I tend to hate it when people say things like “Geez!”, “it wasn’t that serious”, or “what’s your problem?” when I get angry or upset about something, especially if someone hurt my feelings. They don’t get how serious or how badly the situation hurt me, and they just tell me to “take it easy” or “But you didn’t have to get angry like that”. I remember when I was in school, people used to say things like this to me, even when I was getting bullied or made fun of. I got angry because it hurt me and I’m a very sensitive person. I was hurt a lot in the past, by people at school and by family (especially my mom). I remember in middle school, a girl told me that I was “scary” because I used to get angry a lot, and what she said kinda impacted me. I graduated from high school 2 years ago and I don’t get angry like I used to, but these memories of people calling me “scary” and saying things like “What’s wrong with her?” still pop into my head sometimes, and it makes me feel like I’m a monster.
