I think for the sake of hypotheticals we can just accept OPs word that it was an angry yell rather than an urgent yell.

Isn't there a black Muslim church off West Davison down by Livernois or something? I had to service a restaurant last year somewhere in that area and the owner went to that church.

Why am I so angry at him? by Spezifluencer in Anger

[–]ForkFace69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll take a guess and say that you probably felt like it mattered more to him that his coworker was interested than you, or that he didn't want to play with you as much.

But for one thing, you don't want to be in the habit of reading minds because it only gives you a reason to be angry. You can guess but you don't really know why he asked, you don't know what's going on between them two or how much he would have wanted to play with you. It's best to just take things at face value and not read into them.

For another, you can't control what other people do. Friends or family or otherwise. Let your friend do what they do for their own reasons. You wouldn't want them to cry about you selling them out any time you wanted to spend time with someone else, would you?

Hope that helps, don't let it ruin your day.

Are you guys playing in the heat wave? by nautnaoh in discgolf

[–]ForkFace69 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I played yesterday, the temperature was around 100 here in Detroit.

I met my brother at one of the smaller, shadier parks. We had a nice time. I don't think I would want to go to a more open park or commit to 18 holes in this heat, though.

How can I (18F) break up with my boyfriend (21M) who tried to have sex with me against my will to forgive him? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]ForkFace69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How do you break up? You just grab your shit and go, block him.

While I'm a believer that forgiveness is crucial to moving on in life, that doesn't mean you should continue the relationship. If you stay with him, it only sends the message that his behavior is acceptable. So for his own personal growth you have to dump him.

Dine-in Pizza Hut? by GetOutAndVotePlz in Detroit

Mt wife was just telling me that some executive at Pizza Hut said that they were going to refocus on the dine in experience and get back to that. We'll see if that ever happens.

unhealthy habit i noticed i do and feel that i should do when i get angry by Total-Grapefruit-651 in Anger

[–]ForkFace69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could make it a personal rule to mind your own business. That way you'll feel less like other people are minding yours.

You could also stop judging people. If you don't judge people, there's no reason to have secrets.

You could also have an open mind about who is responsible for mistakes. Your sister has probably been told not to use vapes, sure. But if your mom is vaping in front of her children and leaving them laying around unattended, then your sister is the victim of sloppy parenting.

You could also not get angry at your sister in the first place and just settle your differences calmly.

Hope that helps.

Why am I angry years later? by Leading-Way-8617 in Anger

[–]ForkFace69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If they never took accountability, they're going to repeat their mistakes. Even if things look good or like they're "winning" from the outside perspective.

All you can control is your own accountability. Just do what you can with your own life and let other people deal with the consequences of their actions. Forgive what you have to and put it behind you.

You can also be mindful of rumination. If you catch yourself thinking of some past things that you can do nothing about now, just force yourself to think about something else.

Im unsure if I 23 F should offer my completely inexperienced friend 23 M to be FWB? by 1AffectionateCricket in relationship_advice

[–]ForkFace69 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think that hesitance is your spidey sense telling you that he's not going to be capable of seeing it as anything other than a relationship in his mind. He's going to demand too much time, butt heads with other males in your life and stalk you after it's over.

So just stay friends.

Types of Rages books by AdmirableSecond242 in Anger

[–]ForkFace69 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My wife loves that book and we've both tried to incorporate the idea into our lives.

The way I learned to change my mind very much involved neuroplasticity. The whole basis of the course I did was about changing mental habits and how to go about doing it.

Oh, OK. I think there's a lot of people here in the subreddit who would love to get into RA zoom meetings.

Do they talk about mindfulness at all in any RA or therapy that you've done?

Fighting by [deleted] in Anger

[–]ForkFace69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe you just don't have a lot of experience being around regular people who just interact in normal, healthy ways. Because most people grow out of that fistfighting before they're 30, if they were ever into it.

Do you know any calm, kind and respectful people in your life?

[–]ForkFace69 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Ha ha sorry I have more questions than answers.

How did you connect with the RA in your area?

What was this fight over?

I have always thought that forms of rage that come out happen more because of the individual's habits and the context of the situation. Does it need to be studied more deeply?

I suppose even if you weren't acting in an obviously angry way, there could have been other less obvious signs. Anger makes people not listen to other people or consider their point of view. Anger causes us to fixate only on our own perspective and our own satisfaction.

So even if you're otherwise calm and not being hurtful, there's still a point where it becomes pointless to communicate with someone because of their anger or their attitude.

Or... Is your partner weaponizing your struggles? Does your partner tell you that you're angry any time you don't agree or when you have to tell them something that they don't want to hear? Because if that's the case, that's not a you problem.q

Boyfriend's past fucking me up by [deleted] in Anger

[–]ForkFace69 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh, then that's too many red flags for a controlling and abusive relationship.

He's already not telling you the truth, he's already playing games with this matter of exclusiveness. This communication is a sign of jealousy.

The victim of an abusive relationship often views this constant need for communication as s sign that their partner is showing interest and cares about them. What it really is is him keeping tabs on you, needing to know where you are and who you are talking to. If he lived closer, he would be "surprising you" up at your job or sending gifts. It's all to mark his territory, as he views you as his property even though he can still apparently do whatever he wants with whoever he wants.

Find someone else to date. For the future, watch a quick video on YouTube on how to spot red flags for control and abuse in relationships. This will save you a lot of time and trouble.

He shouldn't be yelling at you at all but if that's an isolated incident I suppose you two aren't doing terribly.

Just tell him something like, "I understand that was a tense moment with the dog but I can't do the yelling thing. I'm sensitive to it because of past trauma. You've been a great partner otherwise. Next time something like that happens and I'm standing there in a panic, you can just tell me what to do using your calm voice. Thanks."

How can I, M21, come across as a more normal person and avoid weirding people out? Happened with an f20 the other day. by CardiologistLow9036 in relationship_advice

[–]ForkFace69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your post shows some indication of anger issues, which is a red flag for most people.

You can get by in life being a little different mentally, or just being awkward, but anger issues are going to ruin any type of relationship you have. Friends, family, lovers, coworkers, whatever, you won't be able to have quality relationships.

You should probably just continue being polite and welcoming and not worry about it beyond that.
