My anger often has little to do with the people or things in front of me. It rises from my own helplessness. When I don’t have the tools, clarity, or capacity to shift a situation, the built-up energy looks for an exit—and anger becomes the easiest channel.
From a distance, it feels like others are the trigger. Looking closely, I see that the real frustration is with my own limitations. Aggression follows the same pattern. I lose my calm not because others are too much, but because I am not anchored enough in that moment.
Strong emotions reveal the cracks inside. They expose where I am unprepared, unskilled, or unwilling to face myself.
The antidote is not blame, justification, or victimhood.
The antidote is ownership. When I turn inward, recognise my contribution, and strengthen myself, I reclaim power.
The other hands my power to the world.
