For Meh to Angry in 6 days...
So I have passed my stage of meh and now have achieved a state of perpetual irritation.
Not really sure that's an improvement.
And yeah, I have reasons for being angry and no, I'm not going to share them. It seems...I dunno, gauche or something.
And no, the reasons don't equate to the actual level of anger I'm feeling, or at least the persistent nature of it. However, that doesn't mean I don't think the reasons are valid.
Here's a hint to getting along, folks...consideration. Think of what others might want, how they might react, and so on. So much anger in our society is not I think intentionally sought by those who make us angry...they just don't think about it.
And for god's sake when someone tells you they're upset or angry...try and make it up to them if you want them to feel you value them and their relationship with you. If they wanted to go to that show you didn't bother to ask you to and you really should have known better then bring them back a program, autograph, or something. Or spring for tickets next time its in town or whatever. It's a nice way tangible to say "Hey, despite me totally not thinking of you in that case I am now."
Especially if the person you've ticked off tends to do the same for you. Because as someone currently fighting a tide of negativity let me just say those little things actually matter. And not doing those things actually help piss already irritable people off more.
But I've probably said more than I should on the matter, despite keeping names and all out of it. And I'd feel bad about what I've said so far...except well, I'm angry.
