Who are you yelling at?

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.
