2024-05-08 07:59:17 +0000 UTCItβs BLUFF! Lab research has shown that when participants are trying to solve a puzzle, anger increases the likelihood of solving correctly. Emotions are our friends! (DOI: 10.1037/pspa0000350)

2024-05-07 12:54:21 +0000 UTCWell, it depends, I always say bad shiβ¦t when Iβm upset and I canβt identify any problem or even solve it, is hard to me no escalate thing because I donβt know how to solve conflictsβ¦ I avoid it all cost. In few words I have poor emotional intelligence and my partner is very vocal ha. So his anger and my anger does not match and we donβt solve anything.

2024-05-07 12:31:19 +0000 UTCThe statement isnβt giving absolutes in its language. So Iβll say tough because anger can and often does come from an aroused state and when we are aroused we Are usually stupid and not as able to solve problems.
