You're avoiding something... it won't go away.

What you resist tends to persist.

"The talk" ugh

Avoiding problems is not the same as not having problems and not discussing problems doesn’t make them go away.

Why are feminists angry?

Philosophers believe the pendulum must swing both directions for a time before finding it's equilibrium.
In short, we need someone to be angry about injustices to counterbalance the inappropriate actions, which unfortunately come at high personal costs to an individual for the sake of the cause.

Why do I sometimes handle things really badly?

We default to handling old problems in old ways.

Power Over Your Problems

You gotta take responsibility for your own problems, it's not saying every problem is your fault but saying every problems' solution is up to you.

As long as you blame everything or everyone else you are saying 'I am powerless and the solution is at the mercy of others and/or circumstances

The most empowering thing you can do is own your problems so you have power to control solutions.
