Ten Things That Anger People Most

A person's mood determines what will anger them and to what extent that anger will go. It's just human nature. By that, anything can raise our blood pressure or makes us temporarily insane? I have a love-hate relationship with everyone, especially when driving. Sound familiar? I go insane having to wait at signal lights when there's no traffic🚗. Most people probably don't go around looking for a button they can push to anger you accept for maybe the teeny minded racist among us. Although there are people who will look for ways to get one-up on you for the fun of it. But, that can actually be healthy competition among friends. Friends do that all the time for the fun of it.

Generally, friends won't push your buttons other than to get a rise out of you. But siblings will. Sometimes just because they know where those buttons are. At least until they grow up anyway. Parents sometimes push their child's buttons just for the fun of it, although they shouldn't. Because it's bullying. But some parents will push your buttons if they feel as though they've run out of ways to motivate you. People know instinctively what's right and what's wrong. Some will try and deny it if you listen to them. And most will try to blame something or someone else for their mistakes if possible, that too is human nature. Some will even blame you for their bad treatment of you. It's like they've judged you and sentenced  you. It's wrong, but people do it. Unless you're holding a gun to someone's head you can't make them do anything. We have to take responsibility for our own actions, wrongdoings, and mistakes so we keep moving in the right direction.  

We have choices and free will and it's easy to abuse them. We make mistakes, yes but free will can become self-abuse. Even when you live by a higher standard of living you're still going to make mistakes. If you've learned some rules that work for you, make them personal rules that you don't break. That's what I do anyway.

People will intentionally try and rattle you on the down-low, and of course, you mustn't let them rattle you. People fall into the hater's category quite easily these days. Venting on others is popular among homo sapiens. Venting to others is much more effective. Haters and trouble makers are immature individuals, aren't they? They are little mini-minded terrorists ignorant of the rule that what goes around comes back around. Haters are very unhappy people and they want you to be unhappy too. This behavior by the way; is the reason they are locked in a perpetual cycle of unhappiness. So, here again, what goes around, does come back around.

Anger will wreck you
So what is my point?

It's to get you to think about yourself as a person and how you live. And, if applicable to you, to get you to check yourself before you wreck yourself. Because anger, even in it's simplest form is destructive to us mentally and internally. The world's not going to change unless you change it. We live in tall grass, and there are snakes in the grass. That's just the simple truth. These snakes will do the unthinkable to cause you pain and suffering and yes that is a truth about homo sapien. But sometimes we do the unthinkable to ourselves. What is the unthinkable? The unthinkable is getting mad. When you let anger drive you, your thoughts and your emotions become unstable. We become possessed and begin to give up our power.

Here are a few irritable things that can open the door to anger:
  1. Being accused of something you didn't do.
  2. Working hard to achieve a goal and learn you're being under minded. 
  3. Being ignored by someone you care about because they've been brainwashed against you by someone else. 
  4. Driving in traffic when you're up against a deadline. (a primal animal panic instinct)
  5. When there is a double standard; one for you and one for someone being given more than you. 
  6. When someone snatches your blanket off of you to wake you up🩲! This can be the start of a pretty bad day.  
  7. When your WiFi stops working or slows way down as you're working with a deadline
  8. Being betrayed by a friend. Your mate cheats on you. 
  9. Someone does to you what you did to them. 
  10. Finding out you're being used.   

So what does this list tell you? Does it tell you that humiliation is generally what pushes a person's buttons? But it's not only people that cause humiliation. An event can occur that will humiliate you, like tripping and falling. Do you get mad about that? Depends on your mood, right?  
Protect your joy-reject anger

What's your takeaway from this blog post, your "people truth? I'd like it to be that anger is a weakness, your Achilles heel. The "I submit button". Your tap out! But, hey I'm just discussing what angers people most. Devious people will use what angers people most against you. "So stay cool, if you can be strong then be strong. Because getting even is more fun".  I made that up, lol. Because not being effected, not trying to get even is very effective🎈 Sometimes anger comes over us no matter how good we are at staying cool. Remember I told you we're not perfect. But people who have a habit of getting angry are suffering from something. If you look close, they're suffering from a disorder and we all have it. So just ignore it. Get good at cooling yourself off quickly if you're the type that angers. Some homo sapiens don't have the anger gene. I wish I was like them. What if someone deliberately kills your dog? Could you stay cool as you work through it?

Even if you're a champion at keeping your cool, I think that would set you off.  My point is there are times when anger is justified. But like everything, there is a solution. And that is: Get hold of yourself as quickly as possible. That's how you overcome an attack on your integrity and come out victorious. 

So again, people will push your buttons just because they can and some will do it because they are wicked. And some of them will succeed at pissing you off, but don't let it take hold. Come to grips with your anger and relinquish it immediately. Anger doesn't do you any good. It's a tempting adrenaline release, but for all the wrong reasons. Anger does little good in 99.9% of the matters you find yourself angry about. It's better to keep your cool, wait for the opportunity and diplomatically bring your aggressor face to face with their own behavior. They hate that. And, it works every time. Name ten things that anger you most and post them in the comments🎈  It will vent them!
