Do You Want to Be Likable?

CONTROL HOSTILITY

Expressing anger, aggressiveness, bitterness, hate, prejudice or loudness is the third quickest way to be perceived as unlikable. In reality, most anger is a secondary emotion that really represents more basic feelings of hurt, frustration, disappointment, fear or insecurity.

Hostility may also be a result of a person’s sense of not being able to control things in his or her life. The best way we can all decrease the amount of anger going on today is to not react angrily.
