Anger is many times a shield for shame

If you poke a wounded animal, it’ll probably lash

out. It may cower to in fear, but sometimes it

comes out as anger.

Why? For me, shame makes me more defensive.

If a person says something that could be true and I

don’t have a lot of space between my thoughts and

mind, I’ll feel very reactive.

So I learned to feel it. Most of the time. For sure

when I’m stressed or I choose to engage with a lot

at once, my mind can get overwhelmed.
