OTOH, you do have a lot of control in many cases. I realized that I was way too emotionally invested in a lot of work interactions because I just hadn't thought through what I actually wanted. Once I realized that, I was able to dial down my emotional investment and I stopped forming grudges at least in those cases.

I’ve tried this successfully over vast stretches of time at work. However, the human element always gives way for me and I do eventually crack. Sometimes I do think it’s ok to feel the emotion because it’s not just business when humans are involved.
