Reactaholics

This is the extreme form of emotional reactivity. What happens is that:

• We tend to recall past disputes with revised dialogues (when they said this, I should've said that);
• We imagine arguments that haven't taken place yet; and
• We feel that other people make us angry and are trying to get on our nerves.

Emotional reactivity spreads as quickly as lightning due to the salience of negative emotions and their vast contagion.
