Discomfort

The only behavior you can control is your own. And yet, human nature is such that when your comfort is disrupted, you seek to control the disruption rather than your response to it. There is a logic that thinks certain behaviors are unacceptable, therefore must be addressed. So, you transfer your discomfort to the offending party. Contrary to your desired outcome, the discomfort is expanded. Try another way: accept and then release your initial response. Observe the behavior that triggered your discomfort. From there a helpful response can be initiated.
