I got pissed at a receptionist and said vile things to her and belittled her because I felt like she wasn’t helping me. I get angry, lash out, and hurt people. I can’t believe the things I said

One can never get better while condemning one’s self. Take this as an opportunity to be honest with yourself and to begin to heal. Investigate why you lash out. Is it rooted in poor self esteem? Do you feel that you have a “right” to be helped? What expectations do you have of others that are maybe unfair and are preventing you from living your life with more peace? Overcoming anger issues (or whatever u want to call it) like this is difficult, but worth it.

I really am working on my anger issues. This situation today showed me how important it is that I get myself under control. Every time I say something hurtful to someone it’s because I lost sight of empathy. The mentality that made me so angry today was not being able to understand why she wouldn’t help me when it seemed so easy to do so. I should have put myself in her shoes

If I wasn’t so afraid of pissing people off I might be in your shoes. I’m glad you’re this self-aware, I know so many people who aren’t. I really think you should call and apologise if you haven’t already. And maybe talk to someone about this. Even if it’s only sometimes. It might be very easy for a therapist to figure out why you have trouble with this and help you gain control over the emotions yk. It’s your responsibility, not your fault. Be kind to yourself 💜
