I'm really sorry, Deneb. I wish I hadn't posted anything. I thought I was helping you pinpoint where, perhaps, your reaction was coming from.
I guess I have become too sensitive to the significance of the usage of the word "should". It sometimes reflects an attempt to establish a behavior based upon what you expect others would have of you.
In reality, you *should* have been annoyed. It is what you felt because you were what you were at that moment in time. You could be nothing else. However, you are a different person as of right now. You should be applauded for challenging the thoughts that produced the feelings. You have grown because you decided to vent and make some changes in yourself.
