I prefer taking a few of them with me so to speak. You know misery loves company.
Actually I just vent for my own benefit and the comic relief of others.
Good question....since I have been in this state for the past couple of days. And first off, I do want to apologize to PEF....I do tend to take it out on him quite a bit and he is a saint for putting up with it. So to answer the question, regrettably, yes.
Cindy I want to know YOUR answer to this!
I usually take it out on someone and then feel horrible. And usually it isn't the world I am mad at, but myself, when I really think about it.
It can go either way which is probably worse than one way or the other because I'm unpredictable. I usually don't get "mad at the world" anymore though, so if I'm mad at someone specifically, I try to work it out with them. If I'm in a funk or blue or sad, I tend to withdraw until I can figure out what's going on in my head. But being in my head is sometimes a very dangerous neighborhood for me to hang out in for too long! LOL
I hope I do not take it our on others - but I am sure I am guilty of that sometimes.
I try to avoid others when I am like that - that is why I am a hermit.
Now for something completely different - a great holiday greeting sure to offend noone - this is to be laughed at, not taken seriously:
For My Politically Correct and Socially Conscious Acquaintances:
Please accept with no obligation, implied or implicit, my best wishes for an environmentally conscious, socially responsible, low-stress, non-addictive, gender-neutral celebration of the winter solstice holiday, practiced within the most enjoyable traditions of the religious persuasion of your choice, or secular practices of your choice, with respect for the religious/secular persuasion and/or traditions of others, or their choice not to practice religious or secular traditions at all.
I also wish you a fiscally successful, personally fulfilling and medically uncomplicated recognition of the onset of the generally accepted calendar year 2007, but not without due respect for the calendars of choice of other cultures whose contributions to society have helped make America great. Not to imply that America is necessarily greater than any other country nor the only America in the Western Hemisphere ...
Also, this wish is made without regard to the race, creed, color, age, physical ability, religious faith or sexual preference of the wishes.
By accepting these greetings, you are accepting the aforementioned terms as stated. This greeting is not subject to clarification or withdrawal. It is freely transferable with no alteration to the original greeting. It implies no promise by the wisher to actually implement any of the wishes for herself/himself/others, and is void where prohibited by law and is revocable at the sole discretion of the wisher.
This wish is warranted to perform as expected within the usual application of good tidings for a period of one year or until the issuance of a subsequent holiday greeting, whichever comes first, and warranty is limited to replacement of this wish or issuance of a new wish at the sole discretion of the wisher.
hmmmm....avoidance is usually a good policy. I try not to be around people when I'm really "losing it" until I can breathe sanely again. I pity a few clerks and drivers who've been in my way in the past.
The old adage of "sleeping on it" usually helps me calm down and be able to look at whatever made me angry in a new light. Heck, it's only taken me 47 years to finally start to figure this out.
okay, I now accept Bronco's PC wishes.
Now for another side: I wish you all a very happy Christmas or Chanuka or Kwanza, and I pray all your wishes come true. May your new year be ahppy and prosperous because we do live in the greatest nation.
Now, as to the Q of the D: I've never been allowed to be mad at the day. Now that I'm certifiably an adult, and I've endured what I've endured, I can admit to what I am taking! When I'm mad at the world, I'm usually hurt by the world, so I withdraw. I don't want to hurt anyone by the angry words I might say. When that happens, I know I'm capable of angry, hurtful words, so it's best I'm alone to pout and get over it.
Hugs to you all!
Personally I am thoroughly offended by Bronco's PC Wishes! Why? Cause I can be! he he he
PEF, I'm offended by your offence.
I really don't do either one. I just tend to mouth off about it anyone and everyone I see until I get it out of my system. I don't really take it out on anyone, but they are forced to listen to me for a while, which may be even worse. LOL
I prefer to avoid people if I am mad at the world. I would like to just hide. But sometimes I have to "hurt" people just so they will leave me alone!!
And other times, due to my job, I can't hide ... so I try really hard to not take it out on others ... on those occasions I just let everyone around me know up front that I am in a BAD MOOD and you mess with me at your own risk!!!
Both - I have taken it our on people, and I have withdrawn in order not to take it out on people.
