Default scratching an itch

I think going with the bad feelings sometimes is like getting to scratch an itch that you've been trying to ignore for awhile. Like a mosqito bite. If you scratch it though, it keeps itching, and then you scratch it again, and again, until it becomes an open sore. Keep picking at it and it gets worse.

I know it gives a very temporary feeling of relief to scratch, but only prolongs the itch. My advice? Just like the mosquito bites, don't give in to the erge to scratch it, and it statrs to go away much faster.
