Self-Responsibility for Emotions: Clara must choose to collaborate with Chen or stick to her plan.

Clara and Chen are working on a school project together at Clara's home. Clara is excited about their idea, but Chen suggests a different approach that might improve their work. Clara feels upset by Chen's suggestion, interpreting it as criticism of her idea. She starts to think Chen doesn't value her input. As they discuss, Clara remembers a lesson on how our feelings are influenced by our opinions about events, not the events themselves. She realizes she can choose to see Chen's suggestion as a chance to improve their project, rather than as a personal attack. Clara now faces a choice: (A) express her feelings and work collaboratively with Chen, or (B) ignore Chen's suggestion and stick to her original plan.
