ANGER

I have a marked tendency towards anger.

Especially when an adult makes what I'm sure is meant to be a "cute comment." I have a tendency to overreact due to my childhood background.

I was teased, ridiculed, rejected by my peers from approximately age eight until seventeen.

I can remember incidents of ridicule directed at me when I was sixteen. I can remember because the summer of 1982 I went on a Europe school group trip and I remember most of the experience.

Not sure if that occurred during my subsequent senior year of high school. Rejection certainly. Active ridicule I'm not sure. And I don't know if it's worth "going back into the brain" to try and remember.

To be continued....

MY BIRTHDAY HAS COME AND GONE...

...So could someone please let me know HOW THE HELL I GOT TO BE FIFTY YEARS OLD!?
