Why People Really Act Out - Wellbeing Wisdom Tiny Bites Podcast

Is there someone in your life who always seems to be angry? The tiniest little thing sets them off and there’s nothing you can do to soothe their anger? How much do you know about their back story?

Often someone who shows the world an angry face is simply being aggressively defensive. They’re afraid of rejection or of being hurt, or they’ve had something that left them feeling so sad and so all alone that their defense is to push people away.

Can you feel some compassion for someone like that, instead of condemnation for their out-of-control anger?

I’m not suggesting that you should put yourself in danger, just that instead of judging them as lacking self-control, maybe just understand that they could be in great emotional pain. Unless you’re a therapist, you probably can’t help them very much. When you can show them that some people aren’t afraid of their anger, you might just light a tiny candle of hope and trust inside them that will make them want to behave differently.
