Hey, so this post might sound silly off the bat, but I really gotta start talking to someone about it.
I am constantly finding myself easily irritated and annoyed when it comes to dealing with my parents. I am a first generation born Asian Canadian. The parents speak little to no English, and are fobby at best. They come to me with all type of stuff... things as simple as reading and explaining their mail to them... however, I can't help but get annoyed.
I don・t ever want to get to that point, but it seems like when I have to constantly explain things to them, it bothers the hell out of me. The volume and tone of my voice changes, and I m sure my body language does as well, and it disgusts me every time I catch myself in that mental state. I would like to handle these situations better, but I really don・t know how.
The Chinese would say that I m "lau hay." I don・t have any anger issues, and I m definitely not short tempered, I don・t resort to violence, or at any point get physical. I just get extremely frustrated.
Any one else there with a similar background that experience the same thing??
