You see, everyone, the problem I have with PTSD sometimes in situations like this, is being aggressive, and not assertive. I will express myself in a "*#@uck You" I don't give a Damn about your feelings attitude, which is pure aggression and PTSD anger or thoughtlessness.
Asserting myself, in a polite way, expressing my feelings in a fair manner, then letting the other person decide how to react, is far more healthy. What I am now learning in this journey is the difference between the two (aggressive and assertive) and how to NOT be so aggressive.
Also, how should I react when someone behaves aggressively towards me? But that's another thread...
