Now I am better at feeling an emotion, and deciding what to do with it, or how to express it. Knowing now that I am not my feelings, that they come and go, I can manage them, with breathing, excusing myself, or just sharing but with no hurtful words aimed at the other person.Geetamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17760620543307213361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6509167091139792409.post-73288002481271889782013-07-20T20:34:40.065-06:002013-07-20T20:34:40.065-06:00Thanks for sharing.

He kept claiming vegans are the most judgmental people while he was judging me! I admit that I did not handle myself with the most admirable behavior. However, I believe in standing up for what I believe in. Plus, this jackass had it coming!

Especially for us redheads! I don't like being mean to people and if I'm unkind, I usually feel so guilty about it later. I have very low tolerance for close-minded, judgmental, obnoxious and arrogant people. But sometimes it's better to remove yourself from a situation, if at all possible.

I have to step back and check myself. Over the years I've been able to channel frustration to do positive work (Rescue), but there's still days where it morphs into all-out anger and I am a complete dick, then my mouth just starts with the word vomit.
