One thing I'm trying to live lately is it's okay to have reactions and share them.

There's this weird thing with the richer society I've moved into from being in tech, where people think being anesthetized is the same as being happy.

No psychologist I've met advises what I see people assume: you must always hold back negative thoughts. They then apply techniques for reducing stress from overwhelming thoughts to advise eliminating all negative thought.
