Angry because I felt people did not understand me...

Growing up my interests were a little more different that most of my brothers and sisters.

I preferred helping others than looking for help myself.

I found satisfaction in doing something kind to others than waiting for someone to be kind to me.

Unfortunately, this caused some anger and frustration as my brothers, sisters and friends most of the time preferred doing the opposite.

STEVE COMMENT:
Hmm, you don't say whether this anger was your anger or the anger of your brothers, sisters and friends Mercy...
