Anger Management I'm rarely angry at people. Like shouting, name calling, door slamming angry. I get angry about things, but I don't see the point at getting angry at people. Well, that's not quite true. If the person is doing something stupid that is putting the health or safety of others at risk (like putting spent firework containers in the fire or throwing lit sparklers into a tree) then I'll get angry at them. Sometimes I wonder if I'm missing out on something though. Like big screaming matches with my significant other. Isn't fighting a part of being a couple? The Boy and I have never had a fight. We've had disagreements and misunderstandings, but they never go past the discussion stage. When I think about it objectively, this must be a good thing, since it shows we're both willing to talk things out and compromise. But I wonder sometimes about the lack of fights and if it shows a lack of deep feelings. On the whole, I find being angry at someone is often a waste of time while being angry about something often leads to positive action. I'm happy I can see the distinction and keep it in perspective. |
