How to show anger without burning bridges

[cherry123]

Sometimes we get so hurt by a friend or family thaf you just want to show you are angry but you don't want any strains in the relationship. How can this be handled?

 

[Starmix]

Sometimes I can handle it by just ignoring my anger by eating what I like to eat like ice cream and fried chicken hehehe and sometimes diving in the sea, but there are also times that I am out of control.

I think self control is better here

I use to be frank with people. Once you offend me, I will not waste time to tell you that am hurt and will not tolerate it again. I think friendship is all about minding the boundaries between us. I am not too concerned about the bridge. If the bridge will break, so be it.

 

[Starmix]

There should be limit and not to cross the boundaries because we might be out of patience.

I say what I want to say then and then sit down and drink a glass of water, but the anger is natural phenomena it remain somewhat difficult to control myself.

It's hard to control especially if we are not guilty we're only accused of something not done.

When I was hurt and get angry, I'll tell the friend or family member honestly how I feel. And then I'll just stay away from him/her for a while and let myself calm down.

You can snub the person for as long as long as you want to. Avoid confrontations because it is the root of burning bridges when unpleasant things are said to each other.

Sad to say that I cannot keep my anger if it does happen. I am a frank person and will say the ugly truth without any inhibitions.

The best way to do this would be to give yourself time before you respond. You don't have to respond immediately.

That's very true my brother. That response at the heat of the moment can just be the thing that would shatter those bridges.
