How about you?
Here are academic theories about how we handle discomfort.
- Cognitive Dissonance: we try to reduce the discomfort of dissonance.
- Actor-Observer Difference: others' behavior caused by disposition, ours by situation.
- Confirmation Bias: we seek confirmation that we made a good decision.
- Escape Theory: We seek to escape uncomfortable realities.
- Hindsight Bias: we pretend we knew everything all along.
- Insufficient Punishment: we devalue forbidden activity to reduce dissonance.
- Informational Social Influence: when we are uncertain we copy others.
- Ironic Reversal: we cannot avoid thinking about things we want to avoid thinking about.
- Minimal Justification Principle: we justify what can't be explained rationally.
- Overjustification Effect: we attribute too externally for some events.
- Positivity Effect: we attribute disposition to good things about ourselves.
- Post-Decision Dissonance: after a decision we think it was a good one.
- Prospect Theory: we value certain gains and try to avoid certain losses.
- Regret Theory: we consider and try to avoid future regret.
- Risk Preference: we seek risks around losses and avoid risks around gains.
- Selective Exposure: we avoid what will cause dissonance about a decision.
- Self-Discrepancy Theory: we need beliefs to be consistent.
- Self-Serving Bias: we take credit for success and deny failure.
- Social-Role Theory: men and women fall into expected roles.

All I've ever do is say good bye.
Lets keep things organized this time. If not now, when?
Only then all of it can be sorted out.
