3/🧵 : So-called "negative" emotions should function like an instrument panel. It has gauges and warning lights to tell you that something might be wrong. The gauge on red or the light is not a problem as such. Getting rid of warnings altogether would be dangerous (see previous post).

But it is also not always an emergency. It can warn you about a thing you already have a plan to deal with. It might warn you about something you cannot fix and just have to live through. Or it can be broken.
