Emotional problem/Rational Answer- Journal 9

Solving an emotional problem with a rational approach can be kinda hard for me.  I tend to blow things out of proportion by being very irrational and using dramatic examples and stories.  They are usually a lot bigger than normal, but it gets the point across.  One example of when someone was emotional is when they break up with a boyfriend or girlfriend they have had for a couple months because the other cheated on them.  The person tends to be emotional the scale of it just depends on the gender and person it is.  Both are usually emotional because the person who cheated made a mistake and was stupid.  One way to solve this problem is by talking to both of the people and convincing them that it was all just a mistake and they should consider talking to each other, working things out, saying they were sorry, forgiving each other, and getting back together promising it will never happen again.  If this is not possible you can talk to them convincing them to at least be friends since they have already shared so much of their lives with each other.  If this too is unavoidable then you can result to the casual yet serious, "there is someone else out there for you" phrase.  This usually works and helps the person out a lot just hearing it even though they know it.  Hearing it always gets their courage up and make them feel better.  It would be good to intertwine a seriousness about what happened and how to make sure the person is right for you more before officially dating.  This is the perfect way to a great friend to someone and puts a meaning to being there for someone.  I would do it for my best friends like nathan, caleb, ben, connor, josh, etc. in a heartbeat and I hope they would do the same for me if I ever needed it in return.  I cant even imagine how much it would mean to me.
