I get pretty frustrated when someone walks slower than me and keeps lurching back and forth so I can't overtake. Idk why, might miss bus maybe.

I don't say or do anything, though sometimes I nip onto the road or between some tight terrain to overtake

Being frustrated is an emotion and there are no bad emotions. There are bad ways to deal with emotions but it doesn't sound like that's an issue you have.

Emotions are good and should be acknowledged and definitely not something you should feel bad for.

this is obviously correct and a sentiment I've seen before, but idk that I've ever read it put so bluntly, and it feels like the first time I'm truly getting this

thank you โค๏ธ

Aww thank you and you're very welcome, I had the exact same reaction when I first heard that "there are no bad emotions only bad ways to deal with them" and am so happy I could pay it forward (I think thats the phrase?)

that is the phrase! Care-Comrade

probably not going to be news to everyone else, but I feel like grabbing everyone I know and going off about this ๐Ÿ˜‚so just keep in your head today the knowledge that I'm spending the day restraining myself from grabbing people by the shoulders and giving excited lectures
