Anger issues?
Does anyone struggle with anger towards others when they are not doing everything the way you think is most efficient? Or with inanimate objects when they don’t do things your way? It’s like a constant battle in my brain of being angry and trying to stop the anger patterns. It creates an irrational situation with most of my relationships, especially coworkers or roommates. I’ll spend hours rehearsing how I would tell them I like things to be done, imagining them not caring then being angry with them. I have full on fights between non existent people in my head. It only truly goes away when I’ve exited the space for the day and realize it was never a big deal to begin with, just to come back again because I never approached them about it. I don’t like being a mean person, and my attitude comes out as I’m dealing with this in my head. I don’t like being unlikable. Every word out of my mouth becomes condescending. I want to be nice to people, yet I don’t get how they do the things they do. Drives me insane. Has anyone found good coping methods for this? I tried looking up anger management podcasts but they are all geared towards men and I find that their roots for anger are different than mine.
