Anger is a tough one to get my brain to solve. I do get defensive --- as hard as I try not to. I don't like when people make harsh criticisms of my behavior when inside I'm feeling differently.
Funny example: I live in a cold weather state so a few weeks ago when the soft serve ice cream stand finally opened my son was chomping at the bit to go a few days after it opened. He ordered a chocolate cone. The girl said, "Oh, we don't have chocolate today, only vanilla." I laughed and said to him, "I guess they only have half their selections today ... maybe they should post a sign." And the girl said, "You're harsh." My son laughed and ordered vanilla. I didn't feel harsh. But when a shop only has two flavors and they don't have one of them, I just called them like I see them. I work in retail so that was my mentality. I think she was harsh.
I would love to not be so angry at the little stuff and the big stuff. And understanding why I'm so angry doesn't seem to get me anywhere.
