A thought.

So the other day, I had a conflict with someone who will be left anonymous. This person was very adamant about being right and I know that I did what I was supposed to do and therefore there should not be any conflict. But when this person is convinced they are right, there is no convincing them otherwise. And the other factor is that I am pretty damn stubborn and if I am trying to prove a point. You WILL get it. :)

But during that conflict, my stomach was churning. I wasn't hungry though. It was like the frustration and anger were taking over. It was no longer a mere emotion. My body was physically responding to the situation. And that's happened before. But for a different emotion. I have felt physically ill from jealousy and fear.

Does that happen to other people? Do you have physical responses to intense emotions?

I'm curious.

I have also experienced those physical changes after a heated discussion. Thankfully, like Pavlov's dog, my mind has been conditioned to disengage from arguments before my body reacts that way.

it is your adrenal gland that over produces adrenaline duting times of emotional changes and stress. it can make you physically sick.

Obviously you are mature enough to know that old adage "never argue with an idiot in public, people watching may not be able to tell the difference."
