Last night my sister was telling me that I have deep seated anger issues and need counseling. The way she told me made me mad, so I looked pissed-off and assumed a defensive, angry posture.....of course, she had an expression of "I told you so.." (She's a Communications Major and is somewhat an authority on reading people's verbal/body language.)
I told her that I have a right to be angry sometimes, I don't feel I need counseling, AND most of all, it's genetic- I'm like my grandpa. (He looked and acted like Hank's dad on "King of the Hill"- tiny angry eyes, short stature, rude....however, he lived to age 89, so I can't see where his anger hindered his life in any way. In fact, he impinged on others.)
I'm not socially inappropriate (I don't want to get my ass kicked) I don't say rude things (manners) and I do my best every day to treat others well. So...where's the problem here? Is my sister trying to be helpful? Is there something I'm missing?
