Coping tactics rant 

I can't stand people who deal with their feelings of inadequacy, shame, sadness, etc., through anger. You know, people who externalize those feelings and make them everyone else's problem.

It just frustrates me. I'm used to perceiving everything as my fault, and turning that shame inwards. It's just so unfair that other people think they can cope by making everyone else feel shitty. I don't get that at all.

P.S. This is about my dad, not anybody here, just to make that clear. I'm visiting family and that can be a frustrating experience for me at times.
