Anger has its place. I wasn't allowed to be angry. My mother will deny up and down that she is angry to this day. It's not a great approach.
We have to see the chimp playing hockey! That's hilarious! The ice is so slippery, and, and monkeys are all irrational. We have to see this!

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
BTW, feeling uncomfortable and or afraid around people expressing anger, also valid feelings.
I am such a Californian in some ways.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Absolutely.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I am uncomfortable and or afraid around people expressing anger, and yet? I am SO ANGRY myself. I think most of my depression/anxiety is from not being able to deal with my own anger.

I recommend certain martial arts and boxing classes for getting out anger. Punching a big bag is GOOD TIMES.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
In one of our neighboring towns, I recently discovered that my favorite barista is also a krav maga instructor. The SO's therapist is in that town, so I joked that we'd go there and he could do talk therepy and I could hit people and we'd both come out happier.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Spring seems to have arrived here. After a foggy morning, the sun is shining and it's warm(well, 50s, but I'll take that). I'm still giving March the side-eye for all the snow.

Because books.
Some days I want to go to a flea market and buy old dishes for change, so I could smash them, but I would have to clean them up, which seems less cathartic.
I was pretty much the one who taught my family how to get angry and survive it. Before that, it was you never express anger to each other, and you never even directly address the source of your anger (talking to other people instead), but there was a whole lot of flipping the bird at other drivers or railing at the IRS or whatever.
