Sometimes

I react before I've had a chance to absorb what I've heard, read or discovered.

I let my emotions do my thinking for me.

I take things out of context.

I feel like a giant asshole, for jumping the gun or misunderstanding.

I have a horrible case of foot in mouth disease.

I take out my frusteration on other people, who only want to help.

I drown in self pity, and then have to ask for a life preserver.

I defend myself when no defense is needed.

I feel like no one will ever understand me.

I wonder if I will ever understand myself.
