How to deal with someone with an anger management issue?

wickeywickey

Someone close has an anger management issue. They blame everything and do not admit it. When they talk about it, they give enough leeway to gain ground in the argument and then shift the conversation to what others are doing while their behavior remains the same. What to do to relate that they need to change?

calmly tell them to CHILL every time they get mad

Talk to them like they're getting their way. They should think you're taking their side and become more rational. Like saying"Ok I understand, your way seems nice, but here's a better way."It's all about tricking their mind into thinking that they're getting what they want, but you're slowly persuading them to your side.

They have to recognize they have a problem and decide to change themselves.

tell them that they seem to be struggling with something, but you can't tell what, tell them that if they need to vent something that you are always available to listen, and make sure to tell them that if they want to vent, they also need to problem solve and you are more than willing to help them with that. wait until you are together in private and don't be too pushy or you will push them away (even if you don't mean to)

If you have an anger management issue try to change topic and people who are suffering with this problem you just take deep and long breath and try to recover your anger management. So don't beware anger is sometime actual need for men.

Exactly, couldn't agree more.

Firstly, the willingness to get rid of this problem must come from within.

As far as a argument is concerned, try quoting yourself like "you sound right but could it be possible this way too" and see how the other person reacts.

If the situation is out of control, its better to see a psychologist but again as I said earlier that it helps only if there is a self realization and willingness.
