Anger is one of those emotions we
all experience, though the triggers differ from person to person. For me, I
usually try to stay calm and composed, but there are a few situations that
instantly stir up my temper.
The first one is turning up late
to a scheduled meeting—whether it is personal or professional. Time, to me, is
a form of respect. When I plan and arrive on time, I expect the same courtesy
in return. A delay without reason often feels as though the other person
doesn’t value my time or effort, and that really frustrates me.
Another thing that bothers me
deeply is when someone makes a mistake but refuses to accept it. We are all
human; mistakes happen. But what matters is the willingness to own up to them.
Denial or shifting blame not only makes the situation worse but also erodes
trust. I find myself angrier at the refusal to take responsibility than at the
mistake itself.
And finally, I cannot stand it
when people lie while pretending to be truthful or fail to stand by their words.
Honesty and integrity are values I hold close, so when someone pretends, twists
the truth, or breaks their word, it feels like betrayal. Such behavior leaves a
lasting mark, and it is hard for me to overlook.
In a way, these triggers all
circle back to one central theme: respect—for time, for truth, and for
responsibility. When these are compromised, anger is a natural response. But
reflecting on them also reminds me that while I cannot control others’
behavior, I can always choose how I respond and how long I hold on to that
anger.
