About This Quote

Most people think everybody feels about them much more violently than they actually do they think other people's opinions of them swing through great arcs of approval or disapproval People frequently tell me that they feel like their feelings of rage, jealousy, and resentment are never going to change. By thinking that way, they leave themselves more vulnerable to negative feelings. They may not realize it, but the only person who can change their feelings is them.
