Art, I have a colleague who gets really angry when I am emotional, worried, indecisive. It makes things so much worse. They regularly threaten to kill me (saying it as though it's a joke) if I don't stop. My therapist is always shocked at what I report, since this is someone who is also a strong supporter of my work. I chalk it up to an inability to deal with their own emotions, but I am not married to them so I am free to have no contact when needed. Anyway, I get it.
