[quote=Anonymous]Well, this thread is about irrational anger, so:

I get really annoyed with people who want me to express endless empathy towards them when they lose their loving, close parent at an elderly age. Like I have friends who lost a parent 4-5 years ago, at the age of 75+, who still expect me to ask how they are doing with it.

It makes me mad because they don't understand that their grief is a GIFT. I wish my parent's death was a source of loss, grief instead of a relief, but my parents were neglectful, abusive, and unkind my entire life. I had very complex feelings when my dad passed. I had to go to therapy to work through it because I knew my feelings were too much for most people to deal with and that it wasn't as simple as "I'm sad my dad died."

So I do get irrationally angry at the grief of people who are just sad their dad died. I cannot related to them and if I've already expressed empathy and condolences in the year their parent died, I'm all done and need to move on.[/quote]
