Does anyone else share a similar situation?
I have always been very polite and mild-mannered but when somebody tries to get a rise out of me or tries to hurt me, I feel a burning hatred inside of me. I think it's because I didn't have many friends as a kid, I was rejected by many of my peers, I was sexually abused by a man my parents trusted, I had trouble fitting in, adults would make fun of me because I was overweight (no longer an issue now...), A man tried to kill my mother and me when we asked him for directions... My childhood is a big blur but certain horrible memories stick out..
I'd like to be a better person and stay the usually happy and quiet guy I am, but am afraid that one day, somebody will say the wrong thing and I will do something terrible to them.. I want to be a better person but I don't know how.
I haven't cried for several years, I am emotionally apathetic and when someone dies, I can't feel a thing in me. I have trouble sympathizing with others and even though I try and preserve a calm demeanor, I feel a tangible hate every day I live..
How can I change myself? I have thought about taking up my faith in God again... it seems to be the only thing that keeps me sane.
