I think that anger is the only acceptable emotion besides happiness sometimes… and anger is the only way to be heard, to be respected, and to have your boundaries respected.
I meant to say it as I channel the emotion assertively not aggressively while expressing my needs without being pushy, threatening, or blaming. Aggression only seeks to punish or control, while assertion seeks to resolve. Knowing your boundaries is one way I use assertiveness in daily life. It might come off sounding like a dick sometimes, but if I don’t like something or it upsets me I pretty much will tell you straight up how I feel about it like you just did meIf you use anger to be heard and respected, you're not gaining control of anything, you're losing it.
Someone tries to use anger to try and control me and I'd lose any respect I had for them.
im sorry BeautifulCrying at work today. I f-ing hate looking weak in a place I want to seem calm and in control.

Work for me is a prime example and I feel I am not smart enough to handle all the dumbasses I deal with on a daily bases -_- So I get assertive when they get aggressive and make them leave… daily life carries on, cycle continues. Really I am the point where I wanna send parts flying at people, but I don’t because I might not stop XD That’s aggressive isn’t it?
I said it to Stan's audacity not to love us all
Lol good dealThats completely different from saying you need to be angry to be heard and respected. This I understand. If you straight up tell me how you feel, we'll get along just fine lol
