This means not just admitting to uncomfortable feelings but then examining your circumstances to see what can be done to change these feelings at the source. Augusten Burroughs
Most of Csongor's time in T'Rain had been spent blundering about in a state of hapless newbie confusion. Only his long experience as a system administrator, struggling with Byzantine software installations, had prevented hum from plummeting into despair and simply giving up.
