Angry tears
Whenever I get really, really, angry … I start crying.
I hate it.
There I am, all full of fury and indignation, and all I want is to melt the object of that fury with the hot heat coming out of my eyes. But, when I go to speak … there’s that crack in my voice.
And then the sniffles.
And before I can get all the way through whatever biting accusation I’m working on at the time, those full-fledged, heaving tears have started.
And the effect is ruined.
And the person who was supposed to be squirming from shame is instead looking at me, concerned. Moving into comfort mode. And that just pisses me off more!
So I cry even harder!
And so nobody ever really gets how truly fierce I am …
I hate it.

I get the same thing, I cry most often when I am angry and/or frustrated, and the last thing I want is someone trying to comfort me. I just want whatever it is, to work/go away, etc. I sympathise

I do exactly the same thing! I used to do it at work especially, and I am NOT a fan of workplace crying at all but inevitably when I would be reprimanded for soemthing (that usually wasn’t my fault, lol) I would cry like a baby when I got angry about it.
Ah, the hormones of a woman

Look on the bright side. At least you don’t get the farts too. That would be truly embarassing.
The next time you get riled why don’t you unobtrusively pinch yourself to move you out of the “cycle” of caving in before you are able to express yourself fully. Just a thought.

I do this too. I get mad, I cry. And then, I’m pissed that I’m crying, so I cry even more! I think sometimes that victims of my wrath are subject to even more wrath than they deserved, just because I’m getting even more worked up about not being able to carry off a good mad without my eyeballs leaking.

Heh. Yes, I never thought of it that way. At least I
dont get the farts. And thats a philosophy that could be applied to so many other areas in life. Yes, it sucks. But at least I didnt get the farts …
(ps I really do know how to use an apostrophe … bnut every time I try to use it, a find bar comes up in my browser and I am unable to type)
