Someone is a butthole to you over and over and you get to the point where you kinda lose it, only maybe you really lose it and go too far, and you are a total jerk. Then you can’t be like totally blameless in the situation anymore. They have successfully dragged you into the mud with them but you have to take responsibility for picking it up and throwing it.

I suppose that I have regretted saying things while angry in the past. I think we all make mistakes in speech, though. Including not speaking when we should, sometimes.

Once I let someone push me around so much I ended up fist fighting with them over an expensive wall phone in my college’s parking lot.
What about the phone made me break that all the other stuff didn’t?
I don’t know.
Another time I was in a bad friendship like that I left a ■■■■■ in Vegas.
(She sobered up in a few days and found her way home)
Never happened again.
Just lost my ■■■■.

Rosenthal I think you are right about not speaking when we should. If I were to be better about expressing myself all along the way in life, I wouldn’t get to the point of erupting like I sometimes do.

This is like me and my mom. She has successfully dragged me into the mud, but I’m trying to not yell at her or to anyone else. But now I’m convinced that my life is embarrasing, that everyone is a jerk and don’t deserve compassion or my attention. I just act nice to them though.

I’m so damn scared of the anger issue. I don’t want innocent people people suffer for my anger so I get a load of meds to quell down my anger.

I get this.
People push and push and then act incredulous when “something breaks”.
I hate myself for “keeping score”, but it’s my BIL, who is so cheap.
If he’d just admit he’s scared of the future, or a cynic, then I’d take him in my arms. (EDIT: He maintains hi uber optimistic speech).
I’ve given like 3 grand in clothes to his children. For xmas he got my hand me down coffee that looks worse than Folgers. It’s gathering dust.
It’s unfair, A word that isn’t powerful in argument, but oughtta be!!
But I do get it.
