When someone calls you an angry person. I think they are an angry person.

Most of the people in my life know me as someone who is pretty laid back, and then I blow up, and then I calm down again. I do not spend my life in anger because it makes me unhappy.

But recently I have met 2 people; I will speak of one who I met who lives around here. A guy that I thought about dating very un-seriously.

But I swear every time we have talked he ends up talking about people who come to this country to take advantage of the government and how his late wife worked with the women from, (fill in country because I can't remember) who had the government pay for all their kids and how they drove very nice cars and bullshit.

Before that it was Muslims who were coming over here doing the same thing.

So he just told me I am an angry person. I have rebutted him on every stupid ridiculous thing he has said. I swear it is only because there are so few people around that I have been hanging with him and also because he is doing work on my house.

So if someone tells you you are an angry person maybe you are; but maybe they are.

nice to racist jerks. They need a reality check and I’ve come to enjoy being the one to give it to them.

"When somebody is pointing a finger at you, there are three fingers pointing back at them."

Sounds like the person who called you angry is insecure (the cause of about 98% of bad male behavior) and is trying to cover that up by trying to get you to believe that you're the one with the problem.

If you need this individual to keep working on your house, you may have to bear a bit of this, but try not to engage. You can't convince someone to not be stupid. Also, this person seems to want to be in opposition to who you are, as soon as possible, get this individual out of your life.

Ask yourself why you "blow up". Maybe you're picking the wrong people to be around.

He may be one of the few people around, but it's not worth the constant negativity and irritation. Not good for your own well being and piece of mind.
