Hello. Would you please tell me what underlined part means in the context below?
I'm wondering what's the difference between angry and mad in this context.
(It's story about a boy with Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder. This is a conversation between the boy and his counselor.
The boy's mom is alcoholic and he thinks he wore the red T-shirt and his mom got bad. He thinks he made it happen.)
"Something bad happened, when I wore the red T-shirt."
"What happened?"
"I... think... I made someone... mad."
"Who?"
"Do I have to say?"
"No. Do you mean angry-mad or mad-mad?"
Both? Neither? I watch the yellow clock tick my sixteen seconds. "I'm not sure."
