I'm Always Wrong

Anyone know matter the gender should understand these feelings.

I feel like I am always wrong.

I ask you, how are you?

You say alive.

Immediately my mind says, oh god same day as yesterday.

I grow quiet.

Always afraid in someway I am wrong, and you are always right.

These moods are a regular pattern.

My feelings, how I respond, your feelings, how you respond. Polar opposite.

When your angry, you take it out on me.

When I get frustrated, agitated, or feel overstimulated you can't respect I may need a nap.

You get angry with me, I feel discouraged and withdrawn.

I don't know how to respond when I feel angry inside.

So I just keep it inside, hoping it will disappear on it's own.

When I know it's normal, to go through this.
