Anger is one of those silent beasts that can slowly eat you and the people you love away. The problem with anger is that while most of us experience it on a daily basis, we’ve been trained to ignore it. Therefore, more often than not, we push it at the back of our mind and try to focus on something else.
Unfortunately, it doesn’t erase your initial feeling of anger. It is stored for later use. And you can be sure that the next time you’ll feel angry, that previous feeling you’ve not allowed yourself to express is going to pop out ten times stronger than it was. Because it doesn’t matter how hard you try, you can’t always contain your anger. Sometimes, it’s too strong to remain hidden, silently at the back of your mind. And that’s when the worst happens: you speak in anger. The things you say or write then can’t be erased. They will haunt you and others forever. Therefore, we must learn to silence our anger EFFECTIVELY.

It feeds the trolls
Your angry words can only fuel further anger. It’s precisely the world that online trolls live in. They belittle and attack individuals online, using anger as a tool to power their abusive flood of words. And that is what we are all at risk of turning into when we join a social media feed in anger. Yes, you may disagree with people. But don’t let the angry monster come out.
It doesn’t solve anything
With on average 336 car accidents happening every day in the UK, chances are you’ll get involved in one of those one days. Granted, it’s frustrating when your vehicle gets damaged. Things can get even worse if you are injured in the process. But one thing is for sure: anger and violence are not going to help you out of it. Instead, you need to rely on the rational behaviour and expertise of a car accident lawyer to resolve the problem. The same principle applies to any obstacle you might encounter in life. Anger is never the solution!
It creates long-lasting issues
Everybody can have a bad day. We’ve all had one of those days where everything seems to go wrong. And when it happens, you want to scream at people. So it should be easy for us to recognise the same alarming signs of an emotional breakdown in our peers. When you suddenly find yourself trapped in a screaming contest with someone, you know you’ve let the conflict escalate unnecessarily. Recognising anger in others and not letting it affect you is the first rule of resolving and de-escalating a conflict situation.

You will regret it forever
Things that are said in anger are meant to hurt others. They rarely miss their targets, but, unfortunately, they can’t be forgotten. When you speak in anger, you can say incredibly mean and hurtful things because your sole purpose is to evacuate your frustration through inflicting pain. As a result, you can damage your relationships with your friends, relatives or even partner.
In conclusion, you should never let anger get the best of you. Evacuating your anger is all about understanding the triggers and finding the best solution for the situation you are experiencing at the time. If you still find yourself boiling inside with rage even after solving the problem, you might find it helpful to look for anger management discussions that can tap into deeper, unsolved issues.
