Anger

What could cause you to be angry right away? In my case I am not easy to anger. You will really have to hurt me a lot to trigger it. It's not really good as people tend to abuse me, knowing my patience and forgiving nature.

I don't anger easily but people who are supposed to be intelligent,such as some teachers and social workers I've worked for and with do make me angry when they seem to have no common sense.

What makes me really angry is when I go out of my way to help someone at some cost to myself, especially someone close to me, and then try to take advantage of me. That makes me furious!!!

The thing that makes me mos angry is ignorance ,bad manners is the height of ignorance and especially the ignorant people who are able bodied and park in handicapped parking spaces , really gets me angry but what makes me more angry is I can never say anything to them xx

I have a rather "strange" personality. In some ways I'm not easy to anger at all BUT that being said I am not one to take anyones crap either. Basically if you do something ignorant or rude, etc and it would anger me per say instead of allowing anger to take over I quickly nip it in the bud and talk to you about it. We find our problem and move on. I am quick to forgive. The one thing that will bring the rath of hockeygal on is doing wrong to my kids. I'll nail you on the spot if you hurt one of mine! LOL

I hope the ones who abuse you have trouble sleeping at night because they know they did something wrong. Maybe they'll learn not to do it again. Thievery makes me angry, especially when it's practiced against people who can least afford it.

For someone to ignore me,and to act like I don't count,or just act as though they don't care...that makes me angry...I also don't like for anyone to take what i say as an innocent statement and turn it into a big deal ,that makes me angry too...I don't like to be abused either,it first hurts your feelings and then that turns to anger..I also have a forgiving nature,its like "oh she'll get over it"..If you stand up for yourself ,then they say you are touchy,and i don't like that either.I wish I knew the answer but i don't....Good lucl emilie,I think you and I face the same battle.

I can relate to what you're saying! I'm also very patient, forgiving, and slow to anger. It takes a lot of 'button pushing' before I get mad. One of the things that makes me mad is when somebody purposefully takes advantange of that over and over. I'm not a doormat, but I was brought up to be helpful when asked, and there is where a lot of people try to take advantage.

I have a very harsh temper, but it takes a whole LOT to set it off. For the most part I don't pay enoug attention to anyone or anything to get me angry. Anything to do with someone bothering a family member or one of my animals will get me angry quicker than anything else. I am sever ADHD which is a blessing if you have a harsh temper like mine. LOL I can't concentrate enoug to let anyone bother me.

Anger is truly a choice. There are so many ways to communicate that being quick to anger is just not good for anybody. I think you could do much to stand up for yourself and not let people be wrong with you. Could almost do so with kindness. No one has the right to mistreat you. I hope you find balance in this situation.

To my kids- I get angry when they dont follow me even if I already told them a few times already with warning.. To my husband- I get angry when he acts so selfish and laze around To my friends - when they are trying to act like big shots and a know it all person when they don't know anything... but most of all over all is when someone hurts my children...

I used to get angry very quickly until a few years ago. Now I've learned to control my anger a lot more. It takes a great deal to cause me to lose my cool with someone. At this point, because of my past nature, I don't allow anyone to get away with taking advantage of me. However sometimes it happens, and it does start to make me annoyed but I let it go if it is not something very serious or detrimental to those around me or myself. I advise that you let people know their boundaries with you - if something upsets you or hurts you - you have to let them know straight away otherwise they will continue to do so until one day it will cause you to errupt.

I also do not anger easily, but I do get very irritated when people are disinterested in what they are doing. I mean, why bother doing it all. People should not abuse you because of your good nature, that is not very nice of them. Hope you have a really good day!

To me if somebody not honest with me, talk about me behind my back and make fool of me, I would be very angry. However I am very awed with your patience and forgiving nature. I wish I could be like you. Have a nice day, friend.

I'm like you, am slow to anger but when I do look out I'm going to blow - that's what my kids say, "Look out she's gonna blow!" I think what usually angers me most is when other people are stupid or hurt others - I tend to defend other people quicker than I defend myself.
