Anger is hard. But anger tangled up with embarrassment is torture. The journal page I read about him contained lots of little missteps and tiny hurts I'd felt from him. I shared the page because I wanted him to know just how intense my attachment gets and how irrational I feel about some things. I wrote that I wish I could ask him if he cares about me. I wish he would tell me. He looked really surprised and said "don't you know how much I care about you?" And I had to say, "not always. Sometimes I think you just have to act like you do." And I said I was sorry I was being so nonappreciative and such a pain.
He shook that off and it was a good conversation. Too short. I still feel like a brat though.
