People who are unable to control their anger. Especially if they let it go into shouting and being physical.
I get being angry. We have all felt furious for various reasons. But nothing good will come from throwing a tantrum. Behaving like an unstable manchild will only make me loose my respect for you.
One can't let themselves be defined by what's done to them, only what they've done in response. Those who act like toddlers in response to life's obstacles should be treated as such, while those who react calmly and constructively are exhibiting virtue, and will probably get further as well.
Well put!
There is an appropriate place and time for healthy expression of anger. That much said, few people consider this.
I tend to find them funny, and entertaining.
When a persons response seems far outside the norm, I know it's not about me anymore. Then I just try to enjoy the show.
When they calm down, I might ask what it was really all about. Which can be constructive sometimes, or just it'll just send them into another performance. Either way is a different kind of win.
