I think the habit of bottling things up has different effects on us because for me I just become unnecessarily aggressive and sometimes scared as well.
I usually don't like pouring out my mind when people offend me too but had to stop because it wasn't helping. The culprits won't know what they are doing is bad and they will automatically do more while I am battling with the effect.
Speaking up will make them change and people who refuse to change definitely aren't worth calling friends and what I do is cut them off.
I like the latter part. This is really deep, George.
Thank you.
