Night
Dante's Inferno
A time when I was really frustrated with someone was when they insulted one of my friends and knew I was listening. This got me angry because people love to start trouble sometimes and thats just what this person was looking for. I did not say anything because I did not want drama or trouble so I just ignored what they said and that was that. I could have stuck up for my friend and said something to the person but sometimes in particular situations it is better to keep to yourself.
ReplyDeleteA time when I felt really annoyed was during many of my classes Freshman year. During my freshman year, I was constantly teased and bothered for all of my classes. My teachers did not do much to stop it, and so it got worse. I tried to ignore the teasing and throwing of objects so they would stop, but it became nearly impossible. I would go for a time without an outburst, but whenever it got better I would loose my temper and yell at them. I could've dealt with it better by getting out of the situation more before I lost my temper, and that would have made the year a whole lot better.
ReplyDeleteThe last time I felt angry and frustrated at someone was when my friend almost crashed my car. I yelled at her and told her to get out of my car. I handled my feelings in a bad way by kicking her out of my car. I could have handled the situation calmly instead of overreacting and yelling.
ReplyDeleteA time in which I felt frustrated was when i went home one day and my bedroom was a mess from my younger sister going in there with my cousins. They had paint on my floor and some on my bed sheets. I constantly remind my sister not to go into my bedroom when I am not home. So therefor this time when this happend i made it crystal clear to her not to go in my room ever again. I yelled at her until she cried. Maybe i shouldn't have yelled at her until she cried but, I was so angered that I did not care.
ReplyDeleteA time when i got very angry was when my brother came home, and realized that his car had no gas, so he took mine instead. I needed to use my car to get tot work that day, and apparently he did not care. So, I called him and told him to come home with my car and he said no, and just hung up on me. After he did this, I got extremely angry and waited until he got home and got in a huge fight with him over this. At the moment I let my emotions get the best of me, instead of fully evaluating the situation. Looking back on it, I should have calmed down and just let it slide, instead of get angry like I did.
ReplyDeleteThe most recent time that i was annoyed, angry and frustrated was last night. Now coincidentally i experienced all three at once. What brought me these feelings was not so much a person but the patriots game. They have yet to win an away game in the united states all season. They played the saints, the best team in the NFL currently and a win would have sent a strong messege to the rest of the league. Not only did the pats lose, they were embarrased and could not seem to remember how to play football. During the game i was very angry and wanted to almost go out on th field and win the game myself. I was very stressed and felt anxious because of the game. Thinking back i should have just taken a second to chill out and remember that it was only a game and that there will be others. I feel i may have possibly overreacted
ReplyDeleteA time that I was really frustrated by someone was at work the other day. I was supposed to leave at nine o' clock but all the people that were scheduled until ten o' clock to close, made up excuses on why they had to leave. So the manager asked me to stay and help close and I ended up closing and staying there until 10:30. I feel I handled the situation fine because I did not say anything to anyone and I played it off like I did not mind. But I was actually really angry, at the manager and all of the people that made up stupid excuses, and I really wanted to go home. So maybe a better solution would to have been to stick up for myself and say I wanted to go home because this has happened multiple times before.
ReplyDeleteTonight my mother and I got in a huge fight about my going to a concert Thursday night. Fighting with my mom makes me both annoyed and angry. Whenever I fight with my mom I have a tendency to interrupt her midsentence to tell her how I feel about what she just said rather than let her finish her sentence. Clearly this is a bad habit that needs to be fixed. I should have given her a chance to say something rather than yell over her. I definitley should have apporached the situation differently. Rather than tell her that I was going to the concert I should have asked her if I could go. I believe that if I had done this the whole situation would have played out differently. In fact most of the time taking the time to actually think about what your saying before you say it is the best thing to do.
ReplyDeleteI am the oldest of 3 kids, but my siblings are A LOT younger than me. My sister is 10 and my brother is 6. Often I have to babysit them, and in the past, my 10 year old sister has gotten on my last nerve. I'm never certain why, but it's always her that I lash out on. It could be over any little thing too. I've never handled my feelings well. I always over reacted and yelled and threatened different privelages, even though that wasn't my place, that was my mother's place. I was just never nice to her. Through several years of being yelled at or punished for that, I've learned to control my feelings. Now if either of my siblings frustrate me, I will walk away for a minute come back and deal with it with a more calm perspective on it.
