Anger
Everyone gets angry & experiences anger. Some will say it is or isn't bad to be angry. I say it's both. It's good to be angry because it allows you to experience an emotion and access a situation differently. You gain a new perspective, opinion and belief about said topic when it makes you feel angry or any other emotion for that matter. I say it's bad because if you let anger dictate your life and your actions and if you let that overpower what you do/say then it can make things turn for the worst. Your anger might cloud your judgement and cause you to say something in a way that you didn't necessarily mean for it to sound, but your emotion changes the context of your words.
For me personally, it takes A LOT to get me genuinely angry. I can find a ton of petty little things that irritate me and make me want to flip a table but none of those things hold that much value to me that I would actually physically do it or consider it in any way shape or form. When I experience anger, it mostly starts out with irritation or frustration and I begin to dwell on it and somehow it levels up into this emotion called anger. I think anger can be expressed differently & I believe there are different levels or cases of anger. I tend to not be angry for very long should I hit the point of experiencing anger. I also make it a priority to never take my anger out on another person. I try to reflect inward and take it out on myself or no one at all.
When I experience anger, I try to release it and calm myself down and return to a positive atmosphere. What you are experiencing and feeling has a huge impact on the people around you. The way you feel can alter your mood to be with other people, to listen to a certain kind of music, to say certain words etc... and I think it's important to be able to acknowledge your anger and how to deal with it properly. Especially, in cases like being at work or around family and children. The way you present yourself will have a huge impact on how people perceive you as a person and could make you lose your job, lose a friend etc...
I think anger is necessary in life. I mentioned previously that anger allows us to gain new perspectives, change and grow about our beliefs etc... it allows us to judge things different and realize who we are and what sets us off. When something makes you angry, I think it's important to analyze what kind of anger is it. For example, say you're in a relationship and you found out that person you're with has been lying to you. That would make most people angry and you're most likely going to speak up and lash out on that person. Whereas say you're trying to fix your bike and you mess up or hurt yourself. That is a different kind of anger/frustration. So there are different cases of anger and each kind affects us differently and causes us to react/handle things differently.
How do you handle your anger? Do you take walks? Do you take a shower? Do you stop talking and just spend time by yourself? Do you have to talk about it? Do you get violent? Do you play video games to release stress? Do you listen to music?
For me personally, because I don't get angry often and when I do it doesn't last long, there isn't really much for me to consider and analyze. When I do feel angry I do embrace the feeling and take that opportunity to look inward and find out how I can be a better person and handle that situation differently in a better way etc... when I am experiencing any form of discomfort, I turn to music and the internet. I've devoted my life to the internet for 13 years & so any time I feel the need to express myself, onto the internet I go! I like the anonymity of it and something about being at a computer gives you a boost in confidence. Plus I am a lot better at typing than speaking.
Do you get angry often? If you get angry, how do you handle it?
What makes you most angry?
I'm curious!
