Get mad at event, not person

Get mad at event, not person

When we get mad at someone for something that they said or did, we should only talk about that. We should not say negative things about the character or personality of the person. We should learn to say, “What you said or did is wrong, you shouldn’t have done that” instead of “You are a mean person, you always hurt people”. Putting down a person creates negative reinforcement. It does not improve them.
