Anger can be demonised and seen as a sign of toxicity. If anger is not tempered, then it can lead to negative perspectives and behaviours. What we forget is that anger is a part of being human. it's an emotional response that signals that something is not right. Anger and frustration are not signs of a toxic person. It is a sign that something it wrong.

This means we need to reflect on our anger and reframe our own response to determine where the anger is stemming from. We need to be able to understand the inner dialogue that happens when our anger is being created or escalated. Once you understand where the anger comes from, immediately validate it. Validate it because it is important to value your emotions and the reasons why you feel them. This will help you to understand how it can be rectified.

The deeper understanding you have of its origins, the more you begin to understand where to look. This means the investigation can begin. We are constantly investigating ourselves and learning how we function emotionally and what can reduce undesired feelings but also maintain the positive ones.

Do not contridict your feelings, allow them to be accepted. You need to make it a safe space to explore what you are feeling without condemning and demonising yourself for being a human being with feelings. We need to develop a positive relationship with ourselves, and this begins with validating our emotions to seek closure that can allow for further reflection and emotional relief.

When you have been mistreated, undervalued, underestimated, and disrespected, it is a reasonable response to feel angry and frustrated. Moreover, when a situation is unfair and unequitable, while also demonstrating a disregard for equality and avoiding accountability, the anger is reasonable.

As i have mentioned, create a safe space to feel angry and explore why it is present. Then, ask yourself when I step outside of this situation and see it from an outsider's perspective would I do. How would i help to reduce the anger and frustration. While also validating that it is fine to be human and that their emotions are reasonable.

Anger and frustration are actually signs of emotional distress. However, it can look very aggressive and uncontrollable. This blinds us to the truth of the matter, and the truth is that it is a sign of emotional distress.

The fact is when someone is angry, their reasons are legitimate, and as human beings, we should be able to recognise that every person is angered and frustrated by different factors. While some of those factors may be understandable, some may not be. Nevertheless, we validate, we support, we listen, we suggest, and we make them feel safe to express themselves. We should do this for ourselves, not just for other people.

Anger should never be demonised. Anger should be seen as normal and sometimes necessary. However, there should be boundaries, strategies, and resources accessible to reduce and mitigate feelings of anger.
