Why do negative emotions pack more punch?

Ever wondered why negative emotions pack a stronger punch than positive ones?
It's like the tale of two wolves: the one we feed wins. But why do we often find ourselves overfeeding the negative?
Negativity tends to linger around longer often due to a lack of resolution and finding closure in the experience. Finding the lessons and shifting our mindset from being problem-oriented to solution-oriented can help bring about that sense of closure, and shift our state of mind to the positive.
This requires us to recognize and appreciate the positives just as intensely as we dissect the negatives.
Which wolf will you choose to feed today?

I’ve wondered about that question for some time.

[@enoch327]

I knew a guy who had been offered a job in Houston with an oil company. So when he got here they told him sorry we hired someone else. He stayed in Houston. But for sixty years he would drive by that oil company's gas stations and buy his gas from another oil company's gas station. For him, and for me, negative emotions are enduring because they highlight a sense of unfairness. My expectation of something being right was betrayed. Secondly our culture emphasizes negative emotions. Thirdly, negative emotions tend to cluster together. I can be mad, sad, and afraid all at the same time. It is tough to control one's emotions, to feed the good wolf as you suggest. After several decades I am getting better at it.
