No. Being able to control our emotions isn’t “luck.”
We all have the capacity to control our responses. In fact, this is the only thing we do have control over.
The solution isn’t to “stop paying attention to your emotion.” The solution is to do a better job of paying attention to and managing it.
Our emotions are first and foremost our own responsibility. And for as much “emotional labor” as some claim to be doing, if we are still struggling with things like this, we should instead be doing more emotional work.
