Can you stay mad/sad for long?

Question

Lol it almost makes me mad that I can’t 😂 I just love to laugh, smile and talk too much to stay mad/sad for long. I’m not sure if I’ve ever stayed mad for longer than an hour. My fam and many others do some truly fcked up things. But I forgive, I just don’t like to tell the person that they’re forgiven. Forgiving, does not mean forgetting so I would never trust that person again with jackshit. I’ll surely still dislike the person, but that won’t stop me from talking to them again at some point. As for crying, it’ll be genuine then I’ll look in the mirror while ugly crying and try to fix my face to a more pretty cry which just ends up turning into a smile. Like damn ya had one job! I don't know I just feel suffocated if I can’t smile or talk or laugh. I tend to do so within such a short period of being mad or sad that people probably assume we’re on good terms again. Haha, we’re not. But that doesn’t mean I can’t feel cheerful at the same time #FeelFreeToList

Besides, this commercial makes it hard not to feel a touch of happiness

No it's a waste of time and energy there's not too many things in this world to get me mad maybe for a brief second long time ago I learnt that I could take a lot of different types of pain. And if someone
I did something did I needed help with or something like that and they had an accident I mean that's kind of my fault for involving them so I couldn't be pissed off about that if somebody goes out of their way to piss me off I usually know it and it's just not going to work and I thought about it and there's only like five things in this world that could actually get me really really pissed and I would probably do something about it and that is premeditated anything
If somebody touched or hurt a girl by touching. And she said no
And if somebody hurt a kid.
Elderly people are a pet those are probably the things where I wouldn't want to calm down I would stay disciplined until I talk to them but I would smash them up if they said one wrong word. Those are probably the biggest things in the world anything else is just minor b******* probably so yeah I get over things pretty easy except for those five things

I don't keep the emotions continuously but I do keep the thought.

Not for long no, but if It's important, it will become mixed reactions from me, so like after they break my seriousness once, from then I'll still be trying to communicate my upset until "im ready" to get over it or the problem has been solved.

but there is some differentiation:

1) I don't believe in giving the silent treatment. Yes im tempted to give it but it as a form of emotional abuse accordingto Psychology. So I'll still interact as necessary but not the same special treatment... but in the initial stage it is our right to take time to cool off and not interact at all with the person... Silent treatment is only ""prolonged"" silence.

I do infact prefer someone to curse and express their anger than be silent.

I can’t because the minute that someone asks for forgiveness, the anger fades away. And if I’m mad about something I did, I usually forget about why I was mad at myself in like a few hours.

As for being sad, shove that feeling way deep down inside of me until it disappears. If I end up crying, it won’t be for too long. Longest I’ve cried was when I found my rabbit frozen on Christmas Eve in middle school and that was just for an hour.

Nah I forgive way too easily

Lliam · Answer

There are some things that I'm still angry about when I think of them. Like, as much as I loved my parents, there are a few things they did when I was young that I still get mad about when I think about them. It's amusing how triggered I get when I talk about those things. That's true for things other people have done, too.

But even if I can still recall things like that, I also recall the good things those people have done.

I don't keep those thoughts in my head, though. I'm actually a happy person.

AlexEfron · Answer

I can relate. I don't hold grudges. I will forgive, but never forget. I usually don't initiate any interaction, so even after something goes wrong that enraged me or upset me, I won't go back to initiate any conversion or any interaction of any sort. If they come to me, I will be on my best behaviour. But I remember everything they have done to me. I do get confrontational, but if I see that the other person avoids answering or justifying, I stop trying. And so, I end up losing people in my life. But that does not mean that I'm angry (not the same for sadness). Sadness is something that I do not get over easily. It'll take months or even years (if something genuinely upset me a lot).

Rosexøxø · Answer

Yeah, I think while they’re not the same-

anger that is prolonged can- and kinda does- turn into hate.

Either of the actions that were done / the betrayal/ or the whole person.

There was only one ☝️ person I really hated in my life and the thing is- being forced to be family with her actually helped me grow. I didn’t just ‘accept ‘ it

I learned from it. So I’d know how to handle people in the world just like that.

SamIam96 · Answer

Desi, the problem is, you're a good person. I'm the opposite. If someone makes me sad, I want to correct their behavior. Of course, there's no way to do that, but, well... I try and behave like a jerk.

I think about your grandpa. You're good. No, you're great. I'd have abandoned him ages ago. You know he has flaws and still love him.

Keep on being a lover...

Fabiloso · Answer

I still struggle to show much real emotion at all with friends or anyone. If it comes from built up anger or something I get all shaky and barely get any of the right words out. And that's just with basic family discourse. But yeah I dont let most thongs make me mad... lol thongs. Im keeping it.

Most thongs dont ever piss me off though, they can change my mood for sure. Makes me more angsty and aggressive around them. But I just let it change my tactics, not my impulses.

iron_ninjs · Answer

You do seem like a person who can't keep being mad long, judging by your happy personality on here. 😁
For me, it depends why, and who, I'm mad at. If it's something serious, a couple of hours. If it's not serious, maybe 15-20 minutes. I tend to stay sad longer than mad.

RHK36 · Answer

I embrace all my emotions, but I don't sit with it for long periods of time. Staying in those feelings long term is a waste of time and energy regardless if they're good or bad. Having a good cry or celebrating a victory, it doesn't matter. I take a moment and then carry on because life doesn't stop.

Singing_Hollow · Answer

lol I used to hate this about me too. I can't be mad for long, I'm too much of a softy and also I dont ponder on things for days. I like to move on quickly otherwise it effects my life and emotions and I dont like that.

TrueConfection · Answer

I can only stay mad at myself. It takes too much effort to stay bitter with another person and sometimes I'm annoyed with myself for giving in too soon. On the other hand, I can stay worried about a situation for days.

susie22 · Answer

I never stay angry for very long, I'll say what I need to say, then I'm pretty much done with it. I guess you could say I forgive, but depending on the situation, I don't forget.

Abdulwahh · Answer

No lol i might be angry but i forgive to make myself feel better im never sad for long lol

Sanser · Answer

When I felt really betrayed that person was like dead to me but it lasted just 4 years. Now I just feel indiference. So I think someone can't stay mad forever unless its something very very concerning.

I get over it pretty quickly. I’m the type to address things that make me mad. That way I’m not stewing for no reason.

AaronKrieger · Answer

Nah, it's very rare that I do. I would rather just end on okay terms with someone rather than a negative one. It just isn't worth my energy and thankfully my brain registers it that way, lmao.

berisky23 · Answer

Mostly it lasts about 5/10 minutes unless someone or something has really overstepped the mark in which case years. Hands down. Once we're there, we're done.

worldscolide · Answer

No, I feel like anger is a wasted emotion. It's not productive unless directed. I font hold grudges either. I just cut those people from my life.

Jerre · Answer

Takes a lot to get me mad. I can’t even remember the last time I was mad. As for being sad was when my fiancé died 2 weeks before our wedding 20+ years ago. I was sad for a long, long time.

kellytheman · Answer

Well I rarely get mad and I don't hold a grudge but I have been through a time when I was depressed for a 6 months.

the_sinner · Answer

Nah not even if I tried to. When I’m mad/sad I stay gloomy and reserved which eats me from within and after a while I vent it all out by doing something interesting and I’m good again lol.

LiamJHayden · Answer

No. Life has too much beauty for me to be depressed or worse, depressing.
