Anger Management: The Beginning -- Post 7

(Again, I wrote this a couple days ago.)

I discovered that I'm running into another problem. I have to say, I'm a little surprised that I'm running into so many problems already. My other book, Anger Management by Judith Peacock, says that it's best to avoid all of my triggers so that I'll be angry less and I won't have to deal with the consequences of said anger. But really, how am I supposed to avoid all of those things. I think the main point is, I have an anger ISSUE, I get angry TOO often, which means that there is a wide range of things that anger me. Namely, people. I can't avoid people, they're everywhere. And yet, they're the thing that makes me angry most often. And no, it's not just a certain person or certain people, it's just people in general. I can avoid those certain people that I know make me angry on their own, but people in general? It just can't be done.
Then there's those stupid TV commercials for all those ringtones that no one wants. I mean, yeah, I can change the channel if I'm watching TV and one of those commercials come on, but I know it's there. And that makes me angry in and of its own. So do I just not watch TV? Or is that just letting my anger have control over me and keeping me from doing things. I don't think that's very productive either. So it's a catch 22. I don't know whether to go for the long term goal and not avoid things and just try to deal with them, or the short term one and just avoid them so that I won't get angry. I know it won't help the issue, but if I'm not angry, then it's something I suppose.
