There are things that we cannot directly influence...It is sometimes unpleasant to admit this. And some people cannot admit or accept thoughts about this at all. As a result, impotent anger arises when a person experiences something like rage, but understands that all his efforts are useless... The topic is deep, but... What to do? For clarity, let's conduct an experiment. Try closing your eyes. Then try closing only one eye. Surely, you did it without much difficulty. Now try making a fist with your right hand, then crossing your arms over your chest. Now I will ask you to do a couple of squats. What is the result of the experiment? You have seen what you can control. This is something that is directly in your control. In addition, you can react to your thoughts, have your own opinion and have the opportunity to change your attitude towards something. For example, in my early childhood I did not understand what was interesting about football and table tennis. When I tried myself in these activities, they drew me in. Surely you too have had cases when you changed your attitude towards something or even changed your decision. (Be sure to write about this in the comments!) Changing your attitude towards a problem situation is a common task in psychological practice. This is also in your control. Accordingly, the other person also has his own thoughts, desires, and criteria when making a decision. He does as he sees fit. If you don’t like something, you can convey it to the person, but there is absolutely no guarantee that he will listen to you. And that's absolutely normal. The only question is what will you do about it with new circumstances that you don’t like. Even under pain of death, some people are not ready to give up their ideas and stories about war heroes confirm this. What can we say about ordinary everyday situations? How often do you encounter powerlessness in trying to change someone or something and how do you experience this moment? Or describe visual situations on this topic that you observed from the outside. I look forward to your comments.
