</span> steady, zap: i struggle with anger towards people who've betrayed me<br>
(etc.) - so i'm not the person to say "don't do that"... even though i<br>
know it's doing *me* harm to be so angry i can't even sleep at night,<br>
sometimes. what i would like to say is: f you manage to get your<br>
anger under control, do tell me how you managed it, ok? :)<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>If the effect is not immediate we have the tendency to ignore.

But in fact 70-90% time they are just doing what suits them. Not on purpose to you and blissfully unaware of the effects it has on you. You vent you anger and hurt them back. Only to be repaid with more hurting and anger. So anger might not be your best response. It is however a natural one. Just like tensing on impact while release might be a better one.</div><div><br></div><div>But beware of the trap that you disallow yourself to feel hurt because they didn't do it on purpose.
