What is the most trivial event that would drain your resilience and make you go “life sucks and universe hates me”? And how would you objectively rate it on a scale of 1-100 where 1 is a paper cut and 100 is say an aggressive terminal cancer diagnosis? Eg: “lost phone, 15/100”

The number is rhetorically some sort of objective measure of severity in my model even if it doesn’t cause the most severe subjective reaction. Also it’s not a single event but a complex one whose implications sink in over lots of more concrete events as it progresses.

Yea I feel u. For me losing my keys a while ago felt like 20-30, maybe more. Not actually a massive inconvenience since I have spares, but it felt like a deep personal failure on my part (used to lose stuff a lot as an absent-minded kid, then thought I was done with that)
