They think if someone is legitimately mad that it means they're in trouble just like them.
I've heard this was an issue of sorts with an older generation, born in the late 1960s and the earlier 1970s.
When It's Okay for Sure
Is it sometimes right to be upset? We'll start with the basics and say we know it's okay to be mad if someone is murdered. So, does anyone dare to cross that line? I don't think the outcome is to smash things but to cry and talk about it, being upset or "mad."
So, how mad should you get for certain things?
Why I'm Mad
I'm mad because I'm a good person, pretty smart and with know-how in basic things, like feelings. However, people are always "testing" me and think I'm a "bad egg/nut" suddenly as of maybe 2006.
