Do people tend to lash out on the ones they love the most?

Question

lash out = take there anger out on

Answer 1

yeah. because you know your limits and theirs.
we wouldnt walk down the street and lash out on a stranger , you dont know what they may do.
try not to see it as lasing out, but rather , expressing your emotions.

Answer 2

Of course.....if you cant depend on venting on those you love...who can you vent on?

Thats what family is for. During lashing out is when one can grow and learn an awful lot about themselves, and family and loved ones are required for that.

Sounds stupid but take it from a former SPAZ.....if it wasnt for my family, I'd probably be sitting in a bell tower somewhere with a rifle...hehehehhe

But my family put up with my "lashings" and helpped teach me that what I was doing wasn't normal but they were my family and they continued to lead by good example until I grew into the person that I am now.

Answer 3

It's very simple... when we love individuals we expect a lot from them; sometimes more then we should. And when our expectations are let down or become disappointed in a loved one it cause a lot of people to get angry. Mostly due to the fact that we love them and think that they love us; so why would they try hurt us? And just this thought can provoke anger (which psychologist say is close to love). Really; when we think why would they do this, we should understand that people do things unintentionally or without thinking their actions though clearly. They are only human and they will make mistakes.... We just have to learn to be more forgiving.

Answer 4

Yes, definitely. Being around your loved ones constantly can be quite redundant and may lead to "comfortable hostility". When you are amongst a group of people that you're comfortable with, it's easier to lash out because you know how they will react. Conversely, around strangers or people you're not comfortable with, you may have a tendency to hold back aggressive emotion.

Answer 5

always, and at any age, it's just the way it is. Crankiness is one thing, but anything more than that should NEVER be tolerated. I usually don't answer the person and try to fix a problem, I just listen and say "yeah, I hate that. If it's more than I can bear I just say "I don't like your tone, bring it down a little or talk to me later about it when your a little less loud" and walk away. It makes it more important that you stand up for yourself especially when its not YOU. and walking away makes a statement "I know your in a crappy mood, but it ain't me." Gives yourself a little more respect. Don't argue, just walk away and talk about it later if they have a problem. I usually clean a lot when my husband gets moody LOL

Answer 6

Yes, I believe they do, especially when they are having a bad day or they aren't feeling well. I know I do. I have been having some medical problems the last few weeks, and I have been really nervous and the least little things gets on my nerves so bad. I just loose it and snap at my family and husband.

Answer 7

There is old saying: "Familiarity breeds contempt"

Ain't it good to be able to come and vent err lash out?

Just say "Can't you use lash your toungue in a better way?
