Twelve years ago, if someone attacked me, I wouldn't let them get away with it. I'd take them on. I now perceive my job to include allowing people to vent their rage.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I get angry when people bring derisory actions against me.
I put myself out there; it's part of my job, and I get it: people will attack me. At first I was thrown off, but now I have a pretty thick skin about it.
I accrued anger from people's low opinion of me and my work, and for the work I might be capable of.
Obviously I'm not a violent person; I don't like violence, but I would definitely go into defending myself if the situation arose.
When some people get angry, they turn into victims, but when I get angry, I turn to action.
For a long time I thought I could deal with my anger and hostility on my own. But I couldn't. I denied that it had affected me, and yet I was so frantic on the inside with other people: I needed to be constantly reassured.
Okay, well, I guess I'm still a kid. Because when I get really angry and fired up and I feel like my back is up against the wall, I will say vicious things.
If people think I'm angry, I don't want to burst anybody's bubble. I like sometimes for people to be afraid of me. But it's not really anger; it's discipline.
You can't tolerate anybody attempting to threaten or intimidate your body. You must respond with force.
Don't hit people; don't let it get you too angry; remember that everything you do can and will be used against you. And take a breath and have some perspective.
