friendly reminder that in psychology school people are taught that anger is a secondary emotion, so next time you make someone mad, remember that it’s because they were originally hurt or upset
This makes a lot of sense.
Seriously. Never forget.
they teach this in wilderness. my group (men aged eighteen to twenty five) was full of dudes with anger problems and every single one was simply unwilling to acknowledge feeling hurt, scared, or sad. this post is hella true.
Fact they teach you this is group therapy too.
