I'm good at finding the middle ground, at getting two furious people to a deal they can both live with. But I soak up their bitterness all day long, and I'm supposed to stay unattached to how it all turns out. Some evenings I get home and realize I'm still carrying anger that was never even mine.
More people experience this than they realize.
You absorb everyone's bitterness all day while staying detached from how it ends, and it wears on you.
