Just Stop.

Anger is necessary and outing anger is even more vital in those kinds of situations and I think as human beings we forget that, it's an emotion and a valid one that acknowledges we are hurt by something or someone, sometimes it's hard to find the balance especially with this kind of scenario but I think you outed that into the ether incredibly well my lovely, also happy that you were able to express it in this little old space and share it with us  

Thank you for sharing it with us, as they say, sharing the burden makes the cargo lighter.

Take care of yourself 😊

So good to see you back, my lovely one. Outing anger is indeed very vital, but it's the emotion I struggle with most. I have a really hard time recognizing it as such and I usually act it out on myself. This was incredibly hard to post, but it's the first step and I did it :-)  
 
Thanks heaps for your comment, I appreciate you 🙏🏻

Nice vent! Entitled reactions just confirm your initial feelings, which only helps to trust yourself more.

I find that simply ignoring their messages works best. :)

Thanks heaps for your comment, Ahavati. I did ignore the messages, but it went on so it felt like I had no choice (even though I did have a choice, I could have blocked him) This was the first time I reported a message, since it was truly an attack, so I felt like writing about it.

Yes this is very much a release and beautifully vented Fia xoxo

Smiling widely. Thank heaps for your comment, dear Fia. xoxo

This is a healthy outlet for anger & your approach was diplomatic. You simply stated your feelings on the matter & moved on. Nicely done!

That's such a great compliment. Thanks heaps for your visit & comment, Confluence.

Anger so often is the symptom of deep hurt so sometimes it has to claw and scratch its way to the surface. Work it out and open to the surface is a wonderful healing happening. Focus on that and  scream the healing onto your soul my friend. I almost forgot, the poem was also very kick ass!

I often mistake anger for hurt, I'm working on recognizing anger and outing it. Writing about it and releasing it are very helpful. It means a lot to get support and get comments like yours.
   
Thanks heaps for your visit & comment, my friend, I appreciate you :-)

Being able to identify & express anger in safe ways is huge. I find it ridiculous that when confronted with a no or rejection we get accused of being the problem. But if we don't respond we're bitches. No win. I say follow your gut & don't worry what they think. And no is a full sentence. Love the way you handled this, sis 💖

It is huge and even though I found it hard to post this piece, I did it. Words are honestly lacking, thanks heaps for your comment and continuous support, sis 💖
