That is a difficult thing. Society today puts so much pressure on everyone to have a smile on their face and be calm at all times and that is simply not human. Things happen in life that naturally will trigger normal, healthy, emotions like anger, resentment, envy, sadness, frustration, defensiveness, etc. These emotions need to be released also in order for a person to maintain a healthy, well balanced, mind. If society keeps telling us we cannot display such emotions, where are we to release them and express them? A person might lean on somebody not to offer answers to their issues, but simply to allow them to release those pent up feelings. It is not direct at you, but simply being released in your direction, because it is the only place they feel they can, for the time being.

This world we live in is becoming less and less realistic as we go. Even in hospital, on the psych ward, the moment I began to voice my anger or frustration about anything, the doc was ordering sedatives. That is the sad state of affairs in our society.
