I have a chip on my shoulder about people saying “I feel” about non-emotions.
“I feel scared and angry.”
“I feel attacked.” 

“I feel like you are attacking me.”
I can tell by the way I react that I’m overreacting, but I think there’s some there there too.

one of my go-to examples of this is when google published their findings that “psychological safety” is one of the main factors in successful teams. great, i believe this. but once it becomes an explicit norm, everything goes haywire....

people learn that they can say “i feel psychologically unsafe” and get taken really seriously. then they start focusing on that feeling, and learn to be really sensitive to it. when thin-skinnedness gets weaponized, people naturally respond by developing thin skins :(
