"No" "Then maybe your expectations are too high?" permalink fedilink source hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] spooky2092@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 1 year ago (1 child) Was that supposed to be 'did not meet your expectations', or was your therapist on something that day? Cuz I have no idea how not being mad at expectations being met means they're too high. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] BallShapedMan@lemmy.world 1 point 1 year ago I had anger issues and was mad all the time at the dumbest things. The problem was my expectations were unrealistic. By changing my expectations I've solved almost all of my anger issues. A simple example is teenagers are going to break rules. By not expecting them to be perfect I don't get angry. That doesn't mean the behavior is acceptable and will go unaddressed. Just expect they'll break the rules and be ready for it when they do is all. permalink fedilink source parent
