Unsolicited Advice #5

Learn the difference between feeling your feelings and acting them out. A sure sign of acting out is being overly concerned with the other rather then yourself. Manage your experience rather then another's! Make I-statements rather then blame as in: "You did", "-made me feel ...."

Releasing pent-up energy through acting out is very tempting and seems so real when in truth it is a means of avoiding your feelings and manipulating another's. Remember to bring it all back to yourself, your experience and your choices, rather then reactions.
