Managing Anger
Many people believe that in a conflictual situation, they can control others by resorting to excessive anger, and that this is a permanent solution to the conflict. This may apply in the short term if the other person becomes fearful, as with a child, and caves in to your demands, but it is generally not true in the long term.
Sooner or later, the person being controlled will resist in one way or another, which will negatively impact the relationship between you and the other person. Tip to Reduce Anger: A better way to interact with others is to strive to achieve control with the other person rather than control over the other person.
It means building an equal relationship so that the two of you can work together as a team, rather than one person having power over the other, including undue influence or control.
