Every negative emotion I have, I’m told to go to therapy.

Negative emotions are human!

Why have we, as a society, grown to fear them?

    It depends on how you manage those negative emotions. Not that you are having negative emotions.

      Tbh, there’s been people who have judged me just for being frustrated or mad about something, even if I didn’t act on it. Turns out a lot of people just suck.

        Sure, people don’t like to be around negativity. But have they repeatedly told you that you should seek therapy like OP?

        Mmm, did they read your mind, or did your expression of your frustration warrant a response. (Doesn’t mean it’s fair. just adding maybe some nuance, but often people do suck)
