Nothing important is happening

If someone in real life makes fun of me or insult me or scream disrespectfully on me I experience irritation in my body and I experience an urge to react negatively towards these insults . Yes I can and I do understand that that’s not what I should do but it’s not completely under my control. That’s my experience.

Yes, you experience the urge. The urge comes from you. Say you got angry because I insulted you just now, but I had the wrong person - I meant to call the person behind you an idiot. Are you still angry?

Just a simple exercise.

Don’t you see the contradiction? At least the urge arises because of both me and you in this scenario? Not just me.

Have you ever been angry for no reason and without apparent external triggers? You can actually do this. What does this say about your role in that?

Do you ever get angry?
