A Strange Anger

[Kakashi Hatake]

I can't speak for your situation, but I know that whenever that tendency creeps into me it's because I have some issue that I'm ignoring/not resolving. A lot of the time I don't even realize it until I get called out on it. The best example I can give is recently I've been dropping the ball on some academic stuff and kinda falling behind where I want to be to the point that I've lost motivation toward a lot of things in my life. I was ignoring the fact that I was pissed at myself for not getting shit done and I was snapping at people over dumb stuff. Not saying that any of this applies to you, but it is the case for me.

Though there are no changes in the amount of stress in your life, it could just be that you're burnt out from the usual stress and need some time to recoup. It could also be that something in particular (even though it's not 'bigger' than normal stressors) is really just getting you in just the right way to tip the scales. Like maybe you're working the same amount of hours, but your shift changed and it's just weighing on you.

I really wouldn't worry that it's a change in your personality because you seem to hate that you're doing it so I don't imagine it will be a permanent part of you. Usually if good people are being negative and realize it, it just means they're having a rough few days. Now if you didn't know why everyone was calling you an asshole and you just thought you were honky-dorey, that would be more suspect.

Also, I know the hashtags are supposed to be silly, but don't feel like you're 'being a bitch' if you're upset and want to talk about it. We're all buds here and no one thinks less of you for saying you're not feeling super great. If you REALLY feel like you need to assert your manliness, first say you're upset and chat with us, then build a shed to balance it out or something. =D

Also also, don't feel like you need to never show that you're upset. Sometimes when you think you're mad for no reason, there is a reason and that person deserved it. =P
