I welcome you to my blog and another wonderful edition of the Hive Learners' featured post. We have different types of people walking the face of the earth. We have those who get angry at every little thing and tend to react. We have those who think every single thing that happens should get a reaction from them, and they go about reacting to almost everything, even those things that don't even require them to react. Then we have those who have seen how stressful reacting to everything can be and decided to work on their anger and make sure that not everything gets them to react.
I feel those who get angry easily are always the ones who let their anger control them, and then when they cool off or calm down, tend to regret their actions. I was once like that, and I did a lot of things that I started to regret when I calmed down and had to do a lot of apologizing afterwards even though they were the ones that caused it. Sometimes my actions tend to justify their wrongdoings, and I am forced to apologize because the action taken was way more than the sin committed.
I happen to be one of those who don't react to everything or get triggered easily. I was once one of those who are triggered by everything, but then I saw how much damage that has caused me, and I always tend to regret actually reacting. I had to start working on myself, and today I no longer react like that anymore. Now it takes a lot to actually get me to react; I watch, I observe, and I still might not react even after watching everything play out. Sometimes people tend to see me as someone they can push over or someone they can put under their feet, but I am not. I don't react or get angry easily; that does not make me a pushover.
It does take a lot to really get me angry, but the same way it took a lot to get me angry is the same way it takes a lot for me to calm down; better not get me angry or triggered because after that things might never go back to how they used to be. Sometimes you hear people say you have been mad or angry for too long; yes, that is exactly why I did not want to get mad in the first place. It is even more annoying when that comes from the same person that got you angry. My anger is not the type to go away like it is nothing; it takes way too long before I start to feel okay again, and for that reason I try to make sure it is worth it before I get angry.
There are people who get on your nerves this minute and expect you to be okay the next minute and act like nothing happened. As much as there are people like that, I am not one of them; I take time to get back to feeling okay, and as much as I hate getting angry, I just cannot escape having people push me into getting angry.
