Why You Snap Over Small Things (And What It's Really About)

Why do you snap over small things? You can hear your own tone going too far — over a pan in the sink, a reply that took too long — and some part of you knows it's too much, but you can't stop. This episode of Self Full is for anyone who keeps ending up in the same argument and can't work out where to start fixing it. Wilson Huang explains why the reaction fires before you decide, like an airbag going off, and why the reason you give yourself always arrives second.

You'll get three tools: Check the Size (put what actually happened next to how big your reaction was, and look at the gap), Line Up the Week (once a week, list everything that genuinely bothered you and find the theme underneath), and Say the Smaller Thing (go back within a day and tell them what it was really about — not an apology, the real reason).

For anyone who's tired of the person next to them paying for something they didn't cause. You're not in the wrong, and you don't need to become someone who never overreacts — you just need to get better at saying what's underneath it. You are not broken. New episodes every week.
