I’ve been writing a new song called “Other People’s Anger.”
At the risk of triggering other people’s anger, what do you think of those lyrics?
Can you see other people’s anger in any of my images for today?
Other people’s anger might bother me, but not the Daily Bitch’s.
Here’s what I find when I search for “other people’s anger” on YouTube.

Other people’s anger isn’t bothering me so much now.
Thanks to all who help me deal with other people’s anger, including YOU!
Good lyrics are flowing from you lately, Ann.
How to hold drumsticks are timely tips on Thanksgiving week, I think.
Good comment, my very good friend!
you’re on a roll, ann -. and not a dinner roll.
Drum roll for this comment, beth!
Your lyrics make for a moving song but I cannot imagine anyone being angry at you, and so reading them makes me feel protective of you and unhappy with whoever is causing you distress. What a complicated song!
I am going to look up the make the beast beautiful book.
Thanks, as alway, Maureen, for your beautiful empathy.
On the rare occasions when someone has been angry with me, I am flummoxed. Defensive, but mostly wanting to know why. But, truth be told, I mostly want to know why so that I can explain to them why they are wrong. I suspect that’s the wrong approach.
I wouldn’t say that’s the “wrong” approach, Barbara. Most people struggle with how to approach and deal with anger. Here’s a great TED talk about anger: https://youtu.be/sbVBsrNnBy8?si=w78g9UExpX0sqD3t
Most of the time my own anger directed at myself–although I think “frustration” is a better word for it–is all I can handle without worrying about other people’s anger.
Your songs, though, definitely help me feel better.
Your comments definitely help me feel better, Chris.
There’s a lot of useless anger in the world due to misunderstandings and lack of knowledge. I like your song, Ann
I like your comment and thank you!
Just looked up Sarah Wilson’s book on Amazon and saw that she came to terms with her anxiety travelling the world living out of two suitcases. Unfortunately I’m far too anxious to travel the world living out of two suitcases. I’d just be worrying all the time about what could go wrong. 😀
Most people are too anxious to do that, Annabelle!
