Anger.

                If anyone is good at harboring things inside, it's me. After a couple of nasty comments or irritating situations,I shut down. My two biggest anger triggers are: receiving attitude, and being ignored.
                 Attitude
         Who is better at giving attitude but a young adult? We are the masters of mood swings, and unexplainable lash outs. Attitude is just the most juvenile thing. Where does anybody think they're getting with it? All it does is make someone else feel shitty and irritated. Giving attitude is the most pointless fighting strategy on the planet. It gets relationships absolutely nowhere. It's like someone thinks they're doing me a favor by letting me know they're annoyed with me. So I get the heads up to apologize or suck up, so this person will start being pleasant to me again. Thanks for the consideration.
                Being Ignored
           This is the one that really gets me. Whether it be intentional ignoring to let someone know they're mad at me, or extremely rude ignoring because someone just doesn't find me or what I'm saying interesting enough; it makes me so angry.
              If you ignore people for long periods of time to make them get the point that you are displeased with them, THEN YOU ARE AN IDIOT. You look like an asshole when you ignore people, plain and simple. Instead of wasting your life ignoring someone, in an attempt to make them miss you so much that they just can't bear it anymore(sarcasm), why don't you try-I don't know..talking to them? The more you ignore someone, the more irritated or anxious they get, that's a fact. I don't know why you'd like to put someone through that(Unless they've really hurt you)But either way, resolve things. Ignoring people doesn't only hurt other people, it hurts you. You don't need things like this sitting on your conscience for long or even short periods of time, it only does harm.
             If you ignore people when they're talking to you, then you seriously need to stop it. It's disrespectful, hurtful, and rude. When I speak, I don't do it so I can talk to myself-I do enough thinking already, those are the thoughts I'd like to keep to myself. When someone is speaking, give them the decency to listen to them. Don't ignore them for a text message, or someone sitting next to you who seems more interesting. That's not fair to them at all. And when someone is opening up to you, telling you how they feel, or confessing something personal, you'd better be listening. I'm not fucking around. How can we expect people to continue to want to open up to us, if we can't even listen to them? This is important. These conversations are how relationships grow, and if people continue to be shallow and unable to pay attention, others wont be able to trust us, and we wont be graced with those moments anymore.
             Oh right, this blog is about anger. Obviously not one of the nicest feelings. One piece of advice I can give to you about how to deal about anger, is don't harbor it. Keeping these feelings bottled up doesn't feel good. When you're having a bad day, and your friends are being nasty or irritating, and your parents don't understand you, and your teachers decide to make you feel like an idiot; don't let it get to you. These things don't matter as much as you think they do, these moments are actually pretty meaningless. Don't waste your emotions on them, you have better things to be focusing on. At the end of the day, just let it all release. Don't let it stay with you. Somehow, someway, let it out; and end it there.
