How To Stop Being Angry At Someone Who Hurt You

[@marywolfe7293]

my anger comes from hurt and the feeling of being disrespected, especially when I know that I am bring treated differently than other people. In other words, it's selective for some people to pick the people they want to take their stuff out on.

[@LiveOnPurposeTV]

Mary - that's a common source. I wish I could wave some magic wand that would have people treating everyone with respect, but since I have no such wand I'm putting my focus on helping people with their choice to respond in a productive way regardless of how people treat us. Wishing you the best! DrPaul

[@ahmedsa2330]

Mary when people disrespect you you juste have to wait for the perfect moment and disrespect them back without angre and they will leave you alone

[@jesserichardson5880]

I feel the same way Mary. Unfortunately there are people out there always looking for someone they can take advantage of. It’s happened to me and it’s very difficult for me not to be mad about it. They’re not always easy to spot but when you’re able to spot them just stay away from them. Nothing good comes from being around people like that.

[@jelw3197]

mary wolfe thats racism

[@earthtoalice]

I feel you Mary. It is such a yucky horrible feeling, and one that I have been struggling with for quite some time. I struggle to know where to go with all of this rage that has built up in me for years, and I end up getting very depressed. I get so angry at the feeling of unfairness and injustice. I am seeking out as much help and guidance as I can get, because I think there are still vital parts of me that still do not understand how to best manage this in real practical ways and move forwards, and pieces of advice like 'let it go,' 'forgive' etc feel too abstract and I need more solid help with how to actually do those things. Imagine if we could figure it out - it would be Wonderful.

[@kattoledo1501]

[@Candy-mz5wo]

1- When you are angry activate frontal part of your brain and shut down fight fight part 2- breathe nice and slow. It helps you to reverse anger effect. 3- take it less personal. other people experience same type of hurt. It is not personal. Your not special. Get over yourself it’s not about you. 4- it is about poor desicions of person who hurt you 5- take FULL responsibility of how you feel. when you see there is a choice it becomes a choice. 6 - create a hero story. Don’t be victim become a hero

I read somewhere that anger basically exists for defending your boundaries,so don't feel guilty about it "Anger sets your boundaries by walking the perimeter of your psyche and keeping an eye on you, the people around you, and your environment. If your boundaries are broken (through the insensitivity of others, or in any other way), anger comes forward to restore your sense of strength and separateness"

[@SkaterBlades]

I was betrayed by a group of "friends" when i was dealing with depression. I was suicidal and they cast me out of the group after which i attempted suicide. I've been in lockdown for about 4 months now and that sadness has turned to rage and has been festering for months EDIT: For the record it was an LGBT group and i was so pissed at them i was at a point where i was trying to find conversion therapy to become as distant from them as possible. Now I'm reaching a point where i don't feel anything for anyone. No empathy, no joy seeing or talking to others, no sadness, no anger. I'm becoming numb to other people

[@LiveOnPurposeTV]

SkaterBlades, it sounds as though you have been dealing with a lot. Not everyone is like the group you were in, there are kind people everywhere. I hope you are getting help to deal with the depression and sadness you are feeling. Reach out to others in different ways. Get in an online group or try to help others.

I went from trauma to fear to confusion to resentment and to anger sometimes in no particular order.. My ex husband and parents got together and ruined my reputation and sadly want me destroyed. My ex has control issues and manipulates people easily, my parents live in total denial of anything that doesn’t suit them and being called out threatens them. I have been the scapegoat and black sheep all because I seek the truth. I have been treated worse than a murderer however I am free to find my own tribe and rewrite my story. I thank god for people like you and many others that have helped keep the light on in what was a dark place 🙏

Grace Kelly, you are very welcome, thanks for being a part of our positive community.

[@loveandllife]

Anger is a natural response when we perceive that our boundaries have been violated if you meet someone stronger, also it is a response when you try to control someone weaker that’s why we see so many angry parents at their kids or angry husbands at their wives. Instead of analysing your feelings get yourself in a stronger position and make the other people choose how they feel. I stopped being polite and nice to bullies, I challenge them and if they get angry they can practice what dr Positive tells them.

[@LiveOnPurposeTV]

Love and Light, I hear what you are saying, but I think anger is a secondary emotion and there is a primary emotion that is not being dealt with that triggers the anger. Thank you for your thoughtful comment.

[@vasco1983]

I'm blinded by anger toward someone. I fell for the lies of a woman that told me she was being abused by her husband so I took her to live with me. She would tell me things about him that were horrid, she had a lot of issues mentally and emotionally, but back then I couldn't see it was an act so that she could manipulate me by playing victim. I broke up with her because she drove me crazy many times with nonsense arguments. We share the same workplace so it's hard for me to avoid her, and to make matters worse she's back with her husband, and apparently being way happier than ever, as if I was the instrument to fix their relationship. I spent money on lawyers when I was trying to help her, all money from hard earned savings, spent money to find her an apartment when we broke up... I don't mind her being with someone, finding a partner, but GOING BACK WITH HIM??? It makes me feel like the stupidest human being on the earth. And I feel like she's mocking me now because that guy goes to my workplace to check her. I want the worst for them, I can't help it. I swear I pray God for them to be so happy that they might decide to move somewhere else, but I'm lying to myself... It's driving me crazy... Can't help it, I want retribution. How can I feel pity for them when I see her rubbing in my face that she's happy with that bastard?? Again, I don't mind her being with someone, I'm convinced of my decision of breaking up with her, but her being back with him is the biggest offense life could give me after all the sacrifice I did.

