What makes you Angry about the behavior of people? 

So What makes you Angry about the behavior of people? And do you react if you see something happening that you feel is wrong?

I don’t think anger is the right word to describe this (at least for me). I think frustrated is the more appropriate word. I guess you can call me mild-mannered because I experience more frustration over anger.

What frustrates me about people is that everyone has biases. There’s no such thing as an “unbias” opinion because we are all human beings and we all have emotions and life experiences that helps us draw opiniated conclusions and sometimes, assumptions. What frustrates me the most about this is that some people will draw conclusions and assumptions when he or she hadn’t had the experience.

I just spent the entire weekend watching movies, TV shows, and YouTube because it’s over 100-degrees outside and at around 10% humidity, when I step outside, I would immediately feel like I’m sucked dry from the inside out. So I was stuck indoors. Anyway, after watching all these shows, I’ve concluded that there would be no plot, no movie, no show if the characters just took a moment to calm down and heard each other out.

This frustrated me but at the same time, I was sucked in by the excitement, that if the character had just heard the other side of the story instead of reacting and forming assumptions and opinions at first instinct, there would had been less catastrophe and conflict. Then again, there wouldn’t be a story to tell.

The unfortunate thing is, I live with someone who constantly does this. My mom likes to form opinions and assumptions without first assess the situation. She is also a reactor. The way she reacts to the little things, you might as well thought if the house caught on fire or something big was happening. The other day, she reacted over a drop of water on the kitchen counter. “You must wipe every drop of water, ” she shouted at me.

I was washing dishes, so there bound to be a drop or two of water surrounding the area where I put the dishes. So no, I’m not a reactor. I am the type of person that will look at a complex situation, take a deep breath, and analyze it until I figure it out. Perhaps, my frustration has to do with being the polar opposite with the person I’m living with?
