Chapter 8: Post 2: Expressing Anger


I think that I have always been a person who blows up during conflict. I’m the type of person who will let something slide and bite my tongue but when I can’t take it anymore, I get overwhelmed with emotions to the point where I can’t control my anger and just blow up. However, I have learned recently that I need to handle things differently. Lately I have approached conflict a little better than before. I am actually thinking before speaking as well as listening to the other party.
The outcome of expressing your anger by blowing well normally makes the situation worse. You are full of emotions and typically say things you don’t mean which hurt the other party and they end up doing the same. I’ve found it very beneficial to calm down and think about the conflict before speaking. It tends to work the best and although it takes time, I am heading in that direction.
