I have a boyfriend of 9 months. We spend alot of time together and what not. Good or bad, I don't know. But I think it may cause why I sometimes get irritated with him easily. I don't mean to be rude or snap at him, it just happens. I don't know why I do, do that though. It bothers me. Also, when I'm at lunch or whatever, people say something and I quickly react to it. I don't take peoples shit basically, but I stand behind what I believe.Like.. I only held a couple grudges on people and my friend doesn't think I should and it's funny how she forgave an old friend who punched her in the face, but I didn't forgive her for doing that and just be a bad friend in general. Yeah, that could be a stupid reason , but she does everything for a attention and what not, whatever she slapped me in 8th grade and I took it because she was suppose to be my bestfriend... but back to the point. What may be causing this and how should I fix it?

This is why you might be striking back with words and not physical actions. I think that you are also getting fed up with the stress and your boyfriend is probably not the cause of any of your irritation, it is pretty much your friends. And it is perfectly fine [and very good] to stand up for what you believe in, and if your friends don't agree or support you in your beliefs, let them do what they want. You need to relax and maybe make other friends, friends that won't slap you or try to influence you to do something you don't want to do.
Try to escape the stress and drama, if your friend wants to befriend the person who punched her, she is being the bigger person, but you do what you want and your irritation will go away if you forget about the stress of school, relationships, friendships, homework, turmoil...it will go away. Unwind, listen to some music or take a few deep breaths. Everything is okay and all you can do is calm down, your hormones are probably just mixing you all up :]
Feel better and good luck. [ orphans's advice column | Ask orphans A Question ]
