Lately I have been cynical and irritable with people quite a bit. I am sure it’s just a matter of working through old feelings and balancing old behaviors with new ones. I don’t want to carry all this negativity. Seeing things for what they are and being logical about it all is one thing... being angry about it all is not personal growth.

For me, it's been both. I am less tolerant of other people's ******** and when it involves me. I am less tolerant and accepting of other people trying to manipulate me.
However, it's also made me be more compassionate when I see that others are suffering because I know what they are going through. But it's allowed me to be compassionate while having no tolerance for being dragged into their BS at the same time.