ReplyDeleteThe last time I was really frustrated with someone was last week. My mom kept on telling me to do something but I was really busy and didn't have enough time to do what she asked of. My mom knew that I couldn't do what I was asked of, but she kept on asking. I got really annoyed and frustrated. I started to yell at her and we got into a big fight. I could have handled the situation differently. I should have just done what she asked me to. I also should not have started a fight because it made her very upset.
ReplyDeleteAbout two months ago I remember getting extremely fustrated, annoyed, and angry at my mom and dad. I asked my parents if I could sleep at my friends house with a bunch of people and they said no. I did not understand what the issue was so I reacted out in anger. I ended up throwing a shoe at my door and I created a hole in the door; my parents still do not know about that. I should have not let my anger get the best of me. Also, I should have calmly talked to my parents about the situation and get a better understanding of why they would not let me go to the sleepover.
ReplyDeleteThe last time I felt really angry and frustrated with someone was a couple of weeks ago. I was angry at my sister for accusing me of something that I hadn't done. She kept going on about the issue and blaming me even though I honestly hadn't done it. In response to this, I took the water bottle that I had been drinking and threw it at her. Water splashed all over her and got her new outfit that she planned on wearing out that night completely soaked. This was the type of action that I picture doing but would never dream of actually doing it. In this case, it actually happened. Even though I did found it somewhat hilarious in the moment, I knew that this was a terrible way to handle my feelings. I could have handled this situation differently by simply telling my sister that I was being truthful and just walking away, because since I knew that I was telling the truth, I shouldn't have cared that my sister didn't believe me. I should have let it go rather than putting my self in a much more complicated situation!
ReplyDeleteLast time I felt upset and or angry was about three weeks ago. My friend and I got into a huge arguement over some moeney problems. We got to a point in the argument that we almost were about to fight. But after checking and calling some people who werer involved in our situation we found out that we actually didnt ower each other money. we said our apologies and made plans to go wqith a couple of guys to go to the movies.
ReplyDeleteAnnoyed is a feeling I have probably around fifty percent of the time in school and eighty percent of my time at home (comes from living with two sibling and being the middle child). Quite simply I have learned to live with it so much that being annoyed barley bothers me at all. Most of the time when I am frusterated is with myself. I have long been my own harshest critic. I cannot stand doing worse than i expect and when i do I get frusterated with myself. These times I need to take the time to calm down and just do nothing at all for a while. I very seldom get truly angry with anyone or anything. When I do I quickly try to take myself out of that situation because I know that things will only get worse from there. This is the best way I have found of dealing with anger because if I stay I usually just end up even angrier and that just is not good.
ReplyDeleteLast night I had an arguement with my dad, he asked me to do something for him and I completely forgot about it. Then when he asked me if I had finished it, I had no idea what he was talking about. He got mad at me because it was an important thing he needed to have finished. I felt really bad but instead of apologizing I got defensive anf yelled back at him. I should have apologized and done it for him when he asked the second time.
ReplyDeleteIt was this one time, the person with who I was talking to had a habit of letting things that annoyed her about me just get bottled up inside. Finally one day when I tried to speak kindly to her about the issues and resolve them, for a better situation for both of us she choose instead to simply get angry and go off on a rant belittling me throughout. Instead of getting angry or lashing back with a sharp remark I simply let it go and tried to embrace and understand her anger more. To maybe take a different approach to the situation I could have tried to continue trying to get through to her more and work out the issues then and there to some extent.

I felt extremly angry and frustrated with one of my co-workers. They created a lie that one of my good friends at work and i were taunting them and messing up her work. I did not let her know how angry I was or walk around like I was annoyed because i knew not to because thats what she wanted. Instead my friend and i found proof disproving everything she said. In the end she got written up for defamating our character. To be honest i wish i did not even get her written up, becuase if she felt so angry about something that she needed to try and attack me obviously she is angry and sad about something and i feel bad for her.
