Re: Anger management - recommendations

Do you believe this ?

Or is some significant other suggesting that perhaps because you have a knack for always getting the upper hand in discussions - and so he blames it on your anger - rather than admit his defeat in intellect?

oh damn - that was good, eh?

LOL, who told you ? The same person, i.e. husband / SO or different people ? If it comes from different people you may have a problem, I have no clue, but if it comes from one particular person close to you, I would say you don't.

Re: Anger management - recommendations

How do you feel about it? Do you think you have a hard time controlling your anger? Does it seem like your bp rises every day due to something or someone that has pissed you off?
Can you just laugh things off, walk away, or ignore situations that get to you? Do you "go off" on someone daily?

If you are not comfortable with your answers to those questions, then maybe it wouldn't hurt to check into something that might help you to feel better and control your emotions a little more. I would think that if you do have a problem with anger, then you would definitely feel better physically as well as mentally if you can get help with it, you know? ((((((HUGS))))))

Re: Anger management - recommendations

Why do you suppose it is that you are "mean"? Do you say ugly things to people intentionally to hurt their feelings? If so, then do you know why you do this? Do you have time to think before you speak, or do you just blurt out meanness before you have a chance to think about what you are saying? Is it "knee-jerk" or do you really "dig" to find something that you will know will be hurtful?

Are you trying to "get them" before they can "get you"? If you are aware of this "quirk" people think you have, then do you want to change this about yourself? Or do you feel that what you say is well justified?

Re: Anger management - recommendations

We all need some type of anger management. Why, because we all have emotions, expectations, and passion. Just need to learn how to control it. Difficult, I have gotten so much better at it. I had to accept that that most things that I thought was important, probably wasn't. What is important is getting along and being happy. Live your life to meet your expectations. So many times we expect our spouse's to meet our expectations and when they don't we are so critical that we get angery with each other. I'm not always right, but I'm not always wrong. Respect each others opinion and expectations. In other words don't put expectations on each other.

My friend is very quiet & holds things in then she got an ulcer, Dr. said to let anything bothering you out and be more aggressive. So in a way, it's good to let it out and not hold it inside. Holding things in can make you sick.
