Do you ever feel angry?

Question

I do right now, i feel very angry...

I am not happy, and try to be positive all the time, i hate it, i just want to runaway and live a modest quite life...

But i can't, people expect great things from me... i just want to be left alone. i want a simple life, is that too much too ask for? i want a nice job 9-5 a wife a kid and a small cozy house. but thats unambitious and people hate the unambitious! 

I have ambitions that aren't related to wealth, and those ambitions seem fleeting to the eyes of others...
I don't know, i have been a lot of marxist literture for a class, and its getting to me...
i need to go to sleep

but now that i am done venting... do you ever feel angry?
I am putting this under health and fitness, they better not send me a message saying it belongs other another topic, or i will lose it...

I can completely 100% empathize with you right now, though it's probably for different reasons. I'm actually speechless at how similar I feel to what your original post says.

I was always an optimistic, happy, reassuring person with a direction agreeable to all. I've always been the type to go out of my way for others and mold myself according to what was expected out of me. Recent years in life hardened me and left me bitter like I'd never felt before. Some things happened that warped my entire view of the future, and what you described... just wanting to be happy, working, married with a family and making new traditions together... that's exactly what my new dream for the future is.

With all the noise in life including pressures from family, friends, peers... it feels like it blurs what really matters in life, and that is to find worth in life through happiness and passion. No one can define success for you. We have to find a balance that we're happy with... of satisfying them and satisfying ourselves. Sometimes it involves big decisions others will vehemently protest against, but if those big decisions aren't harmful by objective standards, and they are part of your vision of happiness... I think it's worth it to work towards making it happen. Baby steps. We also just have to accept that in some cases, there's no way to have it all exactly how we want it.

Like wanting the blessings or support of your parents and the happy life with the person you chose, for example. That's not possible for everyone.

I'm sorry to hear you've been feeling that way. I hope things are bit better now. You're free to message me anytime if you need to vent. <3

I totally get how you're feeling, though. I think most people do. You can't be expected to put on a happy face all the time, and I am trying to tell myself that as well. I haven't been in the best of moods for a few months now. Though I'd rather keep things to myself and have others thing I'm happy all the time, it's just not possible. Vent - talk to those close to you. Do things that improve your mood like working out, watching a funny movie or show, take a walk, etc... Separate yourself from those who put you down. Keep yourself around those who support your goals, hopes, and dreams.

I understand, man. I often find American Capitalism to be a huge bummer, too.

We work harder for less money and we're less happy. AND the system is rigged to keep the wealthy wealthy and the poor poor.

I feel you... this is people these days... they hav overactive imaginations... they come up with extreme over the top fantasies about how people should be... they don't ever try to get to know the REAL you, i'm having all kind of problems even with my family trying to make me what they make of me... plus health problems... and they don't understand because it's not a health problem they can see... although my eyes are red in the corners so you kinda can... but they try to make an excuse up over it and say because i don't get out... or some shit like that... people only want to see what they want to and it does get people angry... it gets us all angry... especially when people are so passive-aggressive about things that don't concern them... they just do these things because of how they feel inside, they hate themselves so much so they try to make you feel the same... and having health problems where i can't even beguin to deal with day-to-day stresses then having others on me too makes me pissed beyond anything too... but in their eyes you always the bad person... it's not right i know... i too just want a quiet life, i mean i wanna do some exciting things... but only to have fun... not for some career or for something buisness like... just for fun... but people don't get it about me ether... most people are just idiots... they know they are the ones failing at life... and because the dress and act how others do their minds don't even belong to them so they just got no right to tell others what to do if they let others tell them what to do...

sorry to hear...

first off, it's not possible to be positive all the time. u dont need to put on a mask.

second, let people expect what they like, but whose life is it in the end? yours. u live how u wanna live. if u want a simple life dammit u chase the simple life. ambitious is subjective, so dont ever think you'll please everyone.
dont let the opinion of others define u.

third, hold it together and sort out each aspect of ur life separately. if u take on too much too quick u will crumble. 100%. when ur down, pick ONE part of ur life to start with, and build up from there. it takes time, and u aren't a superhero. no one is.

Then screw them. If they can't be happy with the kind of life you want then fuck them. You deserve to do what you want to do and not what everyone expects you to do. Never do things for others especially when your not happy with it.

I only get angry when people bring up past things that I've done. That I'm working on improving from.

Most of the time I feel frustrated, lost, confused, and don't know what to do. I really wish I had a mentor. :)

springocelot · Answer

oh, yes i had those days
days where i had pent up anger like the pressure cooker and must let it out
and when i did people were surprised and became derisive
because they expect i act a certain way, especially with what i studied for
but when all was said and done, i felt free

people's personalities are on a spectrum. you show some but not all. that surprises people.

well, i hope you feel better
isn't it way past your bedtime? :)

I felt really pissed off hours ago. I'm pissed because i can't be myself offline. If i do act like i truly am, i'm afraid I'll lose all my friends and maybe even my boyfriend. It pisses me off that I have to put up a front just to save face. I freaking hate it.

vishna · Answer

Sometimes I feel angry. Usually it's interpersonal conflicts.

I'm on this path right now. And I'll follow it until I get to my house, special guy, and kids. I get scared that I'll mess up my path and be led away from my dream. But I know I'm in the right major, and this will take me places.

mskay · Answer

I feel angry almost everytime, but I don't show it. And yeah, I'm angry rn, for the very stupidest reason ever and I'm angry at myself for being angry at this issue.

Pinkbeauty · Answer

I'm always happy except as of now I haven't happy because Iv been sick with a stomic bug that's been going around and I was in tons of pain from it that I cried 😰

lanternhill · Answer

What kinds of ambitions? And I think that wife and kids are great ambitions - having a family is a huge responsibility and truly having a loving caring family who turn out to be helpful good members of society is hard work and worth pursuing.

CHARismatic110 · Answer

Yes I do. Anger has been a constant emotion in my life for a long time.
