Riddle me this- how on earth do you hold your tongue when someone irritates the *&%$ out of you? Anyone? Anyone?
I struggle between justifying my need to vent about why I should be able to complain about how a person annoys me, and forcing my lips to stay shut. I'll say silently to myself, "Serenity now! Serenity, NOW! Keep your mouth shut, KG. If you don't feed into it, it will dissipate." I try to not talk about my angst and I try to will it away. Sometimes it works. A lot of the times, it leaves me feeling bamboozled because I'm not able to fully vent about why I'm entitled to be angry.
Perhaps what they said on Seinfeld is accurate, but it's probably the other way around, "Serenity now, insanity later."
