Can Someone Make You Angry?

Heck yeah!! People can say outrageously rude things and be ridiculously inappropriate to one another!

And, if you didn't get angry when a boundary has been severely crossed, I would have to wonder if you still had a pulse.
On the other hand angry feelings and angry actions are vastly different.

People often make the mistake of thinking angry feelings and angry actions are synonymous with hostility and aggression. They are vastly different. You have choices and options on what to do and how to be when you are made angry. The key to controlling anger is to develop competence in self-awareness, self-control, social awareness and relationship management.

Anger is a normal human emotion and should not be considered synonymous with hostility and aggression. You don't land in anger management for getting angry. You land in anger management or worse yet, in a hospital, lose your job or spouse because of the inappropriate expression of your anger which can range from inappropriate outburst, throwing objects or physical confrontation for an example.

The popular notion that someone else can trigger your anger into inappropriate behaviors is nonsense. It is a failure to not take responsibility for one's own behavior. Regardless of what happens in your life, you are always responsible for your action.

The key to controlling anger is to develop competent self-awareness, self-control, social awareness and relationship management.

In my anger management classes at the Anger Management Institute, I teach you how to enhance your skills and emotional intelligence so you can control your anger and lead a life where you are self-aware, have self-control, and develop or nurture positive relationships.

Need anger management? Having problems getting along with colleagues, friends, or co-workers? I'm sure I can help you.
