Hello to everyone once again and welcome back to my blog. I hope everyone has a nice time reading my entry for today's prompt.
Anger is a strong feeling of displeasure or hostility that every human being can feel at one point or another towards someone or something. And, every person has their own way of dealing with this emotion.
Some choose to stay silent and let whatever triggered them pass, probably because they're not good with expressing this emotion and they know that once they do, things could go haywire. Then there are others—like me, who can't keep it in when they get angry because when we do (or maybe when I do because other people might have different reasons) it feels like we've wronged ourselves. There's this feeling of ‘I should have just let it out there and then, in the moment, instead of keeping quiet’, you know.
Personally, it hurts me deep down when someone wrongs me and gets me angry—when I'm obviously the one who's right, and I have to or just don't get back at that person in the moment. Suppressing anger isn't really the right remedy for me. I have to let it all out, then or later to feel better. And that's what I decided over time.
Of course, when I say that I like to let it all out at the moment, it doesn't mean I turn an argument or something into a fight. I just try as much as possible to prove my point and make the other person understand that I am right and when I think I've done enough, I stop. Regardless of if the other person decides to continue. Once I feel like I have made my point, even if I then decide to keep quiet, I don't feel wronged or regretful.
Being polite even while expressing anger is something I try as much as possible to do. There are people that drop politeness and rain insults when they get angry but one has to take it easy when dealing with such people. If there's one thing I've learned, it's that when both parties decide not to take it easy with their anger, things could get physical.
One party has to take it easy if the other doesn't want to. That way, matters could be resolved without having to get physical. It's even better when both parties are cool headed. Then, they speak their mind to each other, letting each other know about how they feel they were wronged without even having to raise voices or throw insults and things get resolved easily.
I've had to deal with both types of people and even though I have to make my feelings known, judging by the kind of atmosphere in which we're both expressing our anger, I'm able to do it without letting the emotion get the best of me.
So to summarize everything above, I am the type that expresses my anger because I feel like holding it in would only lead to holding grudges and pain that leads to regret. The only time I have to stay silent even when I'm angry would be when it has to do with a much older person, like parents or teachers or other elderly people. But even then, we still rant it out to our own colleagues to feel better 😸
That is my entry on today's prompt for the February inleo. Thank you for reading
