Answer :

This totally happens to me! I find I’m probably more inclined to do creative things and such when I’m pissed off because I have to so many feelings and I don’t normally share pissed off feelings as outwardly as I would happy exciting ones, therefore I need an outlet for them. So I see it as a positive trait, that at least I’m not keeping everything bottled up. You may not be doing anything that you think exactly reflects whatever you’re feeling but I believe that what’s behind it!
