Feelings about feelings triggered by others' feelings.

"Meta-Feelings - Refers to the feelings we have about our own emotions. Humans have the unique ability to reflect on their own mental states. This self-awareness allows us to evaluate our feelings. We often assess whether our emotions are appropriate or acceptable based on personal values or societal norms."

Isn't that so called "growing-up"? To learn what feelings should one have about own emotions so that he is motivated or driven to do what his society expect him to do. That then makes him accepted and integrated. Teenagers often struggle with their weirdness and it takes time to build up and pile up the "right" feelings over the own emotions.

Teenagers are generally in a particularly tricky phase because:

• Their emotions are intense, through hormones and new experiences.
• They're not yet skilled at meta-feelings. They don't yet know how to label or evaluate their emotions against social expectations.
• They're testing the waters of individuality versus conformity. "Weirdness" might feel like an unfiltered form of identity, but social push-back makes them realize they must tweak their reactions.

So we end-up having feelings about feelings triggered by others' feelings and back. Your sadness might make someone feel guilt, which triggers their anger, which makes you feel regret, which drives you crazy...

Understanding this roller-coaster ping-pong pattern can help us recognize how our own judgments about our own emotions influence our behavior. And the most important of all - that all is in our own heads. Meaning within our own reach and mastery. The question left here is: How does the training plan looks like? Must be fully emotionally loaded! Is emotional drive for meaning and purpose the guide?
