Not sure what to do about this issue I am having. Basically I went to wedding about a year ago and was sitting with my relatives. However one person who was sitting next to me I dont really speak to that often. We have had no issues in the past. He is my uncles brother in law. He is quite old about 65. Anyway I was feeling quite uncomfortable sitting next to him as I was not really familiar with alot of people. Anyway out of no where he blurted out some strong words in front of everyone around our table. Something along the lines of 'you should liven up' and you never speak to anyone'. I could not believe what I was hearing . I have never been spoken to like this before. This person basically lost his temper in front of everyone including my parents and said some pretty harsh words. everyone around the table was shocked. I just froze and could not believe what I was hearing he was making a character assassination of me. At the time I just gave him a stare like I was saying that your comments are not bothering me and just made him feel like he was a complete for losing it. And did not want to stoop to his level. But now I feel I should have said something back. as I cant get what he said out of my mind. its like he has got away with it point blank after coming out with his comments. No elder person has ever spoken to me like this in my life and I am full of anger revenge. alot of people have said stuff to me before but its never really lingered and I have forgotten about it. I cant wait to see this person again to let out my anger. Its like I cant move on unless I say something back to this person. I dont know why it is getting to me so much and cant get it out of my mind. All I want to do is punch his face in. If I did say something back I would look like I was in the wrong. this person means diddley squat to me as he;s more of a distant relative . I get along with all my relatives so this guy coming out with his comments just makes me more angry. I feel like revenge is my only answer to get this off my chest. I cant believe someone can come out with these comments against me . especially and elder who we are suppose to respect.
