I saw the orthopedic doctor today. My arm is in a brace. My mood is in the toilet. A young woman at my job walked in and threw keys at me. THIS WAS NOT THE DAY FOR HER TO ACT LIKE A JACKASS. I did my job and when we were done, I calmly explained the issue. She got loud, I walked away as I could tell she wasn't going to listen. I was fuming and usually walk away and then I stopped. I was telling her off in my head but thought about what I can say and not get in trouble. I told her, I don't appreciate her tone and she needed to check her attitude. I knew that would be ok with Human Resources.
I was in pain and pissed off. I hate confrontation so much that I don't engage, I flee. I SAID SOMETHING.
I have a lifetime of not standing up for myself. I never learned how to be angry. I am afraid to let even a little bit out. I know I have rage inside and I don't know if I can let it out without letting my crazy out and end up back in the hospital. I feel stupid when I get angry.
