1 小时 8 分钟Hey, it's your friend Mel, and welcome to the Mel Robbins Podcast.
I am so excited to talk to you today because today I got a topic that I've been thinking about for a while.
Have you noticed that people seem way more emotional right now?
Like fragile and even in some cases, unhinged?
And by the way, I would include myself in that description.
I mean, just the other day, I was standing in line at the grocery store, and I just started feeling so impatient with how long it was taking.
It's not like I had to be somewhere.
I went from feeling perfectly fine to all of a sudden, I'm rocking back and forth.
I'm looking at my phone, and then I'm looking at my phone again, Then I'm looking around, and then I'm staring at the person in front of me and shooting them.
That kind of like, come on, come on.
Look, as she's taking one potato and putting it on the conveyor belt and then reaching in, grabbing another potato, and putting it on the camera.
And look, I'm normally a really chill person, but sometimes I wonder, have the last four years and the pandemic, has it created so many unexpected detours and changes in your life that there's just all of this emotional baggage that's built up for each and every one of us, and now all of a sudden, you're getting derailed by them as you're standing in line at the grocery store?
I mean, it's one thing to wear your emotions on your sleeve, but there are some days that I'm like, am I feeling more emotional?
I wish I could be better at responding to my emotions.
I'm sure you do, too.
Especially.
You want to know the situations where I really wish I had more control over how I'm feeling?
It's in those situations where somebody else is making me feel overwhelmed.
You know, like when somebody erupts at you because they're frustrated, or do you have somebody in your life that the second that they're mad or upset about something, they give you the silent treatment or make you feel guilty or maybe they apologize all the time.
I'm really sorry.
