When I'm upset or something causes me to feel angry, right as I am blowing all my 'gaskets'
.... I think what describes me best is that I'm like a star that's dangling in the heavens, sparkling like a silent firecracker.
I become very quiet.
As much as I like to think that I'm listening to what's being said or to what is not being said, my process is sometimes circumvented by my own thinking processes that are trying to make sense out of what is upsetting me or causing me to feel angry. When this happens, most often I just quietly shut down.
