Angriness is also energy, why not beside other perceptions and watch it as an energy, it give distance……
La colère est aussi une energie, pourquoi ne pas, en plus d’autres perceptions et approches, la percevoir en tant que telle, cela donne du recul…

I heard in a program once that it does no one good to play the victim or to be quietly self righteous. It might be worthwhile to see if you had anything to do with the anger and if so make a small correction through communication or otherwise. That will help both of your growth potential. Who knows, maybe you behaved in a way that was insensitive to another person… or not. We do not live in vacuums relationships take two and not just the relationships that we pick and choose. Do what you can to make things better. That is all that you can do.

i tell them God did not put me here for you to scream at. If you want to scream at someone go scream in the mirror.

my only concern with not reacting is that other individuals recognize how you are being mistreated and assume its okay to treat you that way too. I feel like boundaries have to be respected in the workplace. I think you can point out their behavior with love and compassion but not completely ignore it. Otherwise it might eat away at you in the subconscious and you will have other problems. confronting it head-on is good in a calm and peaceful way.

You will meet that which expect to meet. You may change jobs, spouses, and countries, but you will always have to deal with your expectations.

I have dealt with this situation a few times. Often people do not know or do not care how their behavior impacts others. In my blog, I address how to handle this based on my experience. You may find it useful:

Also, the blog has link to HBR article that discusses how to handle this situation. Very valuable tips.

Using the tips in my blog and HBR blog, I’ve turned around someone who was angry at me for no reason. Now, this person has publicly praised my work.

Hi, This happened to me some years ago in my work. I change my job and country and suddenly I found another person yelling and angry, so I realize that this will not change no matter how many times I change my location and company to work. I had checked why it was affecting me and how (my body signals). So I started to meditate and get strong, I had to pass like 7 times to finally be in peace and calm no matter the screams of my coworker. I was in complete peace, just seeing the scene in slow motion. My coworker just looked at my face and immediately he stopped. This never happened to me again. It’s like to discover the unknown value in the equation.

I have 2 angry people like that in my life- my mother and my boyfriend. I understand when its a friend or a random person on the street you just send them love and ignore the anger. But what do you do when it is someone close to you. I find it very abusing around them even though i love them, I have to constatly be psycologist when I am around. For now i think it is best for me to stop beign around and see what comes out of these.

Someone misused my words again yesterday. However , yesterday, my mother bought me an ‘Infinite stone’ when we went out together; I’m holding it in the palm of my hand right now… (Q) Know the source of this stone Deepak ? (It’s green & beautiful .)
