Why the Human Mind needs Catharsis and Reconciliation

I have regretted letting people who were insignificant in my life get to my head and I let them tear me down. I dream that I was back in those same shoes and be able to stand up for myself, but I can’t go back. Now I wish that my past self could say something, and I wish that time in my past could change and I wouldn’t feel so embarrassed anymore for what I didn’t say. I guess now whenever I see someone in the same boat that I was in when these moments of regret I try to stand up for them, almost like I’m standing up for myself because it's not like I can randomly just stand up to the person who made me fill with regret without having reasoning.

I need catharsis because sometimes the reality that my regrets will never be undone is too intense for my mere human mind. People need to have a positive emotional reaction to certain things, with a negative reaction only occurring once in a while. Without these positive reactions, the dark monsters of the subconscious can over power the brain, causing mental health problems and other issues.

People need reconciliation because people's biggest fear is being alone, and the mind knows that is unhealthy for it, so we reach out to others, even while knowing what caused the separation in the first place. It also is to do with the fact that we are constantly trying to undo our past actions of what may have caused the separation in the first place.Plus, when you truly care for someone, it seems impossible to be separated from the for a long time, and if they feel the same way, then it is likely there will be a reunion.
