I don't know where to start, but every day, I feel angry. I truly WANT to be happy so badly, but I don't know how. My entire life, I've lived in an environment where anger was a normal part of life. My parents were very bitter and unloving, so I don't know how to "love myself." I have been with my girlfriend for about one year, and I'm good to her, but sometimes, I act mean for no reason. I take things too seriously (i.e. myself, my looks, my work, school). I find it hard to see the lighter side of life, and I hate myself for it. Sometimes, I feel like I need to just run away and start over, but I've tried that before, and it did nothing for me. All in all, I'm just not a resilient person. How can I teach myself to become resilient to life's circumstances? There are so many other people on this earth that have it much worse than me, but I fail to recognize that. I just want happiness. Is that too much to ask? Advice?
