Exceptions

I find it fascinating when I have unexpected reactions to things, even more so when the aftermath emotionally paralysed me for a few hours (I slept on it and woke up fine).

Though I haven't known this person for long (relatively speaking) the fact that I can't quite work out what I really think of her makes her a fascinating subject into my personal psyche. She makes no sense to me at all on any level.

While having dinner with my friend Kirsty I speculated that life would be much easier if I decided to just "think like a jerk".

To formalise it a bit more, I do wonder if I can come up with a formalised process of dealing with emotional distractions.

Like an Emotional Detachment Process.

1) Provocation
2) Acknowledgement of negative emotions
3) Rationalise / Process the situation
4) Detach and move on
