Do You Control Your Anger or Does It Control You?
You Manage Your Fury Just Right What this means: Congratulations ‑- you handle anger in a healthy, effective way. Instead of exploding or shying away when provoked, you take time to think through how a situation makes you feel and choose your words carefully to articulate those emotions. As a result, your chances of fixing an irksome problem while keeping relationships intact are very high.
How your style harms you: It doesn't! In fact, your anger style can benefit you. Because you're not afraid of anger, you are able to listen to someone else's grievances without getting defensive, says Deborah Cox, Ph.D., coauthor of The Anger Advantage. You know that talking about your differences can help strengthen your relationships without ending them.
Do-better wisdom: Although your natural inclination is to talk things out, your approach may not work every time. Someone who refuses to voice her anger may find you intimidating, while an explosive type may only be interested in huffing and puffing. Be flexible and evaluate each situation thoughtfully. If the conversation you're trying to have with an irate coworker, for instance, is going nowhere, walk away. Sometimes, the best course of action is to just chill out ‑- take a breather outside or spend a moment staring at a favorite family photo at your desk.
