How We and Others Experience Emotions
Summary
- The term emotional monopoly was inspired by a book I read recently, entitled Trust by Hernan Diaz.
- Emotional Monopoly is when we assimilate a current emotional experience to the people around us.
- Example: When something exciting happens to one person, we expect that their response matches ours in kind.
- Two situations we can find this happening and how we can not let the emotional monopoly rule our lives.
- What to do when we feel something different than what the rest of society or culture feels.
