The feelings that the situation I described before, when meeting a person on a street, arouses in you, depends entirely on how you see yourself and how you feel at that moment. Often we do interpret the situation seeing it from our own poit of wiev and when doing so we do not take into account that you can never actually know what the other people think.
The reaction to the other's behavior depends on the story we tell ourselves, the internal discussion within us that constantly interpret what we see and hear. If you do not feel good when the situation occurs, you probably interpret it as that the other person deliberately ignores you, he doesn´t want to see you. That is probably your inner monologue telling that. However, if you feel well that day, you might think that the other person probably did not see you because he was sunk in his thoughts or something like that. Yet, this is about exactly the same situation, it's just your inner voice, which acts as a critic or as a friend and informs you what to feel.
Since this works like this it should of course be perfectly possible to determine what the inner voice, or "old man in the machine" may issue. If your answer is no, it means you can not choose what you think of ... right?
Remember: your thoughts are your thougths and only thoughts, not a reality, and you are the one who is controlling your own thinking!
