It's difficult but "worry only about that which you can control" is a reasonable rule for sensitive people to follow. I can only control my actions. Nothing else. I can't even control my feelings.
- varispeed 4y agoSome feelings can be controlled by appropriate action. For instance if you experience fear because you don't know how something may end. You may start doing research on it and explore different outcomes. Often turns out that these outcomes aren't actually bad and such information makes fear disappear in an instant.
- isthisthingon99 4y agoIn my world, controlling your feeling means being able to turn it off or change it by sheer will. But yes most feelings can and should be managed through positive actions which you can control.

- mahathu 4y agoYou should become a therapist dude, I didn't know it was that easy! Next up: homeless people should just start doing research on the property market and buy a house.
- varispeed 4y agoDidn't say it is easy. Not sure why such a negativity. Are you okay?
- ghoogl 4y agothis dangerous line of reasoning we can to a large degree control our actions however this idea of control in the first place is in the wrong frame ihmho
- isthisthingon99 4y agoExplain why? Most misery comes from expectations.
- mansoon 4y agoAnd also most joy.
- mansoon 4y agoHow else would you overcome the basic risk of doing anything?

- isthisthingon99 4y agoBoth joy and misery are to be expected, but in both cases you must be careful of how you act in reaction to these feelings.
