#3 You Criticize Others a Lot

People who are angry frequently project their emotions by criticizing others and their work. They do that because they have very low self-esteem. It is a good way for them to try to manage their emotions in this manner because it normalizes their anger issues.

Many times, they act like they have the option to decide what they want to see in others, and they seem to prefer focusing on the negative traits.

To put it another way, those who are angry tend to blame others for their own shortcomings in order to spare themselves the pain of realizing they are owning up to them.

    I’m separating from my significant other due to anger issues. We have been together for 15 years, we own a house, we have a dog, and we have a bunch of beautiful memories, but my anger has torn us apart. I know there is nothing I can do to save this relationship, but I would like to save my life and maybe our friendship.

    I see a couple of items. The problem with this article is the 7 items stopped at ITEM 5.
    I do realize that number5 is a real issue with me. Thank you for a very good but incomplete synopsis.
