    How does one stay mad this long? On the off chance something like this were to upset me in the first place, being like 4 minutes removed from a situation that upset me and I’ve already forgotten it even happened.

      My pet armchair theory is that your average person with anger issues (I'm presupposing here but y'know) and 0 theory just gets slowly driven insane by everything because they have no ideological basis on which to order things in. It's like a dog on permanent 4th of july.

      If bad things happen to me, I understand why and powerless as I might be, I have an idea on how to fix them. I can't shake the feeling that if all of lifes bad things happen to you even at a regular rate and you have no way to understand it that only leaves you in some sort of nihilist me against the world / everyone is out to get me paranoia that gets you to ram a tow truck in a restaurant 45 minutes after your order
