Racism, sexism and all the various other “hate these people” isms and phobias are arguably methods for expressing and rationalizing anger. And they’re bad. But what’s a good way?

    1. Consider what it is and why it made you angry

    2. Think about ways to avoid that issue/reason again

    2.5. If that reason is a person, figure out if there’s anything you can reasonably do to change the situation which caused the anger

    1. If you can make changes, make them. If not, don’t fret over it and continue your day with the full understanding that you’ve done all you can and it isn’t worth any more of your time.

    I my life, anger has always been a very short lived emotion. I cannot fathom being actively angry for more than 30 seconds at a time. Even if I hit the full 30 I figure it’s probably time to break from whatever I’m doing and hydrate/eat.

      These are strategies for resolving anger, not expressing it. There are plenty of scenarios where anger is a valid response, and people have a right to express it in those scenarios.
