I am not angry.

In general I am content, I have learned to live a lonely life, and while I am dealing with long term, low intencity depression from that, I have found ways to distract myself from thinking about it.

If I do, then I will cry, though I have long since started seeing crying as a strength rather than a weakness. It gets rid of pent up emotional energy and calms you down.
