over passionate

Jun 18, 2008 21:58

I want to feel free to express that I'm pissed off and when I do im usually overreacting to something but know that I'm overreacting (it feels good). Most people, however, don't trust me when I say I'm in control and get scared of me, which really does piss me off A LOT. This is why I have no girlfriend. People get scared when I express my pissed-off-ness which they shouldn't because I'm expressing my feelings around someone I trust and care about.


I feel like my friend Doug. He tends to get really overly pissed off with things that, granted, would piss most people off, but he overreacts. I do too (just like my mom and dad). Very much so, and its only something I've developed recently. I don't overreact that often (unless im playing certain games). I haven't overreacted in months, and when I do people stop paying attention to what I have to say. I understand what they're feeling, but its particularly annoying when I've calmed down and really do have something valuable to say, but by that point people don't believe that I've calmed down which really does get me pissed off and the cycle continues and grows.

The Catch: Expressing my feelings is both liberating, gratifying, and satisfying. I think everyone should be able to do it and I love encouraging others to do so, but likewise it can be exasperating if you are having to deal with someone who goes off aggressively on tangents. We aren't dangerous but people think we are. We don't hate you but people think we do. We aren't going to kill someone but everyones prepared to call the police.

We know what pisses us off because we take pride in being honest with our feelings (hence feeling free to express them), and the thought that we aren't in control implies that we don't know what we're doing. THAT pisses us off even more.

Best response to use... IGNORE US. Were like children who throw temper tantrums. We don't do it because were going to hurt someone or some thing. So when we do it ignore us and go back to what it is you were doing. Trust me we need you to.
