The point is to regulate and control your feelings.

Forcing your self to feel feelings that you think “are right” is a good way to guilt trip yourself into insanity. The reality is feelings are oscillatory, sometimes you love someone to bits, sometimes you are impartial to them, sometimes you want a bit of space. If one is overweighing the others in a way that you think contradicts your proximity to this person then it is time to have an adult conversation but you can’t judge your relation, your self or the other person based on a single moment of feeling you had one morning.

Very well put! I’m always impressed with thoughtful writing that is fluid and natural to follow as a reader. Just curious, do you write a lot?
And on the actual topic, I’d add that observation of such feelings, and their relation to physical, mental, and social events and environment, is often an important starting point. I’ve been surprised myself at how much some pretty simple causality had been obscured by ad hoc constructions. For whatever reason, THC has been quite a tool for me to make those underlying foundations obvious.
