You know? I am the type of person that when I am angry I need space, but when I am sad I need hugs and kisses like you wouldn't believe.
My sister needs the closeness in either case.
We are best friends!
You have no idea how hard it is for her to stay the heck away when I am mad, but she does a good job at it. And, Gosh it is hard for me to get close to her when she's angry, but I know that is what she wants, so I make the effort (big effort).

Relationships are about understanding what the other person needs and respecting it, among many other complicated things ...
