[mental health] on anger

[hermionesviolin]

There are definitely things I am bad at (dealing with), but I am really grateful that I have no problem being angry -- that I don't feel any guilt or anything around being angry with people, even people I like/love/admire/whatever. (I am often really quick to put myself in the other person's position and rationalize their behavior, but I still don't feel like there's anything wrong with me for being angry with them.)

How are you at letting go of anger?

I told you the other day in my journal that I had mended fences with a friend, and I have and it's good and I'm GLAD, but I'm not quite ready to give up being angry. Basically, he doesn't understand and never will understand why he hurt me; there are only so many ways you can articulate a thing before you realize the incomprehension cannot be broached. And that makes me bitter and irritated. But if I'm going to go forward, I have to get rid of that. I don't need it anyway because it's toxic, but I have no idea how to shed myself of it.

Is it wrong that I feel comfort in company? LOL
