ANGER ISSUES AND SILENT SUFFERING


Anger is a disease that hardly gets treated because a person with anger issues would never agree he has a serious problem or get help.  A lot of relationships get wrecked , a lot of women become victimized and undergo grave suffering due to her spouse’s temper tantrums and anger issues. When a divorce takes place or the wife leaves her spouse , it’s almost always considered as the woman’s fault, especially in Asian countries.  The sad part is the victim and the children of an angry parent  and their lives get severely affected.
Anger mostly is passed on from volatile personality of the parent(s) to the child. When a child is growing up, knowingly or unknowingly,  his parents become his role models. An angry man would have been raised in an atmosphere where there was emotional, verbal and or physical abuse, parent(s) who could not control their temper. If he had friends who were prone to anger and personality disorders,  that would have contributed to a volatile cocktail. He grows up into an adult thinking  throwing temper tantrums, being arrogant, aggressive, abusive or violent  can :
* Get what he wants, because others are scared and others will do what he asks of them
* Gain control over the less powerful or timid people around him
* Get his point across.
* Dominate and suppress the other person giving a great sadistic thrill or a sense of power.
* Punishing the vitcim by withdrawing, refusing to speak and showing neglect can get what he wants.
He cannot accept a 'No' for an answer. It’s what he wants that matters most.  When a person is angry, he goes to many disturbing extent to get what he wants, even if it means hurting those closest to him verbally or physically. When he is angry, no one or nothing matters, suddenly those concerned who he is dealing with becomes his ‘enemies’ and they are 'responsible' for his erratic behavior.  In order to get his ‘point’ or ‘wish’ across, he may even throw things, and break valuables. To an angry person, it’s always the other person’s fault, never his.  He likes to literally make his victim(s) feel that they are wrong and so deserve being ill-treated or humiliated or abused. Most angry people also involve in risky behaviour.
A lot of women silently suffer humiliation, abuse and insults at the hands of spouses who are habitually prone to anger.  Anger is all about power, it’s a game of power and control. A person is mostly in his senses and he chooses to ‘get angry’ to get what he wants.  He doesnot want to discuss, or take other's suggestions and views in a civil manner. The same angry person can have a totally different side to himself;  a charming, sweet spoken side, which he uses to manipulate others.  After an anger outbreak episode, he can be quite nice to the victim which makes the victim feel confused and actually accept his temper tantrums bringing herself to believe it’s her fault and she silently accepts and relents to his character ‘to make everything alright’. She is scared to 'piss him off'. What a victim should realize is,  It’s never alright and it will never be alright'. Anger based abuse is still abuse, no matter what. Either the perpetrator gets psychiatric help or the victim should get herself out of her destitution. People who have bi-polar disorder also exhibits the same patterns.
If someone  humiliates, screams, behaves nasty,  verbally puts you down,  scares you, or your views are looked down upon,  or abuses you,  break things etc., you have to realize it not healthy, its not right, you don't have to accept it,  and you deserve better.  Speaking up for yourself, protecting your interests, rights and your sanity of mind is of utmost importance. 
As for angry people, get help...sooner the better, don't hurt those around you and destroy their lives.

THINGS MEN CANT STAND ABOUT A WOMAN


All women know what they can't stand in a man. I thought of compiling a list of things men can't stand about a woman; things that drive them away, things that upset them, things if continued over a period of time, can strain relationships and marriages. Sometimes a woman would wonder what could be the reason. Thoughts like 'he doesn't understand me, he doesn't care, or he doesn't love me anymore, he is too busy in his own world to be bothered about me, his friends or his computer is more imporant, maybe he has another woman in his life' are some of the common thoughts that run in a woman's mind when things go wrong.

Life is never perfect and no human is. We are hardwired to behave or conduct ourselves in a particular way. Observe how one tends to feel, think, behave or react in day to day life, that spark discords or turn your man off.  One can improve a relationship and keep it strong by putting a little effort in changing one's  negative traits or habits that fuel unpleasantness, arguments or discords. In every argument between a man and woman, there lies an answer. He almost always lets you know the reason that drives him up the wall during a discord. Create positive traits and healthy behavioural patterns  in place of  negative ones. It might be a bit hard to change long time habits but it's not impossible. It can make relationships and life better and happier. I was doing a bit of research on this and here is a LIST of things men can't stand in a woman.

