Hey there,

I think I'm overly scared of other people getting violent when they get angry.. I'd like to let people be angry if that's how they really feel as I do think anger is just like any other emotion and shouldn't have to be suppressed. But I'm dead scared people will take their anger out on me

I'm not scared they'll be physically violent so much as emotionally as I feel that'd be harder to spot or 'prove'.. Or maybe it's because I've learned I should just 'take' it I feel I see it everywhere I look, even couples who say they love each other say really nasty things to each other and then say they're 'ONLY teasing'.. And if someone teases you or laughs at you and you get upset, then you're 'too sensitive'. I HATE it! Why can't people just be NICE to each other..

Anyway, I wonder how I can get it into my head that not EVERYONE is crazy.. Not everyone is going to hurt me even if they do get angry.

At the moment, I'm on sick leave for Irritable Bowel Syndrome and social phobia, but I've only got two months of it left. I already HATE the idea of being basically forced to either go to school or get a job without being able to control one bit who I end up having to spend my days with..
