QotD: Don't get pissed when I don't take it seriously

[liveonearth]

I'm not big on Astrology. If you want to worry about the position of the planets when you decide who to flirt with or when to buy a car, feel free, but don't expect me to take it seriously or put my well being in it and don't get pissed when I don't take it seriously.

"Thinking that things are never your fault is often a kind of delusion. Pitching a fit at the people around you when a majority vote would say you're the one who's at fault is in the difficult crazy zone.

And anger. That's a special topic. Getting upset and dealing with it is one thing. This can be anything from talking it out to getting angry and changing your behavior so the thing that made you angry is less likely to happen again. Getting angry and deciding that it's perfectly alright to attack people (esp. me) isn't alright. This is where we talk about a sense of proportion. Yelling to get feelings out is ok if the yelling isn't in a restaurant or my mother's house. It's not ok when it's in a place that will cause me trouble in the future."

FUCK YES. I need to remind myself again and again and again of this.
