S3 Episode 3 - The Emoji

If you share a piece of life-changingly amazing good news with a
close friend, lover, parent or sibling, and they respond simply
with one yellow smiley face emoji and no words at all, is that
innately grudgeworthy? Could and should they have done better? Is a
diagnosis of envy any sort of mitigation? Or are you the one guilty
of grudgeworthy behaviour in that scenario — for failing to take
the happy emoji at smiley-face value? Sophie and psychotherapist
Helen Acton discuss The Inadequate Congratulations Grudge and its
sister type, The Withholding of Praise Grudge, and discuss the
teachings of American life coach Brooke Castillo, who believes all
circumstances are neutral and that we can always choose what we
want to make them mean.
