☹ Feeling Sad • 3 weeks, 1 day ago

Does anyone here feel like they are never angry enough? I am a 22 year old who doesn't feel anger; one minute it's there, the next it's gone. I was in an argument with my boyfriend earlier and he threw words around-words he knows pierce me. I wanted to say something back, but I didn't wanna hurt him (why in the world do I think that when he doesn't??!!?!??) And, I would like to text him, call him, say something to make him feel the way I feel, but I can't, I'm not angry, I'm sad and I love him...why would I do that to someone I love? During the argument, my anger kept fading into sadness. Sad that he was talking to me like that, using those adjectives, sad that he thought of me the way he said he does or did at that time, sad that he gets pissed, talks hogwash and I can't do anything about it, I just stand there and take it, I just kept replaying the words and sometimes I asked him what he meant, how he could say such things to me and that made things worse (he doesn't hit me, he just talks, he's never hit me before) and i don't know if I can put up with his attitude any longer. He doesn't even understand why I hate it when he does that. I keep complaining and it's as though I talk too much, I nag What if he doesn't change? Can you guys tell me if guys who don't act like that exist?(My dad talks BS when he's angry, so do my brothers)

    I really understand your feelings. I think firstly what you should do is communicate with them and tell them how much it hurts you. I also understands what it means to have anger that doesn't last. Its a bad and a good thing, you just need to communicate to the whoever caused the anger and vent your anger on them before it dies down. Sorry stranger, you will be fine

    You need to find a way to communicate your feelings else they might never understand how you feel and you could be taken for granted if care is not taken
