Thinking back on conversations i've become irritated by, friends i've yelled at, and things i've become upset with, it becomes clear to me what i'm doing when i get angry. More often than not, i use people's actions and words as a channel through which i can indirectly yell at myself. When someone says something and i'm familiar with the idea, and can recall my past motive for saying something similar, i unconsciously use that moment as an excuse to verbally accuse myself of my past. And when someone acts in a way that i'm familiar with, and it strikes up a memory that i'm not proud of, i scold the person's action as a way of relieving my frustrations with my own actions.

You know I have struggled with this feeling forever and never put it to words! Great post!
Links, if I didn't post them, I know most come from Planned Parent hood, which yes, I don't trust all that much. HOWEVER, the percentages were also posted in an obscure site that I cannot remember at the moment. Google abortion rates and stuff, it should find you some percentages on when they have them.

isn't there a saying that goes something like 'what you hate in others is what you hate most about yourself' ?
but really.... YES
I often hate myself for certain things (like common everyday mistakes) because it doesn't fit the way I want to be or change myself into what I see as a "perfect" way to be. Basically, I've deluded myself into this idea of perfection that I can never attain and hate myself for always failing at it. You know, I just realized how stupid that sounded...xD too bad it is the truth.
Phoenixes are superb. They are also fictional beings..but that isn't the point!
