You know how babies scream real loud when there’s a slightest thing that makes them unhappy?
If you get a chance to spend a day or at least a few hours alone, try to imitate a baby and scream as loudly and angrily as a baby does whenever you feel any discomfort at all. Avoid any numbing activities (especially the ones that involve screens), listen to yourself, and whenever an unpleasant feeling, thought or memory assaults you, just scream.
If you have high blood pressure especially, this will be very refreshing. But it won’t be easy. The whole process of socialization is about making us comfortable for everybody else and teaching us to swallow discomfort to please others. And by the way, people who go to sports events or rallies where they can use being in the crowd for some socially acceptable screaming are smart. This is a very good thing they are doing for themselves.
