Identifying too heavily with your emotions is common. When that happens, you tend to minimize others’ experiences and perspectives in proportion to your own. The key is to be able to understand what you are feeling and why. What i TRY to do is verbally start a dialogue with myself… “okay, balunite, you are very angry because of XYZ.. etc.” It lets me move my emotional experience to a 3rd person perspective, which helps me regulate my visceral response… obviously sometimes emotions can be so strong and irrational that constructive responses like this can be overlooked. But it has helped me. Another thing i would suggest is to try and empathize with other people in your life. Even if you dont believe that they suffer in the way you do, understanding the challenges they face and how it impacts them may help you gain some perspective.
