Thanks for bringing that up Hatman. I have been really reactive in anger lately. Out of fear of consequences and also imagined opinions of others, I've buried anger all my life. E2 is opening up some self care in me, and anger has surfaced quickly lately.
However, something I'm just starting to notice is me projecting my feelings on others. When I first read Shannon's reply, I was at work, frustrated by not having stood up for myself that day. When I read Shannon's words, I put my voice in his words, and I read Shannon as angry, frustrated, and helpless over his work situation--the very things I was feeling. Well, I projected everything I felt onto Shannon, and I got mad. I managed to make him the bad guy, thus causing me problems.
I'm not sure how to make amends presently, as I've been blowing off others too. This isn't a pity cry, but I am in a new area, which is owning my anger.

I want to be FREE!
