John Green Quotes

I have a very high frequency of anger, and a very high frequency of sadness.

I have some anger issues.

It is clear to me that one of the biggest obstacles we face as human beings is the pain we put ourselves through when we resist and wrestle with our emotions.

I'm an emotional fighter; that's no secret. But it can be detrimental.

I get so angry. I just go through so many different patches in a game. It's so hard for me to find that balance. It's a tug-of-war all the time.

I've spent a lot of time and money trying to keep my anger in control.

I can't control my frustration.

Honestly, sometimes I get really fed up of my subconscious - it's like it's got a mind of its own.

For a long time I thought I could deal with my anger and hostility on my own. But I couldn't. I denied that it had affected me, and yet I was so frantic on the inside with other people: I needed to be constantly reassured.

I struggle with control.

I have an issue with rage. I'm going to work that out, long term.

I can sometimes feel like I'm an aggressive man inside. I'm not going to show that on social media.

I had gone through a really rough patch in my life, struggling with anxiety and depression for the first time ever, and it was totally new to me. I really had no idea what was going on, and it was all I could think about, so it was all I could write about.

When I was younger, I did self-mutilate. I'd be upset, so I'd do it, & it would calm me down. It's a horrible way to feel better. But there are two parts of your brain - one that really wants to destroy the other. & sometimes the idea of self-destruction is very romantic. I got over that.

This violent rage that turned inward cannot be helped by drink.

When the beginnings of self destruction enter the heart, it seems no bigger than a grain of sand.

Anger is my biggest enemy in life.

Some days I'm in better control and can navigate my way through stuff, and other days, not so much.

I tend to keep things that bother me clandestine... well-hidden. I'm also not very good at recognising the reasons that change my moods - they just seem to happen, which is not great for those around me.

Sometimes I think I'm the craziest person on the planet.

I love stories about people who are smart enough to know that what they're doing is destroying them, but that knowing that doesn't help them.

I recognize a lot of the things I'm going through. Like, I lose my temper a lot and I become unhinged and kind of hysterical.

I think it's safe to say that each of us has at least one issue we are passionate about and struggle with, issues that robs us of our peace, our joy and our ability to experience love.

I like people and get along, and I'm afraid to express my anger and my rage.
