Original Advice
“DO: Name your feelings in real time.”
Call the Weather While It Storms
Stop outsourcing your feelings to silence. When you swallow them, you force everyone to read a storm with no forecast. Your mood leaks anyway—through slammed drawers, delayed texts, tight smiles. Name it as it happens: jealous, tired, tender, furious, bored. Strip it of mystery. The moment you speak it, you stop performing and start participating. Clarity is not cruelty. It is hygiene.
You think protecting others means cushioning truth. It breeds confusion and resentment. Real-time labeling cuts the loop. It turns feelings into data instead of traps. It gives people instructions: come closer, back off, bring snacks, bring silence. It also trains your body to stop bracing for impact. A named wave can be surfed. An unnamed one just drags you under, again.
