What could make today more fucked up? Oh, yeah... you could rant at someone you love. That would be good.

I hope you're not talking about me

Because I know, and you know, that it comes from a place of love.

Sure. But it's still not so hot on the "Diversify your response strategies" count.

It's always easiest to lash out at the ones you love.

Not true

It's easiest for me to lash out at those who hurt the ones I love. ;)

I think what you're getting at is it is easiest to be hurt by, or feel you've hurt, those you love. But that's a very different thing.

Maybe he meant "It's easiest to chew on the ones you love."
(Because most people won't let you, you know.)

Re: Not true

I pretty much meant what I said.

It's especially true when I am angry with myself over something. The anger is seething, there is no good place to vent it, and a loved one comes over to offer comfort, which isn't exactly what you are seeking ... instant target for the frustration, no matter how inappropriate. Which only makes me angier with myself for hurting someone I care about.

I've seen other people do it as well.

I'm sure there are a million situations and I've just described one of them, but let's face it. Most of the time the people who are around you the most are those you care about it (if you are lucky enough to be in that situation), so even completely random outbursts are most likely to fall on people you care about.

Most of us end up on both ends of such outbursts at one time or another. As long as it doesn't happen too frequently, people tend to forgive.

But the good thing about lashing out at the ones you love is that they will understand. Don't be too hard on yourself.
