Does anyone else experience the feeling of alienation? And does anyone have a good strategy for dealing with it?

Feeling usually become a problem when you resist them.

My general approach with feelings:

  1. Find someone towards which you can express the content behind the feeling. This works best in person. Online communication isn't good for resolving feelings. Speak openly about whatever comes to mind.

  2. Track the feeling down in your body. Be aware where it happens to be. Then release it.
