@yourautisticlife@actuallyautistic Same. I can be so calm and rational when the thing (whatever it is) is happening only to realize later how angry it really made me. Sadness, though, doesn't seem to go that way for me. Only anger. So for me, I think it's tied up with the freeze/fawn response that I can't seem to kick. Also socialization -- not "nice" to be angry. Sad is seen as "weak", so that's okay. It's complicated and messy and not fun!
