But I may have to adopt the tactic of imagining the person as a 2-year old in diapers having a tantrum. How can you be angry when picturing that?? ;-)Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09791338684143423577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34866775.post-34150100403775805392012-07-08T17:09:45.347-05:002012-07-08T17:09:45.347-05:00Agapewoman,

I had a boyfriend I almost married that used to yell at me quite often. I was always in tears. Good thing that relationship didn't work out. I often think what an awful father he would have made.<br /><br />Thanks for stopping in.Savvyworkinggalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08159197609419858161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34866775.post-84184068246701918782012-07-08T17:06:43.748-05:002012-07-08T17:06:43.748-05:00Felicia,

I know what you mean about sticking up for yourself.

My last job we were union so management had to tread lightly when speaking with us. You did wonderful, letting it go is my best advice. When I do let things go, it is truly easier to move on.cafemochaladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12926050639283249311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34866775.post-39106792251230206852012-07-07T11:00:23.280-05:002012-07-07T11:00:23.280-05:00I think I've only ever been yelled at once or ...I think I've only ever been yelled at once or twice by a boss in the past and it did not go over well. I'm pretty sure that I ended up crying either while they were yelling at me or after, but since then I think I've learned to keep my cool. Breathing is a great technique to utilize and one that I often forget to use. You've got some great tips to keeping your cool that I'm certainly going to have to put into practice.Feliciahttp://familialramblings.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34866775.post-1973887142964278542012-07-07T10:03:37.793-05:002012-07-07T10:03:37.793-05:00I've been yelled at at work plenty.

I made a mistake but the mistake was actually his fault! I ended up defending myself but he said some hateful things. I ended up leaving the office early that day. My co-worker told me that later he indicated that he had apologized to me but he never did. <br /><br />I don't believe it's ever appropriate to yell at an employee. They yelled frequently and at all of us there. That was a terrible place to work and I'm glad I'm no longer there.pattygardner.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08465166654988101342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34866775.post-27926328476331535742012-07-07T08:19:19.591-05:002012-07-07T08:19:19.591-05:00I like the idea you share about focusing on what t...I like the idea you share about focusing on what the other person is feeling or thinking while they are fussing at you. There are many times when people are in moods related to other things that are happening and just taking out those emotions on others!Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18149460205665593307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34866775.post-71994270322521055292012-07-05T21:43:34.319-05:002012-07-05T21:43:34.319-05:00Breathing through a screaming attack is essential....Breathing through a screaming attack is essential. It also helps when the other person loses control because it always makes me feel more empowered.

I don't think I'd be as calm as you were. Though you may not have listened well, I don't think you deserved to be yelled at. Good for you for taking the high road and, instead, working on your own improvement.another jenniferhttp://anotherjennifer.com/blognoreply@blogger.com
