I was reading a book today and it said that emotional overreactions are indicative of unconscious conflicts. Now I know that it sounds very psychoanalytical, but I think they had something there. Maybe overreactions really are clues to some kind of repressed conflict or insecurity. It's hard for me to explain, but I can't shake the feeling that they're at least partly right about this. So, I'm going to carefully monitor my overreactions from now on and see what they tell me. Maybe exploring why these reactions are not in proportion with the triggering event will give me a glimpse into what really bothers and I can start to figure out why.
