Anybody who knows me well enough knows better than to bother me when I'm in one of my "moods" as they disturb me at their own peril.
When these things happen, my first instinct is to escape and close myself in a room. If somebody still won't leave me alone, I become compelled to physically attack them.

I agree, backing me into a corner is not going to work out well for anyone.
I think expectations of people is a form of emotional self harm, that we need to stop. When you expect something from someone like support, honesty, understanding people almost always fail at coming through with that. The we beat ourselves up for ever giving them that power.
