Day 4100: Other people’s anger

Because I’ve been dealing with other people’s anger lately, I decided to finish and record my new song, “Other People’s Anger.”

.

Throughout my life, other people’s anger has gotten too much of my attention. When I was in the hospital with a heart condition when I was very young, I was at the mercy of doctors and nurses, some of whom showed their anger and impatience. As a result, it’s been difficult for me to feel safe when I’ve encountered angry words, looks, or even tones.

Because of all the work I’ve done in therapy, other people’s anger doesn’t bother me as much these days, although I sometimes need to remind myself that “it’s safer than it feels” when somebody is angry at me.

Interestingly enough, other people’s anger doesn’t bother me in the therapy groups I facilitate. Instead, I see that as an opportunity for people to accept and understand anger better.

Do you see other people’s anger in my images for today?

My husband Michael thinks social workers should lurk in the cereal aisle at the supermarket, taking kids away from parents who buy cereal like this, which would definitely cause other people’s anger.

What are your thoughts and feelings about other people’s anger?

Thanks to all who help me deal with other people’s anger, including YOU!
