It does sound harsh, yes. "Would be just as likely to be pissed off." and "It's sad I don't know how to yell at you." are very real and visceral sentences and they are rather angry. I'm not sure what I would change to make it resigned, except to convey somehow that there were experiences you wanted to share but couldn't? That you missed out on having a male influence but got used to it? I'm not sure if those two things are representative of your experiences but I think they convey resigned actuality.
