You’re Feeling the Equation— Not the Event

Most people don’t realize:

Your emotions aren’t random.

They’re the sum of every internal variable you’re not tracking.

An event happens.

You feel something.

But that feeling isn’t just about what happened—

It’s about what it meant to you.

What it reminded you of.

What you’ve been carrying.

Emotion = perception x belief x memory x unmet need x nervous system state

And no one’s solving for that.

They’re just reacting.

You’re not crazy for feeling deeply.

But you are responsible for knowing what your feelings are made of.
