Do you assume responsibility for how you feel or look for the outside cause of a feeling? Is it you, or them? This is the blame game. In my book, Frontal Fatigue. The Impact of Modern Life and Technology on Mental Illness, I talk about the -ed to -able problem. This is part of a larger discussion about how to deal with modern stress. The point here is we are likely to say we are irritated by things rather than irritable, even when the second choice is more likely.
