No need to get mad

-
Engaging in an argument doesn’t help. We often expect people to change magically. It’s much better to tell and help them bring that change. For example, if they have a bad breath, offer them gum instead of being pissed off. It’s that simple.
-
Instead of being aggressive,use assertive communication to address the situation or confront the person making you angry because there’s no need to get mad. Have patience and help them and help yourself by being transparent and specific with your requests.
-
Take deep breaths and let go of your anger and find the real source of your annoyance. You’ll understand that your offense is entirely petty. Acknowledge that your feelings of resentment don’t serve you a productive purpose.
But that’s just my take. Comment and share yours.
