This reminds me of something I thought of a while back, that I’d like to start doing again now that I’ve remembered it. Whenever I sense myself getting unfairly annoyed at someone (which happens a lot) I try to imagine that I’m watching a movie in which that person is the protagonist. I imagine that I know what their story and struggles are, and that I’m rooting for them every step of the way. Now that I’m getting into fiction writing, I might also try imagining that I’m writing them as a character, which has the same vibe as the other techniques. The one time I’ve actually tried this so far, it worked really well!
