When I was in an adolescent drug treatment center in the 1980s—more on that later this week—we were told that the human emotions boiled down to six:
Mad
Sad
Glad
Hurt
Afraid
Ashamed
Five of which, you’ll note, are negative.
On LinkedIn, no matter what someone posts—even if it’s, “I lost my job,” “Some treacherous bastard stole my promotion” or “My beloved mentor died of a massive heart attack this morning”—these are the reactions you’re offered, in response.
Also six:
Glad
Glad
Glad
Glad
Glad
