I don't want to pass myself off as the purveyor of darkness. I'm fine with things I know I can't control - it's the ones that I can that get to me. If we go on a trip and the car breaks down, my husband instantly assumes the "why me" mantle of Job. I roll with this type of thing far better because I know that brooding about something that you can't control will make you and everyone around you miserable.

I'm far less likely to overreact to "events" than to personal encounters - a look, a tone of voice, body language, a nasty remark from one of my teenage children. Those events I do overreact to are those that I think are of my own creation - like being overloaded at work, or not getting a bill paid, or a letter mailed.

I'm not sure how this fits into your example.
