Difference between men and women on expressing

ANGER

I was reading all the effects of negative emotions that can truly impact our lives and realized a very strong difference between all of us on expressing and or handling this trait.

But even more so between the male and the female species.

While anger is a very important part of our lives, provided it is done in a healthy way for the right time and for the right reasons, it truly can hurt our relationship if it is out of control. Anger management has become a very effective tool in family services offered to Californians, a part of the family restoration programs.

We get angry for so many reasons, there's no way around it. We're human beings, and part of our lives is beset with many things that, believe it or not, requires us to be angry.

Question: When do we need to get angry and how do we handle it?

What are the things you do when it happens? Perhaps an example would be nice specially if a positive result was achieved.

Thanks for all your participation and contributions.

Hi LJ,

Well there is justifiable anger. When a wrong has been committed against a person, this could be a cause for justifiable anger. Each person handles anger differently. As the saying goes: count to ten before you speak when you are angry. Let the steam out while you are counting. I don't always practice that but I try. I seldom get angry but I do get irritated! Can't think of the last time I was angry. The bible says: "Do not let the sun go down on your anger". In other words, try and resolve it right away! JMO

Have a wonderful day my friend!hug
Lindsy, certainly a shoe will come flying when I get angry! The good thing about this is that it doesn't happen quickly with me. Once my colleague at work had been annoying me and I had to pull myself together at the work place. At home I could feel free in being real angry! So, if I'm not home alone that person has to bring himself in safety before I step in ..
very mad laugh
Yes Jim. That's a good argument. Walk away when you can.
Hi LJ, we normally shut our eyes and open our mouths when angry. Atleast I do. I used to get blinded by anger and yell and scream alot. One method to control anger and avoid damage is Delay method. One US president Thomas Jefferson summed it up nicely , when angry count upto ten before you speak, if very angry count upto hundred. It does work. Normally I had to count 100 times 100. But improved. dunno teddybear hug
"Question: When do we need to get angry and how do we handle it?"

There should never be the need to get angry either in life or in a relationship.

Essentially anger appears when a person is unable to cope with a given situation.
Hi LJ, I don't know if a certain way of getting angry can be assigned to a gender, I have heard of men and women getting passive aggressive or physical abusive.

There are lots of reasons to get angry, let it be a situation that happens or a person treating us badly. The reaction to these situations shouldn't be getting out of hand imo, no getting abusive either verbally or physically.
LoL, here's a song about an angry woman..

Well angry feeling that are not triggered by any legitimate reason is plain crazy. We're not crazy, st least for me I've been only crazy in love.
Now I have been angry many a times. When MY students we're not giving their best as I knew they can, I was legitimately angry and after several warnings. I'd failed them, measure often underrated because truly we can give our best if we try.
Of course I was never unrealistic and in spite of my ratio on passing, my subjects were always full before any other professors were.

Today I'm occupied with this emotions for having been lied to and all my fault.
Then you have to forgive Lindsy. Forgiveness is the key to healing. And also forgive yourself!comfort hug
Calleis my friend, yes at home as opposed to some other places, we do exercise the freedom of being more driven with force and vent our feelings more openly.
Children are of course a normal subject of being angry if only to emphasize the need of learning.
Minerva my most loving and soulful friend of mine. I love your technique, specially for the kids.

I definitely recommend that.

My level of tolerance is high when it comes to handling anger. Being in the world of professional vocation, we're trained to be of utmost importance to practice good manners and right conduct. To be an example of controlled application of emotions. A fine line between being professional and not is a very questionable margin specially when dealing with aggressive people. It's best to calm down, think and don't face head on anybody that test you on this emotions.

I normally ignore and don't acknowledge this aggression by, like Jim says, walking away.
Usha thanks, I'm very aware of that and it does really work and wish all of us would use this technique.
Thanks my friend.
Various dark emotions you presented on here which like I mentioned in the very beginning of my blogging, are all gifted to us through life. We all have it. We're all subject to its force and effect. The difference is that we can attempt to improve and tame this emotions through practice and the willingness to improve our conduct.
Solamente, yes in fact if you're a robot and not programmed with such a trait perhaps the need is never called for, but you and I know it's not the case.
Have you ever been angry at all?

On your last statement yes, our failure to understand and lack of patience can make us prone to anger.
Yes my dear KN. We should not be abusive and be reasonable. Easier said than done.

But we wish we can all control and redirect these feelings so as not to regret our actions later.
Thanks Ken.
Yes my friend, forgiveness indeed is the only thing that release us from the bond age of hatred. A most likely result that stays with us should we fail to forgive.
Thanks again my friend
Hi Lindsey, you have got some great comments about anger and controlling it etc and why. All very good and agree. For me though when ever I feel like I could get angry and for me it is usually when someone has hurt someone I love rather than myself... I always just take a minute and remind myself how many times I may have hurt another... maybe without my realizing it. How many times I have needed someone to forgive me. This is a really humbling experience and usually takes any anger away VERY quickly ... as we ALL get it wrong sometimes.
I am sure you already do this as everyone on here but this really works for me. teddybear teddybear teddybear
I know it doesn't always work LJ and I have blown the odd fuse - but rarely and I haven't gotten really abusive. I think people should work on themselves if they start frighten other people or have regretted actions later.

Yes, anger can be a burning feeling, but don't burn all bridges.
KN my friend, I'd be lying if I'd deny my time myself, but betrayal is the hardest of a reason to be angry, injustice and inhuman treatment, the roots of angers that blow our fuses deep and strong.
All I can say that when the betrayal cuts the deepest, I wouldn't give someone the satisfaction of seeing how much it affected me (talking of himself and the past).

I do get angry but when it really cuts deep, I think it's better to walk away than to just explode there and then.
Exactly what I have done my friend. And wouldn't give the satisfaction of seeing my pain.
Good morning LJ, Hope you are doing well. Angry or being angry I see as a weak point of a person. When some people does not know how to cope or react what they do get angry and yell that is how those folks are dealing with it. Also some people who is in inside stress or unhappy inside blow that up on others through anger. I think they feel better at that point. My problem I cannot get angry even to increase my blood pressure, grin grin wine wine
I get angry for about 30 seconds and shout at things or people. it calms down then. Rarely... the anger extends beyond 30 seconds. When it does... it's show time. popcorn
Thanks Z and be careful and take care.

I'm fine thanks my friend.
Mad thanks and yep it's the highlights of people's lives when the show begins.
Our culture is so incomplete without sensationalizing anger. Look at all the movies, stories, news, all for the hype of anger enticement.
Thanks again Mad and take care.
