I'm not sure if its because I grew up in a calm household and just wasn't exposed to much fighting or because of PTSD, but any time I see anger in someone else it terrifies me!

Just a few examples:

1. I was at the gas station recently and my husband innocently pulled up to a pump that someone else apparently wanted. The person pulled up to a different pump and got out and started yelling at my husband and thankfully my husband didn't react but just hearing that person get mad made my heart race and my head fill with thoughts of getting shot or worse.

2. I was at a hotel recently with my parents and they started discussing something and it got a little angry. I wouldn't say it was even a fight, or anything unhealthy, but I suddenly felt really angry myself (heart racing again, etc.) and I angrily shot out with "If you don't stop that I'm going to leave!"

3. When my husband gets frustrated with his computer, dying too many times in a video game (hehe), or other things completely unrelated to me it scares me if he gets loud. I find myself going into another room and then I feel bad because I know he needs to get those feelings out. Then he feels bad. He says its like his frustration moves over to me and I internalize it and make it even bigger, lol.
