Do you think I’m a bad person for getting the urge to cause trouble when I learn someone around me disagrees with me? I’m not going to, of course, I’ve matured past that. But I think it comes from the fact the most attention I got as a child was from people yelling at me. In a way, I can navigate it. I know how to make people angry. I don’t know how to make them stop yelling. Maybe I just like the feeling of control?
We try not to make moral judgements about people for their feelings and urges.
I think it’s wonderful that you have the perspective to be able to look at your feelings and urges and think about why you have them, and about whether acting on them would be good or bad.