* Bossy
* Dumb
* Expects the guy to read her mind
* Uncaring
* Argumentative about trivials and making mountains out of mole hills
* Cannot cook
* Cribby
* Very aggressive/arrogant
* Not giving enough space to her man (always clinging)
* Wanting too many things
* Belittling him or putting him down in front of family and friends
* Always talking about other guys and comparing with her man
* Cheating
* Insensitive, cold
* Drama queen
* Always in a power struggle
* Obsessively jealous/suspicious of her man
* Too pushy
* Gossips all the time
* Selfish/self centered
* Agony aunt always offering unsolicited advise and solutions to everyone
* In law bashing
* Workaholic
* Not saying what she means
* Always critical of everything he does
* Doesnot take care of her health/weight
* Umkempt/unclean
* Whining all the time

ARE T.V.'s, COMPUTERS AND GADGETS MAKING PEOPLE DEAF?


Did you face this dilemna ...you are talking to your spouse, or teen, sibling or friend and he or she 'selectively' does hear what you say, because the person is so engrossed watching T.V, or using the computer or reading a book, or sending text messages, or busy on the iPAD. Do you find you have to repeat yourself, as suddenly the person you are talking to goes, 'What did you say', and worst....returns to watching T.V., or computer or some gadget and half hears what you say or still does not 'hear' what you say. The reason is, the person's mind is so busy and occupied that they exhibit 'inattentional' deafness, as psychologists put it, subconsciously turning down the volume on anything else going around him, as his mind is totally engrossed in the gadget, that he cannot hear what is being said when someone is talking to him. 

Are people getting so intimate with their gadgets that they are turning deaf...paying little or no attention to the real life people around them. It's absolutely rude, uncaring and discourteous. People who are glued to their gadgets have to stop what they are doing and listen if someone is talking to them. Or else gadget lovers would have to face big time trouble with relationships in the long run.....

TALK ON SOLVING MYSTERIES OF MEN AT TIES CENTER


Dr. Mohammed Al-Banay




Yesterday, I had posted about this Seminar ‘Solving mysteries of  Men’ at TIES Center in South Surra. Well, it was an interesting Seminar and the ladies had lots of questions and sought advise and clarifications on various personal issues faced between men and women. Dr. Mohammed Al Banay who conducted this, is a psychologist, an NLP Trainer and a black belt in Karate.

In a nutshell, let me share some of Dr. Banay's  important tips for women. Share your husband’s interests like football or whatever hobby. Don’t tell him too many things at one time. Men are goal oriented and women are process oriented. So tell him exactly what you want or what you wish of him to do, one thing at a time. Don’t expect him to read your mind or know what you are feeling. Don’t ask him to take you to several places one after the other on the same day, ask him to take to one place.  Tell him in advance something you both need to do together or going out and give him a few reminders . Tell him in advance and give him a list and remind him of the groceries or stuff he needs to get for the home. Sit with him, spend time with him when he watches T.V. Show interest in the topics he likes to talk about. Men feel they are always right, because they feel responsible for their wife and children and he does not like  his wife to think he is wrong…and wrong could mean a deficit from his part in terms of inability to fulfill his role as the head of the family. Due to sense of responsibility comes this inhibition. 

He pays attention to his parents and siblings as much as he needs to pay attention to his wife and children out his sense of duty. Dr. Banay also stressed that men should provide the psychological atmosphere for his wife to be able to happily  take care of home and raise children. Providing for the wife, also includes the husband must provide the right atmosphere, love and consideration for her so she can be the best wife and mother. And a word of advise for women…Don’t let yourself go…after getting children. Take care of your health…if you put on weight, do take care…exercise and keep fit. And also talk to your husband, show him you love him and care for him. If he forgets to tell you he loves you, you could remind him and he will tell you that he loves you ! Don’t ignore the little things he expects of you. Men who stay away from home for long hours (away from his wife) is unhappy or having issues due to  marital discords.

Dr. Mohammed Al Banay gives private personal counseling to men and women related to relationships and marital issues to help couples have a happy and healthy marriage. People who have marital issues and discords are sometimes reluctant or shy or afraid to seek help. When they get professional guidance or counseling, it helps  to improve their relationship and quality of life. You can contact the TIES Center  for Dr. Mohammed Al Banay's details and contact information,  if you want to get in touch with him. Thankyou TIES Center for arranging this Seminar.
