vent.

One of my biggest pet peeves in the WORLD is when someone tells me to "calm down." If I am crying or having a melt down, then sometimes those words can be comforting. But when I am clearly neither crying, nor melting down and someone uses the sarcastic "CALM DOWN, CHELSEA" is when I get pissed.

There is absolutely no reason for anyone to ever tell you to calm down unless they are trying to comfort you. When people say that to me, it MAKES me freak out. It's like, you don't know my life! And I'm sorry but frankly I take offense when someone tells me I need to calm down. Don't tell me what to do, and don't accuse me of over-reacting. I am reacting the way I see fit, and you should keep your opinions about it to yourself.

UGH.
