How To Handle Someone With Anger Management Issues?

If you don't have an anger problem but someone around you does and their form of communication is to start shouting at you and looking for a fight what should you do if escaping the situation is a choice at the moment?

Issues Management Anger With Handle How

First I am not sure if you have a typo or not. You ask "What should you do if escaping the situation is a choice at the moment?" I am not sure if you meant that escaping is a choice or if you meant escaping is NOT a choice. However I would say that running away won't help unless it appears to be coming to physical violence. I know dealing with a screaming and yelling out of control angry person is not fun, but if you know how to talk to them you can help them get back under control. Generally knowing the person really well will help. You first have to realize if what they are screaming about is really the problem or if something else set them off but they are focusing on something more immediate because it is easier. Next it really helps if you have a good report with them so they know they can trust you and that what you are saying comes from a place of love. Then it just takes helping them realize what they are angry about and how they can resolve their anger. Unfortunately there is not easy 1 size fits all solution here. If you use placating general phrases, some people may respond positively to it, but others may think you are talking to down to them. If you use a loud voice and get their attention some people respond positively but others just get more riled up and louder. It really takes knowing the person and figuring out what they respond positively to. It may take some trial and error (On your part or by watching others try to deal with it). Just know that if they legitimately have anger problems, they have a chemical imbalance that they cannot control their emotions or their triggers. They aren't being this way because they choose to, they need and want help (Maybe not in the moment, but hopefully overall).
