They also tend to exaggerrate and get hysterical to the point where it's about their contentness and not the original problem, i.e. they want things to change in a way they envisioned, not change in general, which typically causes new problems down the line.

@Voya You repeating that under multiple comments doesn't seem like a good strategy of having your wish be granted!

[@Architector_4]

@Voya I have a 1 step plan that will definitely help you with this: 1. Stop talking about it. Not only you are provoking yourself to describe your own feelings about it (which only reinforces them), but you are also provoking other people to respond to you, where those reponses also remind and reinforce you of it. This memory will fade if you let it. By focusing on it, you are not letting it fade, but instead are reinforcing it. Take the opposite strategy.
