Negativity

What strategies do you use to cope with negative feelings?

When I am bombarded by negative feelings, I distract myself until I have time or the objectivity to put my house in order. One of the benefits of aging is learning everything is not about me. I am responsible only for my behavior and reactions. I do what I can to accommodate a negative situation with integrity, then deal as I must.

I overheard a hilarious phone conversation a furious friend and co-worker had with her teenage daughter at work one day. (repeated verbatim)

“Kaylee, You been gittin’ in my drawers!”

Pause

“Yes you have! I can tell you been diggin’ around in there! Them’s f___ing panties! Is you f____ing!”

She slammed the phone down. “I don’t know what I’m gonna do with that little ‘ho! I can’t keep her out of my f___ing panties”

I was rolling on the floor, laughing.
