Well, I took a bit of a survey, to ask people if I overreact. As I feared, the main answer was "yes."

I want to first state that there's nothing to worry about. I just think about things a lot, and need somwere to vent.

That said, I do think I sometimes take small things and turn them into big things; I do want to apologize to anyone I've offended or worried.

I'm not sure why I do this; but please, tell me when I do. I don't want people to think I don't care about them, or that I'm a manipulative nut.

I'm going to try and put things into perspecive more, and stop going by my first inclination - though there will be things I'll always rant about. However, I''ll try and stop doing it over trivial stuff.

Again, sorry to anyone I've gone off on.

*hugs* You're doing fine. You worry a lot- nothing wrong with that! It's better to worry than not care. :)

Worrying isn't bad at all. I worry a lot and it usually gets the job done pretty well. Don't worry about it. Like Mystic said, it's better to worry a little than not care at all.

You know, if you can't rant in your own journal, you have the wrong people friended.

*shrug* Just my opinion.

I don't think it has anything to do with offending other people: it's your LJ, and you can say what you want, and others can choose to read it, or not.

I, for one, choose not to read rantange from people who habitually rant (and there are many of them!). When someone rants a lot, you start to take that person's posts with a grain of salt: the rants sort of lose their edge after awhile.

So...it's not a question of offending anyone, it's more a question of 'what is your fundamental attitude?' You asked for opinions, and people answered, but I read the answers you got, and I can't see where *anyone* claimed to be offended by you.
