How do you forgive someone who has anger issues?
Think about the incident that angered you. Accept that it happened. Accept how you felt about it and how it made you react. In order to forgive, you need to acknowledge the reality of what occurred and how you were affected. Acknowledge the growth you experienced as a result of what happened.
How do you express forgiveness to someone you hurt?
If you decide not to express forgiveness directly, then do it on your own. Say the words, “I forgive you,” aloud and then add as much explanation as you feel is merited. Forgiveness puts the final seal on what happened that hurt you. You will still remember what happened, but you will no longer be bound by it.
Why do people interpret things differently when you get angry?
People can interpret situations differently, so a situation that makes you feel very angry may not make someone else feel angry at all (for example, other reactions could include annoyance, hurt or amusement). But just because we can interpret things differently, it doesn’t mean that you’re interpreting things ‘wrong’ if you get angry.
What are some things you don’t trust about forgiveness?
8) You don’t trust that if you forgive someone they will forgive you back. Forgiveness is not a guaranteed two-way street. Often, by letting go of something, we do naturally affect others around us, but sometimes it doesn’t work that way.
