Sometimes anger comes out in funny ways: you may be peeved about traffic on the way to work, then snap at your co-worker when he does something a little irritating. Ask yourself if there is a bigger issue that may be fueling your anger. Look for different ways to approach the situation. How would an outsider respond? How important will this issue be in 6 months? Journal about your anger, and what led up to the feeling and behavior. What did the day look like beforehand? What was the ultimate trigger? What thoughts did you have right before the reaction? Sometimes you may dislike a person, and find many, many things that irritate you about that person that, had someone else done the same thing, wouldn't irritate you. Recognize that you may have a deep seeded issue with that person that may need to be resolved. For some people, getting angry means pulling inward. This is not a healthy way to deal with or express anger, and can be just as destructive as outwardly exploding. When you bottle in your emotions, you let them sit within you, until the opportunity comes to unleash them, either on yourself or onto someone else. You may think you are 'resolving' a situation by bottling your emotions, but this can actually lead to more aggressive behavior. If you aren't in a position to discuss your anger, journal about it. Release the anger! You may want to go on a walk (or a run) to help calm the tension. Whatever it is, make sure you let the anger out productively. While some people bottle their emotions, others express anger by emotionally losing control or sometimes physically lashing out. Even if it might feel good at the time to get that anger out, this is not a positive and constructive way to deal with anger. While it may feel good in the moment to "let it rip", don't fall into the trap. The urge to yell, hit or throw things will pass. Focus on experiencing how anger feels in your body. You may feel a burning sensation in your chest or a tightness in your throat. Allow yourself to experience where anger shows up in your body and stay with that feeling. Focusing in the physical sensation can help alleviate the emotional intensity. Sometimes anger is the most socially acceptable emotion, so you may choose to express multiple emotions as anger. You may feel sad, disconnected, or ignored, then express these as anger through lashing out or blaming others. Recognize that you, like everyone, experience a multitude of emotions each day that deserve to be expressed. Positive and negative emotions are okay to feel. Get back in touch with your feelings, and allow yourself to express each emotion. Recognize each time you have an emotion and try to label it. "I am feeling happy I am drinking this milkshake", "This movie makes me sad", "I'm excited to see my brother", or "I dread going to work today." Just notice each emotion and do not judge it.

Q: Making stud earrings is easy once you have assembled your materials. Check out your local craft store for earring flatbacks, earring decor pieces, and jewelry glue. Before you get started, you will need: Stud earring flatbacks Earring decor pieces, such as beads, buttons, pennants, etc. Jewelry glue (or super glue) Paper towels Toothpick Use the toothpick to apply a dot of glue to the stud earring flatback. You don't need a large amount of glue, just enough to cover the surface of the earring flatback. Superglue also works if you are in a hurry. If using superglue, then you can apply the earring glue directly onto the earring flatback with the tube. Only use a small amount and be careful not to get any on your skin or other surfaces. Be sure to work over a paper towel to avoid getting glue onto your table and other surfaces. Take the piece you want to mount on the earring back and press it onto the glue on the earring flatback. Hold the pieces firmly together for a minute to give them a chance to bond. Then, place the earring on your paper towel to dry the rest of the way. If the earring piece you have added has a flat surface, such as a button or flat pennant, then place the earring face down rather than on its side. Leave the earrings alone to dry for a few hours or overnight. It is important to let them dry completely before you wear them. If you used superglue, then your earrings will be ready after just a few minutes. However, you may still want to leave them be for up to an hour to let the glue dry and bond completely.
A: Gather your materials. Apply glue to the earring flatback. Press earring decor onto the earring flatback. Allow glue to dry.

Article: Sometimes, sensitivity is a product of having people be especially harsh or mean to you, or abandoning you, in the past. Consider your childhood, teen years, and later experiences (if any). Past experiences with rejection, judgment, and abandonment may make you especially sensitive to these things. People with overly critical parents or guardians may end up especially sensitive as a result (and may show signs of anxiety or depression). Untangling some of these feelings might help you understand why you feel this way. What are you afraid of? Why are you so afraid of it? Think about it. This can stir up intense emotions, including buried ones, so expect to take weeks, months, or years to work on this problem, with plenty of breaks if you get overwhelmed. Talking to a counselor or therapist may help. People's opinions and behaviors are just that. We become more susceptible to someone's opinions if we are feeling doubtful and placing too much of our own self-worth on the opinions and actions of others. When you are confident in your abilities, another person's rude behavior or negative opinion will be less likely to affect you. Feeling proud and confident in your own skills is more important than the passing opinions of others. Write a list of your strengths and abilities to remember what your strong points are. Make a list of things or moments that you're proud of. Reward yourself for these good things. Think about the sorts of skills that you demonstrate during these moments. How can you do more of those things? This will help build your self-confidence. Contributing and helping others feels very rewarding and gives you a sense of purpose. This contributes greatly to feelings of self-confidence. Remind yourself of your benefits and contributions to others around you. Consider volunteering your time at a hospital, school event, local humane society, or website like wikiHow. Having things to work towards give you a sense of self-worth and purpose. This includes things you'd like to improve on or advance in. Next, take each goal and break it into smaller steps. How can you begin working towards that goal? What little thing could you do now? If you're especially sensitive to how people treat you and you often overreact, you might have a strong radar for rejection. You worry that you're doing something wrong if you pick up on any kind of displeasure, and you want to fix it. However, it is important to understand that just because someone isn't happy with you doesn't mean you've done something wrong. In many cases, it means that person isn't happy with themselves and expects you to fill in the blanks (which is impossible). Consider playing rejection therapy to gently increase your tolerance of rejection. If you think that you respond too sensitively to other people's comments, you might benefit from talking about things with a counselor. This person can help you identify issues that lend to your hypersensitivity. They can also suggest strategies for coping when you interact with negative people. Sometimes, extreme sensitivity is a sign of a disorder such as C-PTSD.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Consider if anything in your life caused you to be more sensitive. Take time to think about why you feel and react this way. Write a list of your strengths. Remind yourself of how you help others. Write a list of goals. Remind yourself that you don't need anyone's approval. Try talking to a mental health counselor.
