I actually went to the number 1 Park, where I felt ignored and was in NY do-or-die mood. Went up to a friend group playing mahjong they teacher me yes two young women and a guy nice. Then I played some shuffle-board. All I had to do was go up with a smile and not anger.

I think it's great that you were able to realize this and happy to hear you got to play mahjong and shuffleboard.

Feeling anger is okay, but it's also important to figure out how to express it safely and at appropriate times.
 
We can actually bring Faye's thread into this a little. I know that several of us have admitted to making faces or not knowing what our faces are doing when we are in whatever mood or line of thinking in our heads. It's worth looking into mirrors when we go through any myriad of thoughts / moods / feelings to get a bead on how more or less inviting we naturally look in those moments. We can then try to better be mindful of how everyone else out there sees / will view us when we are dealing / feeling whichever way. Yeah, it's pulling a Robert DeNiro, I guess, but it does work.

"...you talking to me?"
 
My parents make it worse. My mother yelled at me for getting a haircut she didn't approve, even though it's my body and I paid for it. Having to live with that at home, then going out thinking everyone hates me and is purposely ignoring me caused my RSD.

Rodafina, I absolutely agree with your comments. I think it's also important to understand what caused the anger. Knowing the cause can help a person to be able to avoid similar situations in the future. Self-awareness and being a participant-observer are always important skills to develop.
