The situation
You were upset about something real — something unfair had happened, and you had every right to be angry. But the second you showed it, people started saying "calm down," "you're overreacting," "it's not that deep." And somehow, being told to calm down made you angrier, and the angrier you got, the more it seemed to prove their point. Now you're stuck: you have a real feeling about a real thing, but everyone's acting like the feeling itself is the problem, not the thing that caused it.
