I grew up in Central Pennsylvania and I’m Egyptian too—so I was trained in the ways of passive aggression. At a young age, it was pressed into me, not to be angry. Tantrums were wrong and so I had to figure out other ways to channel my anger. I don’t think I had good habits, and I carry that lack into my adulthood. Rather than talking about what is bothering me, I try to just change how I feel about it. I don’t have the hard conversations I need, and the pressure builds and I blow my lid.
