The point is more that she was incapable of relativizing whatever emotion she was experiencing. What she has learned at the end of the movie is that something can be sad (a) without it being the end of the world and (b) while also having an upside at the same time. | |

Riley had encountered sadness before, but up until then her emotions had always been one-dimensional. Sad things were the WORST thing. Happy things were the BEST thing. Fearful things were the SCARIEST thing. Anger was directed at the WORST person ever. But now, she learns that one memory can be both happy and sad at the same time (= bittersweet). This requires both happiness (celebrating with friends) and sadness (having missed the essential shot) to occur at the same time. | |
