Focusing by Eugene T. Gendlin is a good framework of handling emotions.

I try to just keep reminding myself that it's simply an optimization problem.

Dealing with your own emotions as an optimization issue is seldom the best approach.

Sorry, I meant that the situation is an optimization problem. Like I'm trying to get something out of the people.

Here are some different descriptions of a scenario:

That person is stupid.
That person is making a mistake.
That person is not doing what I want them to do.
I and that person are failing to come to terms that would be mutually beneficial to us.

Do these elicit different reactions?
