Why Am I Always Their Punching Bag?

People are jerks and might take out their anger on you just because your there. In that case just be overly positive and nice, even if you don't feel like it. They might be looking for an argument or a reaction, if you don't give it to them it's the best for you.

A lot of people hold anger that they don't know how to let go of in their bodies, and when they don't know how to let go of it, they let it out on people who have nothing to do with the problem. Even when you try to ask them about the underlying issues that cause their anger, they get so angry that they refuse to look inside themselves and acknowledge their problem. With these people, patience is the move, but when you don't have patience, distance and setting real, hard boundaries work.
