I do just that with my loved ones… But with people not so close to me, I am like a ticking bomb. Annoy a little, you might never know that it angered me. But if you push the button one too many times… BOOOM!
Silent kind of brooding for the most part. Or even worse and only under extreme provocation – highly articulate logical declaration that makes the other person want to wet their pants – and all delivered in a calm, sweet tone that makes them feel unnerved.
I’ve always had a short fuse (it runs in the family). But I’ve gotten better in the self-control department over the years. I do use a lot of bad language if there’s no one within earshot, because it helps to blow off steam when you can. 🙂

I am a chronic stuffer. I’ll literally stuff emotions till I explode.

Generally swear and rant at the time to release it, but usually to myself because I hate confrontation 😂

I understand you, Paula… I also hate confrontation, especially if it is with a person who likes to argue no matter what. 😉 xx

I’m typically a seether, keeping it to myself. However, when the final button is pushed, I have the ability to go off.

I can be explosive, it depends on who I am angry with and on the situation. XX

I journal or just do things that help me relax until it goes away. Not good at expressing it!
