ANGER

There are many people in this world who get angry very easily. Sometimes I am one of those people. I do not get angry to often but sometimes certain things just set me off. The number one thing that makes me angry is other people’s stupidity or ignorance. For example if I were to say to someone “do not jump in the pool,” and they do it anyway I will get very angry and most likely tell them to get the hell out of my backyard and go home. Another thing that sets me off is when people annoy. I can only take so much joking and playing around after awhile I get annoyed. I get annoyed the easiest when I am doing something important and someone keeps bothering me. An example of this would be the other day when I was at the gym. I am lifting and my friend continuously interrupts me and is making joke. I become very angry and tell him to get serious and stop messing around or just leave now and get your own ride home. Lifting and homework are the most frequent moments when I get mad at others because I do not want to be touched or messed with.

My control over my anger is fairly good. I can control my anger most of the time when I am in a public place I do not want to make a scene in front of other people. I say most of the time because sometimes I can no longer hold the anger in and just let loose. An example would be when I was at a concert this past summer. I was watching the band on stage and this one person insisted on continuously bumping into me. This wasn’t an accident because he was trying to start a “Mosh pit”. I could tell everyone around me was getting angry as well so I turned around. When I turned around I punched the kid right in the jaw sending him to the ground. After that the kid left and did not bother me or anyone else anymore. Sometimes I cannot control my anger and the best thing to do is to let them out. Sometimes it solves the thing that is making you angry.

Everyone has there own ways of controlling there anger my advice to someone is to find that certain way to control it. My way of controlling my anger is by thinking in the back of my head, “Is it really worth it to freak out right now? Do I really want to cause a scene? What will it solve if I get angry?” I ask myself questions in the back of my head that calm me down and make me realize that it is not really worth. This method may also work for others. If this does not work there are various other methods like counting until you calm down or focusing on a particular area or object causing you to forget why you were angry.

friends, in number

The number of friends and the quality of friends are both very different. You can have hundreds of friends but if you ever got into any trouble none of them would be there to back you up. The number of friends someone has means nothing. It is better to have a few close friends then to have a lot of friends. Personally I have many friends but among those friends I have the few that I am close to. Those few are my true friends and the others are just people I am friendly with and hang around often.

If someone has ten friends they are always around there is a good chance that most of them aren’t close friends with them. If someone else has one really close friend then they know who their true friend is. Others view this situation differently but having one close friend is better then having ten friends. A close friend is different then just a friend. A close friend is someone who you can tell anything to and trust. They will always have your back and be by your side. Your regular friends are not the same. Your regular friends are just people you enjoy hanging out with and being around not someone you can always depend on.

I know certain people who have hundreds of friends and then other who just have a few. Personally I don’t think the person with a few friends is going to be happier then the person with a hundred and vise versa. If the person with a hundred friends has a few close friends within those friends then I think the person with a hundred friends and few close friends is happier than the person with just a few close friends. If the person with a hundred friends has those friends just for attention and has no really close friends then in the end the person with a few friends will be much happier.

Some people have so many friends because they like the attention. They always like to be surrounded by many people who adore them. They want to feel important so they constantly have people around them. I feel this is false. Although they feel important and love the attention deep down they feel something is missing. That something is someone they can turn to when needed.

Even though some people have hundreds of friends some people focus on a few close friends. These people are happy because they have that person to lean on. Although they have a great friend they fell as if they should have more. They want to be like the individual who has hundreds of friends. The best thing to do is to have a balance of both. Someone should be very friendly and have hundreds of friends but also have those few close ones.
