If you get angry many times in a day, it is time for you to think about how to deal with it. Here are some of my suggestions.
When you are angry, try to tell yourself through another voice that you are angry and that it is not a b thing. It just shows that you have different ideas. Accept that many things are not 100% right or wrong, our communication with others, the final purpose is not to decide who is right and who is wrong, but to look for something in common.
If you still feel strong anger, try taking a deep breath and let anger out of your body along with the breath. Don’t say angry words when you are very angry, for you will regret saying them when you cool down.
Discussing with a third party is helpful. It is hard for the two parties in anger to understand each other. but the idea of an outsider can help both parties to get mutual (相互的) understanding.
Anger is just one of the many emotions that make us human, and to well manage it adds to our ability to truly understand the world.
