“I was the worst to those I loved the most. I constantly felt like a failure, hated myself and then blamed you for how I felt. I had to accept that all my problems weren’t the fault of everyone else and that my blame game was a cop-out.” ~Evan Katz
Being Right is often as Happy as Angry People ever get.
Angry people are often described as abusive—emotionally, verbally and sometimes even physically. They rage like hurricanes, hurting those closest to them. They don’t realize that they are the root causes of their anger, so they blame others. Tragically, they are completely unaware that their anger is fueled by intense feelings, of shame, self-hatred, fear of failure, loneliness and rejection.
Facing fear is the last thing most people want to do. But for those with anger problems, facing their fears is a must if they are to find permanent change. Angry people don’t recognize the intensity of the emotional pain they inflict on others; usually those they love the most. They are in denial of the truth; that it is their anger that is pushing away those who love them; not the other way around. Until they are ready to face these facts, they will live a shameful, lonely, angry and regretful life. To break the anger cycle they must face difficult feelings about themselves and deal with their fears surrounding trust.
Honestly ask yourself these 8 simple questions:
-
HAS IT EVER BEEN SUGGESTED THAT YOU MIGHT HAVE AN ANGER PROBLEM?
-
DO YOU SOMETIMES WONDER WHY YOU GET SO ANGRY, OR ANGRY SO OFTEN?
-
DO YOU RESENT PEOPLE THAT HAVE TREATED YOU UNFAIRLY?
-
ARE YOU OFTEN CRITICAL OF YOURSELF OR OTHERS?
-
HAVE YOU BEEN TOLD (MORE THAN ONCE) THAT YOU “ALWAYS HAVE TO BE RIGHT’?
-
DO YOU FEEL, MORE OFTEN THAN NOT, THAT YOU DON’T GET THE RESPECT YOU DESERVE?
-
DO YOU HAVE DIFFICULTY LETTING OTHERS GET CLOSE TO YOU (DIFFICULTY TRUSTING)?
-
ARE YOUR GOOD INTENTIONS OFTEN MISINTERPRETED OR MISUNDERSTOOD?
If you answered yes to 2 or more questions then you likely have a problem with anger.

Counseling and Coaching
Do you or someone you know have an anger problem? My personal story, growing up as an angry boy and eventually becoming an angry man, has taught me that people with anger problems are usually the last one’s to know. They unconsciously use anger as a shield; protecting their emotions and denying their feelings of hurt and fear. Angry people act the worst to those they love the most. Being right is often as happy as they get. If you know an angry man or have a teenager you’re worried about, then contact The Anger Guy. He can help.
