In any case, I'd recommend taking your next right action towards what you really want, rather than simply reacting away from what you don't want, because it tends to feel better. |
Right.
I can see that my (repressed) desire to take by force is driven by insecurity. I expect to be walked over or ignored if I'm not forceful or simply ask for what I want. That was my experience as a polite, reserved, slightly overwhelmed teenager. This "fury"/anger has only come to the surface recently.
I'm not sure what to do with it actually, but thanks anyway Angela.
