I'm taking a poll. When do you tell someone that they've made you mad or hurt you? Do you tell them right then and there? Do you tell them after you're calm? What do you say? How do you say it? Let me know.
I don't always handle it so well. I usually let them know in some way that I'm hurt or angry, but it usually takes me a little while to be able to fully express why I'm upset. So - I'll wait until I have the words (maybe an hour or so) to really express myself. Sometimes I'll wait until I've calmed down to talk things out.
I try to calm down first. I used to have a temper problem not so long ago and I've learned that if I speak when hurt or angry I have a hard time expressing myself and very often say things I don't mean or say them in a way that is hurtful to others. I've learned that for me that works best, but sometimes it's all about the situation and who it is too.
Hi,
I'm a dreamer and a romantic. I believe that you must love yourself first if you hope to find love from others. These are my thoughts on love and life.

Thank you, Cara, for your input! I don't always handle it well, either, but I'm changing that.

Good to know, Katie. You have to do what's best for you.
