It especially winds me up to get that 'but'. Not being heard and understood, that 'just' causes pain, but when I get lectured (even if well intentioned) about how I'm wrong or that I ought to do this that or the other - well yeah then I become very very frustrated and angry .

But then I have a lot of resentment anger and rage built up over the decades, for many many different reasons - so this kind of thing is just one more red flag to my anger bull.
I can relate to this.
