  • Knowing you are different (i.e. “atypical”) is the first step to resolving it. Perhaps you do react more strongly than others. If you are open to learning, practice, and change, you can work towards being better (and being happier).

    When your emotions react strongly, do not do the thing your body wants to do. Stop, walk away from the situation, and allow your emotions to settle. Don’t dwell on it and reignite your emotions. Then, take some time to answer:

    • Who/What made you react?
    • Why did you react?
    • How could it have been prevented?

    Finally, consider this: If your answer was “They did this” or “They caused me to act out”, imagine what you would answer if the roles were switched.

    Emotions cloud our judgements. It is important to NOT react on them, and instead reflect on them when we have returned to a neutral state.
