How to act NOT angry?

Question

My sister-in-law and I are angry at each other. We are both strongly standing to our words. She went to shopping. When she comes back, I want to act like I forgot about the whole situation that happen and act like I'm happy to be in her house.

How can I act happy when I'm angry? I know if I tell her my true emotion we are going to get into arguments and maybe fight.

She don't have a family here, that's why I want to be nice to her.

Answer 1

Act polite, and the anger will fade. You'll find it's actually a lot harder to carry around the burden of anger than it is to make the decision simply to set it down and let it go. You both are in the same family and have to see each other and deal with each other for many years to come -- why muck it up?

You might have every reason in the world to be angry -- I'm not questioning that. But anger rarely solves anything, and usually makes the situation worse.

When she comes home, say hi, how was shopping, what did you buy? You won't regret it.

Good luck!

Answer 2

you may be better off avoiding any contact with her...If she is in the house you may want to leave or just keep a distance...Remind yourself she has no family wherever you are and she cant go anywhere..Maybe she actuallly misses her family and she is also upset at the position she is in...Try an be nice to her cause think if you were in her position...

try an count to ten when you start to get upset..Remember think before you act and talk...so you dont get yourself in to trouble...

Thanks!

Does not work, angry is angry. If you don"t get along there is little you can do about it other than not discuss or even talk about anything that might lead to a discussion.
