When bad stuff happens, when reality strikes and your wishes crumble, when you try and fail, when the shit hits the fan, when you dont get the reward, when the outcome is not what you intended… What do you feel first? what comes more natural?
A) This is SO unfair.
B) If I want a different outcome I have to do something different, or be someone different.
Erm. Probably B. Can’t remember the last time something bad happened that wasn’t actually my fault tbh. I reckon most of my problems are self-created or self-imposed to an extent. Also ‘C’ is my most natural reaction and the one that leads to B in the first place:
C) Should have known better. Had the chance and you blew it but there’s probably some way around it anyway so like … whatever.
- Which option produces you a gut rejection?
Gut reaction you mean? A elicits feelings of incoherent anger whilst B elicits feelings of optimism so probably A because it’s more visceral. You’d have to be in a calm state of mind to experience B, none of that gut stuff.
- Can you experience both options at the same time?
In the same day, yes. At the same time, no.
Do you have any of those options banned / blocked / out of your reach?
Don’t get this question.
- For how long do you need to experience A or B, before one state transforms into the other?
In the event of A: at the most a few hours or days before it becomes B and C. I’m always optimistic so whenever bad things happen, I either rationalise it by saying “wasn’t meant to be/didn’t like it anyway” or by getting excited and making new plans. Especially if the new plan involves making bullet point lists. ¬_¬

Bellita, Hope,
Thanks, neither A or B or (C) are incorrect, but I do have a lot to say about them. I dont want to hijack this thread so I´ll continue here
