Angry 12th October 2020
We could have got angry over technology tonight
I get angry when technology doesn’t work
Kay is not angry – she just accepted the fact she couldn’t get on for tonight’s session
When things don’t turn out, I get angry
Perhaps frustration first then anger
What makes you angry?
Injustices
I don’t argue but I feel anger
I don’t show it but I feel it inside
I have been angry with my life
Now I don’t want to waste my time and life with anger
The journey to anger is frustration
With unnecessary rules, injustice,
Some drivers on the road, doing stupid things,
Now I see it differently – I don’t feel so angry
With serious things going on in the world its better to focus on things that need attention
Not silly things
I get angry when things are unfair
I try not to waste energy if I can’t control it
I now focus on the big picture –
I often shoot my mouth off in a spurt but then it dissipates…
Some people don’t get angry
They don’t notice others
They may not care…
I get angry when people have to be right
With narcissists….
Anger is when people are bitter…
Mums cupboards full of blankets!
Men? I don’t know what makes me angry…
I don’t show my anger.
Tantrums some people do tantrums…
Can you control anger?
I go silent… I think about how to express it…
My daughter shouts… I leave it and once it calms down, I begin a conversation
Is it OK to feel anger
What is it?
It’s not the anger – it’s the expression of anger
Some Shout, hit, or are passive…
I’ve found to express it – how I feel – gets it out
If not it doesn’t go away…
Not the anger, the intensity… more about how it is shown
The face says it all
We are not taught how to express anger…
Kids are told to shut it down
To suppress it
We don’t know how to get it out – we are not encouraged to get it out
There are only 2 things fear and love
Any emotion comes back to love and fear…
Honesty is part of it…
We find it hard to be honest and express
Often we get shut down… and that stops it
Anger is Ok
It’s OK to be angry
Greta Thunberg could have said she was upset…
Instead she got up and showed she was angry
And that lead people to listen…
anger was channeled into an emotional statement that was received and made a difference…
Let’s help our kids release the anger
In an effective way.
Tone can tell us the state of anger
Some people are sensitive to tone
A look
Can be threatening to someone else
Do we give people the space to be angry?
If it is imposed it is difficult…
If I don’t express my anger I just get sad
Sadness can lead to depression
We are meant to express
Watching someone watching the computer instead of communicating… makes me angry
Time wasting for me… Is relaxation for others… Perhaps I should change my attitude… it’s a difference in values
I could just join in…
Or jump on every screen in the house and then what???
Great suggestion Gloria…
Often people say ‘don’t get angry with me’
To warn them, so that they are prepared…
Express your anger..
If you can’t take a tablet, just jump on one…
