I'm sitting in corporate training on communication and meeting etiquette -- yeah, really -- and unbelievably, the instructor just explained how and why I've been feeling what I've been feeling since the election. Apparently, our fight-or-flight reflex is closely correlated with our herd reflex.
It's not lost on me that I'm on island as far as my political beliefs are concerned. We're not the same. You proved that on Tuesday. What bothers me about it is feeling like I don't have a country, like I no longer have anything in common with my classmates, like I don't belong anymore.
Scientifically, I no longer have a heard. For scientific reasons, that has me TOTALLY triggered.
I promise you that I'm trying to deal with it. I'm not sure what that looks like yet, but I've got to make some changes because it's unhealthy to stay this furious for this long.
