how should you deal with someone who is happy and cheery when you're frustrated and angry

i've been in a few situations like that, frustrated and angry with people because things aren't going my way at that particular time, & i feel like banging my head into a brick wall...then i see someone who i think saw what mood i was in, and they're all happy and cheery all of a sudden?? i've found certain women to behave like that.

how should you respond to that?

I’ve noticed that too. It can be really frustrating when someone stays cheerful while you’re upset. I try to remind myself that their happiness isn’t meant to annoy me — it’s just their way of handling things.”

maybe don’t read into someone happiness as a personal strike against you. Maybe in an uncomfortable situation that individual figured if they stayed cheerful it would help boost your mood. People with poor moods have a habit of wanting those around them to feel bad as well. Try and look at it as a positive thing react by making yourself smile. If you think negatively then your reaction will be negative.
