Oh gods do I know that feeling.DarklordKyo said:There's an event in my life that's been eating at me for nearly a year now, one that could've been avoided if I just bottled things up.
I don't think it's a sign of strength to bottle up, because of how badly it damages you for doing so. I also don't think it's a sign of strength to not be bothered by it either.DarklordKyo said:I have to ask, would it have been a sign of strength, or at least normal human behavior, to have bottled my frustrations up? Was the fact that I blew up a sign that I'm a spoiled, pathetically weak waste of flesh? Am I just whining about first world problems without intending to right now?
There's a middle ground to almost everything. The Twilight Road, rather than Day or Night. Emotional Control. Be able to address people that annoy you, even if in a way that you really like, while being able to continue to express yourself in a dignified manner. That's what I'd say you should be aiming for. Don't stop the pipe, but be mindful of not being able to stop it either. Just keep control to let it flow as evenly as possible.
