Karen

“Karen” videos crack me up. They lose their mind, slide deep into their lizard brain and are in scorched earth mode. What got them there is never available unless you want to spend half a day reaching out to said Karen. So you accept the thin depiction and laugh at the spectacle.

It’s hilarious because we often feel the same way. Karen likely has been keeping things at bay. She’s been tolerant for a very long time. She’s been “patient” as the frustrations accrue.

A better approach is keeping short accounts with these frustrations. Stuffing them delays the inevitable. Stuff them long enough and you lose your shit. Patience is a virtue but a well placed boundary combined with gentle confrontation will keep you integrated.  

Being endlessly tolerant will increase your chances of going viral.
