I Know Everyone Is Different, And Has Different Opinions

I’m tired that my way of handling things is somehow... wrong. I don’t hurt anyone, don’t hurt myself. I shut down when I’m upset and angry... it’s just what happens. I deal with things differently and I’m tired of it being wrong.

Sometimes it seems easier to just shut down than confront what is happening. I know this all to well as this is my coping mechanism. However, it is a unhealthy mechanism as nothing ever gets solved this way. Maybe next time try and open up and express what is affecting you. It might be hard but you will feel better afterwards.

@KerryA1990 you’re not wrong. I usually tend to sit back and think first before I say anything. I’ve had a tendency to say something stupid. Hindsight is always 20/20

While it is good to have a think about your response, I find that when you respond a day or so later when the conversation is over it can cause further arguments and more resentment. In the past I would shut down and then spend the next few days dwelling on it and getting more and more irritated. When I finally felt ready to talk I would be a lot more angry than was necessary as I had left it to build up so something which wasn't too bad has now become a bigger issue then it needed to be. The other person will also be more angry as they will think it is over and done with for it to just be brought up again. Maybe explain thst you need a few hours to have a think and that you will discuss the matter soon. Least then they will have a better idea of what is going on 😊

@KerryA1990 ahhh well that’s what it was. And it seems to be an issue no matter what. I can talk more about it in a PM. Just not really in a the best of moods right now

You aren't wrong, they are.
