I personally am affected by just about everything someone says, for better or worse. My therapist told me no emotion is wrong, it's what you *do* with it that matters. That concept is not directly related to this, but it reinforces the idea in me that we cannot control our emotional reaction to what other people do or say. We can control our *behavioral* reaction, but emotions are not so controllable. I guess some people can do that, I can't.

For goodness' sake, I saw a raccoon that had just been killed on the side of the road last night, and *that* makes me sad! If someone I cared about or respected said something bad to me, I'd be hurt! Period.
