss politics with my parents. I don't have a clue about which party they even vote for.

As a Finn, "scandinavian method" sound hilarious, though technically we're not part of Scandinavia. And yea, ofcourse people have their own blankets. You don't share a pillow either ..right?
