Thick Skin vs Emotional Algebra | Handling Hate & Comments Online | Emotional AlgebraIn this clip from Emotional Algebra with Dr. E..., Dr. E... breaks down what’s really happening when people attack you in the comments, quote-tweet your words, or throw sarcasm and hate at your posts. Instead of simply saying “grow a thicker skin,” he invites us to look deeper at why people respond the way they do—and what their reactions reveal about their own emotional algebra.Sarcasm, flippancy, aggression, and hate often say more about the commenter’s unmet needs, fear, or insecurity than they do about you. At the same time, Dr. E... reminds us to examine our own emotional algebra: why we feel the need to respond, explain, or defend, and how saying less can sometimes be the most powerful choice.If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by online criticism or misunderstood on social media, this conversation offers a different lens: it’s not just about becoming tougher—it’s about becoming more aware.🔔 Watch the full episode here: [https://youtube.com/@ErikFisherakaDrE]Follow Dr. E... for more insights:📍Instagram: [https://www.instagram.com/dr_e_presents]📍Facebook: [https://www.facebook.com/share/1BkhUS8X4w/?mibextid=wwXIfr]📍LinkedIn: [https://www.linkedin.com/in/doctore]📍TikTok: [https://www.tiktok.com/@dr.epresents]📍Twitter/X: [https://x.com/dctre]📍Spotify Podcast:[https://open.spotify.com/show/3w9W0ZOwfwXkbxeFO5ChWG?si=apAiDAcwTxqhQl-xXWzAoA]#EmotionalAlgebra #DrE #EmotionalIntelligence #SelfAwareness #CommunicationSkills #Mindfulness #ChooseWisely #EmotionalRegulation #ConflictResolution #PersonalGrowth #MentalWellness #HealthyCommunication

Conflict Escalation & Social Pressure | Mental Toll | Rebroadcast S1E5 | Emotional AlgebraIn this episode of Emotional Algebra, Dr. E... and Andrew Tavani unpack what happens when a single press-conference moment becomes a public battleground. One person speaks in front of cameras, a short clip goes online, and suddenly millions of people who were never in the room have something to say. The commentary spreads, opinions multiply, and the speaker is no longer responding to a reporter they’re responding to the entire internet.The pressure doesn’t end when the moment is over. It continues on social media, in quote tweets, in reaction videos, in the endless dissecting of every sentence, every expression, every mistake. What used to be communication becomes branding. What used to be vulnerability becomes ammunition. What used to be a human moment becomes a viral moment.Dr. E... explores how a single statement can trigger embarrassment, humiliation, and fear. Embarrassment says, “I feel exposed.” Humiliation says, “I feel exposed and demeaned.” That difference changes everything. Hierarchies, shame, guilt, and identity collide with expectations and public judgment. At the micro level, one person is just trying to answer a question. At the macro level, millions of people are constructing a narrative about who that person is.Mental health isn’t just about what happens in a specific moment. It’s about living inside a system that rewards outrage, punishes nuance, and never forgets what was said—even after someone has already moved on.Also check out the songs inspired by these same emotional pressuresLouder than noise (R&B Gospel)https://youtu.be/H8gd4evT6HcLouder than noise (new country)https://youtu.be/yQJfRIo-O14Heal our separatenesshttps://youtu.be/u8pYFt2OBa8The Burden: I Am Overwhelm ( Allegorical, Blues Funk)https://youtu.be/_s1dC_ZFovwFollow Dr. E... for more insights: 📌 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dr_e_presents📌 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/share/1BkhUS8X4w/?mibextid=wwXIfr📌 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/doctore📌TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@dr.epresents📌Twitter/X: https://x.com/dctre📌Spotify Podcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/3w9W0ZOwfwXkbxeFO5ChWG?si=apAiDAcwTxqhQl-xXWzAoA#EmotionalAlgebra #ConflictEscalation #PublicPressure #SocialMediaImpact #MentalHealthAwareness #EmbarrassmentVsHumiliation #OnlineCulture #ViralMoments #PublicJudgment #HumanVsBrand #PsychologyOfShame #DrE #EmotionalIntelligence #PressureAndPerformance #NarrativeControl #emotionalspecificity

The Psychology of Polarizing Players | Emotional Algebra In this episode, Dr. E... breaks down why certain players become polarising not just because of talent, but because of what their presence forces others to feel. Some players trigger insecurity, some trigger intimidation, and others trigger the discomfort of being seen. From intensity and aggression to calling out uncomfortable truths, Dr. E... explores the emotional mechanics behind why certain athletes attract admiration, resentment, or both.Polarisation isn’t only about performance it’s about identity, exposure, trauma, and hierarchy.Embarrassment makes us feel weak and exposed.Humiliation makes us feel exposed and demeaned.One leads to discomfort… the other leads to shame, guilt, inadequacy, rejection, judgment, and deep emotional defense.Understanding the difference at the micro level (individual emotion) and the macro level (team dynamics, fan culture, media narrative) helps us see the real psychological forces shaping players, coaches, and the audience.🔔 Watch the full episode here: [https://youtube.com/@ErikFisherakaDrE]Follow Dr. E... for more insights:📍Instagram: [https://www.instagram.com/dr_e_presents]📍Facebook: [https://www.facebook.com/share/1BkhUS8X4w/?mibextid=wwXIfr]📍LinkedIn: [https://www.linkedin.com/in/doctore]📍TikTok: [https://www.tiktok.com/@dr.epresents]📍Twitter/X: [https://x.com/dctre]📍Spotify Podcast:[https://open.spotify.com/show/3w9W0ZOwfwXkbxeFO5ChWG?si=apAiDAcwTxqhQl-xXWzAoA]#EmotionalAlgebra #DrE #EmotionalIntelligence #SelfAwareness #CommunicationSkills #Mindfulness #ChooseWisely #EmotionalRegulation #ConflictResolution #PersonalGrowth #MentalWellness #HealthyCommunication
