I’m a pretty good kisser. But when I’m yelling and screaming at my girlfriend she probably forgets all that. How I “react” is my life. She doesn’t know if she can really “trust” me until she sees how I react under pressure, when I’m angry. Then the story she tells her girlfriends is complete: he’s a good kisser, but, shit, what’s with this “reacting with anger” bullshit?!?
How I “react” IS my life!
FUCKKKKKKKKKK LOVE <- NEVER AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I saw the above post on Facebook today. I’ve had that same reaction to love – a long time ago. I also know that when I’ve reacted like the above comment it was because I was emotionally immature. IQ is great, and EQ (emotional intelligence) is there to balance it out.
When someone screams that they’re angry at love, they also mean they’re angry about being *controlled* by love! They feel stupid, embarrassed, tricked, victimized! I’ve totally felt that way about love, too.
How you react IS your life! And right now, the above commenter’s reaction is to hate their life!
