Hello everyone, good evening. Welcome to My Blog today.
Anger is a natural human phenomenon that has to do with the way we express emotions at different points in life. Anger usually takes some time to build up. It is usually caused by a small buildup of frustration and situations that truly push me to the wall and cross my personal boundary.
In 500 words, I will describe myself as someone who tries to stay calm as much as possible in situations that push me to the world. I tend to observe first and know what is happening, then try to understand the situation before I jump into action. However, it looks like any other person in these moments will automatically get angry.
There are moments when my patience runs out. I'm not the type of person that gets angry easily. I'm not the type that gets angry easily over little issues or small inconveniences like misunderstandings. Mistakes do not usually push me to anger; instead, I see them as a part of life. But if it comes to being disrespected repeatedly or facing lies and situations where I feel I'm taken for granted, anger fully begins to build up. It is not immediate.
Anytime I finally get angry, it is usually because I have held in my feelings for a long time. At this stage, my reaction can be more intense than what is expected, and this is because it has been accumulating for a long period of time. At this time, I become more withdrawn or just decide to maintain my distance from everyone, because I am not someone who likes shouting or blowing things out of proportion. So, I resort to silence instead; it's my way of maintaining control.
There is one thing that I have noticed about myself, and it is the fact that I value self-control a lot. Even when I'm angry, I try to stay aware of my actions. This is because I don't like hurting people with my words or actions. I often find myself taking a step backward so I can have space to focus on something else to calm my mind. In this way, I don't overreact.
I quickly calm down, and it depends on the situation. If the issue is something small that can be resolved easily, I calm down fairly quickly. A simple conversation or apology can help me change things, but it might take a longer time. In such cases, calming down is about understanding and healing.
I have learned over time that anger itself is not always the problem. So what's important is how we handle it. It all makes the difference. I try to process anger in a healthy way by talking to someone that I trust, reflecting on what caused the anger, asking myself questions whether it really matters in the situation, or if there are other ways I could manage it; please have helped me through emotionally and control my emotions.
Another very important thing to learn is to forgive, not just others, but also myself. Holding onto anger for a long time can be very exhausting and harmful, so I always try to let go of it. That doesn't mean I forget what happened, but I choose not to let it control my emotions.
Generally, I would say I am someone who doesn't get angry easily, but when I do, it must have valid reasons, and I also have time to calm down depending on how serious the situation is. Over time, I have learned that staying calm and understanding my emotions is the best response to anger.