Love this! After leaving my abusive ex of five years (me and my daughter were assessed as high risk by our local domestic abuse service), nearly 5 years after leaving him and 1 year after moving out of the same area as him, I’m no longer in the level of survival mode I was in a year ago and before. I can finally look at my feelings without a sense of imminent danger around me. I was good at looking at my feelings and choosing how to feel, but that was still alongside living 500 metres away from my ex on a restraining order so it was harder. I can do it fully now without looking over my shoulder. This is a really good video. And now I’m volunteering in domestic abuse. I started creating my hero story 4 years ago and it’s really paying off now! I love my story!!

My anger comes from over 35 years of abuse, mockery, being on the receiving end of rage from my sister. I feel disgusted calling her "my" sister. She is a horrible narcissist & psychopath. And hating her makes me physically ill. I have forgiven her 50000 times at least. I don't want to do it anymore. She is reckless and doesn't care about anybody's feelings. She mocks my 75 year old mother and winks at me as if it's a joke.

[@eponymoususer8923]

I think a lot of the anger at people who are trying to hurt you is that it’s not about you. It’s a problem that you’re not being considered important, you’re not respected in the situation, and that invisibility and invalidation creates the hurt that needs protection. That’s what the anger does. A person sees invisibility as a threat, and anger makes certain they’re seen.

[@LiveOnPurposeTV]

Yes, they want to lash out. Anger is secondary to the other need in their life.

[@eponymoususer8923]

Taking that into account, I think it’s less that they WANT to lash out, and more that it’s an instinct that’s just too much of a challenge for them to overcome. They lack the emotional development and resources to handle the situation with anything but the crudest of emotional tools.

Thanks for posting this video. I may need to watch it a few more times before it sinks in. I just started a new job (3 months in) and already I'm getting attitude even though I keep to myself, and treat others with kindness, work super hard and help out. I always start each day fresh and I'm really aware of my internal state. I also go to therapy but I feel like I'm just learning to deal with OTHER peoples' bad behavior. Even if I have a horrible day, I could never take it out on someone or treat them rudely. I think it's important to cultivate compassion. It boggles my mind that other people are so unaware of their internal state and can easily take it out on people or not listen to others. It just feels like I have to bear everyones' poor emotional regulation. I can be really nice (which honestly should just be the damn baseline standard but it isn't,) and I think people think they can take advantage of it even though I can set healthy boundaries and say "no." I literally do not get what is so hard about being nice to people!

Was it something from their past that happened to them?. Was the person taking things the wrong way, or has some issues themselves unresolved?. It's not always easy to forgive, but holding on to bad feelings, eats away at you long after it is gone, you remain hurt and held back from moving forward. In effect, the person maybe still hurting you, even when the incident is long gone. We have to let go sometime, or carry a stone around in our shoe. I have been deeply hurt ma y times in my life deeply, but I had to learn the hard way to forgive and forget, not easy I know. I try to see the Good in everyone. It's so easy to blame ourselves and wish we had reacted differently. What is done is done. There's too much hate and anger in the world, people are stressed, yes it's not nice to hurt someone. Revenge is not the answer, but understanding, we all make mistakes. This guy is so right, reframe a d try to put it behind you. Pray to God for help. Spread your love. Love each other.

Whoosh! This vid is recalled up on the playlist as the hurt of betrayal resurfaced. Didn't see the betrayal coming either! Love your passion Dr. Paul. Get a great kick out of your expressions while you talk. Awesome! If one thinks about it, the adversity and villans bring some of us to your video's where YOU get to shine as a HERO! AWESOME EH! 💯. 💚Positivity idea is that the betrayal has awakened me to notice that I need more work on being hurt, accepting it etc. Plus, I get to revisit your video's eh! 😉 Thank you Dr. Paul. Hope you had an OK day. 😀 🇨🇦

[@LiveOnPurposeTV]

Meg's Carpentry, I like how you are facing this latest betrayal and taking the positive steps to put it into perspective and move past to create something better.

"Anger is a choice, but it doesn't feel like a choice when you're in it.. not until you see it as a choice."..Well-said.

[@LiveOnPurposeTV]

Eun, yes, I do believe that.

[@ellenmary8075]

Wow its not rocket science, how do you know this stuff . Your talk is simply put, easy to understand and no BS. Thank you so much it really made me think

[@LiveOnPurposeTV]

You are very welcome, it it the result of over 30 years of education and experience. Glad we can connect.

[@FruityHachi]

for me, the primary emotion (in most situations when i'm angry) is frustration - frustration that i wasn't able to assert myself when someone hurt me, frustrated that i wasn't able to enforce my boundaries, frustrated that i wasn't able to come up with a response quickly but only after a few hours

[@LiveOnPurposeTV]

Dorn, I hear you, I hope the video helps.

