Why Am I Being Hurt?

I found this artical fascinating because it talks about the mechanisms and emotional reasons we complain.One of my fathers sayings that I've always kept with me was:

  1. They want you to listen.
  2. They want you to do something about it.

It's something I've encountered in my life in many ways, and having just lived through my first son's 4th year, during Covid, I found it very relateable. It made me rethink that time in my life and the things I remember. Brings up that feeling of growth through making mistakes, which feels bad at first, but enlightening when you've realized how you change.
