  • I get angry because of frustration about things beyond my control that impact me negatively and can’t simply be ignored. Knowing that extra step is great and all, but doesn’t reduce the frustration or the anger. I’m sure that identifying the difference is helpful to some people who can ignore or address the actual cause of their anger.

    Note: I don’t get angry about frustrating things that I can do something about, or can be ignored.








  • This is not helpful in the sense that it adds another thing to worry about, but for me it was very helpful in the sense that I could actually forget about my performance and not worry about it anymore, and replace it with that other thing. And once I had figured out how to act confident in face of my mistakes, even that went away.

    I can confirm this works too! Fake it till you make it really does work because it is basically practice.











  • Concrete done right has a far longer life span. We have a few concrete roads that just fall apart at the seams every time they are redone at certain intersections. I would bet they are either rushed to try and keep the intersection closed for as short as possible, done by the lowest bidder who didn’t budget to do it right, or the intersection has such a shitty foundation/drainage that anything on top of it is going to fail.

    Other roads that seem to have just as much traffic have held up fine for decades.
