About This Quote

When you are mad at someone, you can blame it on them being "all in your head" which is a bit of an insult. This phrase implies that the anger is not based on reality or that you are somehow responsible for your anger. It is more of an aggressive attempt to minimize your responsibility for feeling angry rather than acknowledging that you are responsible for being angry. This phrase is also used by some people to try to convince others that they are not really angry at all.
