I feel the same way sometimes. There are times when I really can't see how it should be considered a problem at all. That's why the sticky thread about reasons not to. Sometimes it gets very hard to think of any.

SI does keep us from dealing with emotions and situations in more effective ways. It keeps us stuck. And sets a poor example of emotional management for others (children, etc.) who are aware that we do it and reason that if it's ok for us, it must be ok for them too. We don't teach them more effective coping and emotional management either.
