PASSAGE – I (5 Questions)
The instinctive, natural way to
express anger is to respond aggressively. Anger is a natural, adaptive response
to threats; It inspires powerful, often aggressive, feelings and behaviours,
which allow us to fight and to defend ourselves when we are attacked. On the
other hand, we can’t physically lash out at every person or object that
irritates or annoys us; laws, social norms and common sense place limits on how
far our anger can take us. People use a variety of both conscious and
unconscious processes to deal with there angry feelings. The three main
approaches are expressing, suppressing and calming. Expressing your angry
feelings in an assertive – not aggressive manner is the healthiest way to
express anger. Being assertive doesn’t ‘ mean being ‘pushy or demanding; It
means being respectful of yourself and others. Anger can be suppressed and then
converted or redirected. This happens when you hold in your anger, stop thinking
about it and focus on something positive.
