"Coping styles have been classified as problem solving (taking direct action to solve a problem) versus emotion-focused (taking action to make oneself feel better about a situation one cannot control)."
- Adapted from my HRM reading.

this is something i have been thinking a lot about lately. emotion-focused style of coping. but hardly any action is taken to make myself feel better. i juz pretend that everything is fine, or will be fine. cuz maybe if i pretend hard enough, everything would juz turn out to be really okay.

really?

maybe i haven't fully grasp the idea of coping emotionally.

but pretending sure works for a while.
