So you try to think of someone else you're mad at, and the unavoidable answer pops into your little warped brain: everyone.

Interpretation
The line captures a familiar psychological spiral: anger that begins with a specific grievance expands until it feels indiscriminate. The speaker’s self-mocking phrasing (“little warped brain”) suggests both shame and helplessness—an awareness that the mind is distorting reality while still being unable to stop. The “unavoidable answer” implies that the anger is less about any one person than about a deeper, generalized resentment or pain. In that sense, the quote points to how unresolved hurt can turn outward, making the world itself feel culpable, and how emotional overwhelm can flatten moral distinctions between people into a single target: everyone.
