It shows how you feel of their opinion and sheds doubt on your interpretation of the situation. And also sways the listener to your opinion. It’s best to share facts without the emotion.

Yes. Hear me out though. Sometimes the stress of the problem makes those solutions easily forgettable. It’s good to have someone ask the obvious questions. It also helps them to find out where you are in your troubleshooting so if they do have something that might work that wasn’t addressed they can provide that as an option. People don’t typically get instant downloads of everything that’s been tried.

Sadly the Bible is not something that should be taken literally. It shouldn’t be used as an example of anything these days. It shouldn’t be mentioned when we are making laws.

Recreate the situations and scenarios where you get triggered. And be in the situation. Stew in it. Notice more and more how you react. What is happening before your reaction? What is happening in the space between each reaction. You most likely will not find out the solution while in meditation. But the meditation will ingrain the ability to slow your processes down. So when you’re back in the situation you will start noticing the issues that are making you lose it.
