The Narrative of Hurt Complain Whenever we tell a person about what someone did to us, which caused the  unexpected emotions - for example, anger, sadness, hurt, irritation, shock etc.  We always talk about what the other person did to us. How did they behave?  What did they say? " What an idiot "," How appalling! ",  " I didn't like it when... ", " It bothers me that... " What starts off as a rant or a vent is usually surface level.  And, let's face it, all of us need to blow off steam or release the emotions that we have held inside. Stories We all have an idea of what happened, and how it happened.  Sure you were interpret it as being wrong on your part but it didn't have to go that far. Yeah, it was a slip-up but wasn't it an over-reaction ? We over-estimate the way someone reacts and under-estimate our role in it.  We are a spectator or the willing participant of the situation.

"Life is all about time." and so on and so forth.  I think one of the most painful things we all carry is the consequences of a decision for the rest of our lives. That job offer, to blocking out people from your life. From moving to a new city to being in a romantic relationship. We make them, commit to them, lose them from our life.
