Minding my business. My mother is bored. And within five minutes, her inability to sit with that feeling will become my emergency.</p><p>This is the discomfort intolerance epidemic. People who can't tolerate uncomfortable feelings for even 30 seconds, so they externalize them until everyone else is managing their emotions for them.</p><p>In this episode, I share the pattern I kept seeing everywhere and the three tools that changed everything:</p><p><strong>Tool #1: The Feelings Return Policy</strong> - Stop accepting delivery of their discomfort</p><p><strong>Tool #2: The Compassionate Witness</strong> - Stay present without absorbing</p><p><strong>Tool #3: The Comfort Detox</strong> - Reset your nervous system after exposure</p><p>You're not imagining this. You're not too sensitive. You've been managing other people's emotional regulation your whole life. And that was never your job.</p><p>Their discomfort is not your emergency.