[@mindfulnessasia1082]

One of the greatest emperors of this world once described the glories of forgiveness. If there were not persons in this world who exercised forgiveness, then chaos would soon prevail. If kings and other superiors give way to anger, then the distressed people would quickly meet with ruin. If inferiors do not tolerate their superiors’ admonishments, then sin will take root and destroy mankind. The wise consider him a man of character who restrains his wrath. The pious always praise such a man because they understand that the forgiving man is always victorious. One who represses his anger even when antagonized rejoices in the next world. For this it is said that a wise man, whether strong or weak and even if in difficulty, should always forgive his persecutor.

[@LiveOnPurposeTV]

Beautifully said. I hope others take the time to read and ponder.

My ex girlfriend hurt me pretty bad… She was very emotionally abusive for most of our relationship. She broke up with me on my birthday and then died in a car accident 2 weeks later. The night after I found out she was cheating on my for a year. I’m be been holding on to this deep hatred because I was never able to tell her how I really feel about her. And I never will be able to… I’m sick for feeling this way but it’s hard to let go because of how close we were. Thanks for the video, this was helpful on finding a different way of approaching how to get over this.

[@LiveOnPurposeTV]

Dominic Cocove, I wish you the best as you heal.

[@jenmascaro4014]

Damn! That was some tough love right there. Helpful though and I’ve needed it, for months. Thank you.

[@LiveOnPurposeTV]

Honored to be on your team.

[@excellentchoices]

Thank you Dr. Paul once again 👍👍 it’s so amazing how we always have choice and control.... May we all choose to take responsibility for our stuff and do our best to become hero’s 🙏 that’s my plan 👍👍

You are very welcome, Susan. Glad you are in our positive parenting community.

[@Designer_Dude]

Thank you.. I've been through the hurt, the blaming myself, and was just into the blaming them part... Was recently in a break-up where I didn't want to go anywhere but they wanted to leave.. It's been tough. I appreciate your help.

[@ljj2779]

The insight in this video was very needed. I’ve been dealing with anger and resentment for years and this video was very spot on.

[@LiveOnPurposeTV]

Ljj277, I hope you are getting to the point where you can remove the anger and resentment so you can feel peace.

"Give a man a fish and he eats for a day, teach a man to fish and he eats for a lifetime." Ive watched enough of your videos to know youd give a man a fish any day, but thank you for TEACHING!! Teaching happiness and joy. Couple this knowledge with the power of God and it is untouchable.

[@LiveOnPurposeTV]

sudhakaran kandaswamy, yes you are! Now you know you are capable of rising high and helping others. Thank you for watching.

[@dapdne4916]

Yep you're right. All you have to do is try to blame the circumstance and then try and alter it as best you can if need be. Think outside of the box. Others might not be able to handle a situation very well. I have experienced this. A little blame maybe but not necessarily.

[@LiveOnPurposeTV]

Thanks for your comment, Dap Dne. Glad you are here at the channel.

[@tatianaferraz3496]

Wonderful lecture! If I may, I'll humbly suggest a future video. Perhaps an actual case, (or a hypothetical one), to illustrate better the steps, showing how to (errounosly) proceed if one chooses the mysery side, and on the flipside, how to correctly react following the "virtuous" steps. Thank you sir for your contributions.

CM Ralph, I am sorry.

[@dalmagrosz9734]

I hate myself when I’m angry. I do not look inside my own heart and mind. I always start pointing fingers instead understanding them. Specially my loved ones.

[@LiveOnPurposeTV]

Dalma Grosz, it takes a big person to see their faults and put them out there. You are on the road to working on something that will make a huge difference in your life.

[@christinagreaves7932]

[@LiveOnPurposeTV]

Christina Greaves, that is why I started KZbin, to connect to people who I would never meet. Awesome platform.

[@anthonymorales842]

I don't like being angry it's a like veil, cloak a filter where everything I see is colored by the anger. It did help and hurt a great deal that the person that was hurting me is no longer in my life. Hurt people hurt people now that I know this I have great compassion for this person.

[@LiveOnPurposeTV]

anthony morales, I am glad you can see how the other person could be dealing with their own hurt. Thank you for commenting.

[@vjcarter4657]

LOL. Love it. That’s EXACTLY what we do! And what I am currently doing!

The full responsibility for how you feel, I do this and it really turns the tables in your brain because you lose the victim mentality. It’s another hurt emotion that leaves your brain xxx

[@LiveOnPurposeTV]

Be an agent. Things always go better that way.

[@MegsCarpentry-lovedogs]

D A N G! This presentation and message and perspective is comforting to the soul. Another listen to it in the morning routine of practicing positivity. 👍It takes work! Let's not be delusional about the work part. Result: aim for that hero story, feel better. After all, isn't this the way things roll as being a citizen on this planet earth🤔. Keep up your relevant helpful work Dr. Paul. Have a really good day Doc! ☀️ 🇨🇦

[@LiveOnPurposeTV]

Glad you enjoyed it! Every bit of effort is worth it in the end.
