Ahh my friend as a student of the mind and psychology.. I happen to know that isn't true.. there ARE in fact may known positive effects on our mental well-being when we engage in behaviour that externalises, rather than internalises how we feel...
Personally my excuse is neither - I just enjoy Trump bashing
And let's remember.. this was a light-hearted post.. it was clearly laid out so, meant to be funny, to take a poke at those who take the whole thing too seriously... for sure there are those who sometimes do that and get right peeved if anyone dares to say something less than positive about the leader... I am sure you wouldn't dream of suggesting that I have a mental illness that I am somehow not accepting re Trump?

Obsession becomes an illness. Use negative emotions to fuel positive actions. Internal to external.

Lol oh so you mean like if I *had* an obsession I might take my negative emotions and go get a gun shoot Trump... that would be VERY Positive lol it would rid the world of a useless vile and potentially dangerous human being.. lol . I like your thinking use negative emotions to fuel positive actions.. Good thing I don't have an obsession then huh?
And yes, of course we weren't talking about me having an obsession were we? That's a clinical diagnosis, or a professional one.. and surely you don't think it applies to me now do you? Or are you trying to suggest it does?
Do you not feel all this talk about obsession is somewhat over the top in response to a post that was clearly mean't to be humorous? It is a strong word when associated with what was clearly a humorous post? Are you not taking this a bit too seriously? Someone says some TRUE things about Trump, and makes a joke about Trump bashing and they are assumed to be obsessive?
Interestingly, and maybe you didn't know this.. but the term obsessive can sometimes be used in a manipulative way such as when one is seeking to belittle or vaguely insult someone else.. it's used as a kind of suggestive slur; the suggestion that someone is may have a mental illness because they say something one doesn't like..it's an attempt to make them feel bad, to intimidate them... Of course none of that applies to you or I.. we are way more sane and sensible aren't we.
Psychology is fascinating stuff huh and it's interesting how you seem to suggest that Trump bashing is associated with emotion... interesting perspective.. I wonder how you came to that conclusion, on what you base it.. Personally I just base what I say on fact and a bit of Trump bashing is just the icing on the cake - a sideline so to speak.

You can be really witty when you try :) No, I don't think so but I am suspecting it might help a bit.. if we all take half an hour a day out of our busy schedules to post an insult about the hideous behaviour of the angry orangutan then we would all feel so much better :P
