Getting angry at someone because you don’t like their behavior lacks understanding. They aren’t here to satisfy your preferences, they’re here to live according to their own. Your anger is essentially a message saying “You shouldn’t act the way you want, you should act the way I want.” Criticism, blame and shame are all strategies from a primitive paradigm that don’t work well for anyone and never did. It’s useful to inform others of how you feel so they’re aware, but when you do it lovingly, with respect for your differences, they’re far more likely…
