Anger, Blame and Denial

[StressBuster]

Are anger, blame and denial forms of distorted thinking—addictions—to avoid comprehension, compassion and change??? Thoughts anyone.

Hey , is this a test? Seriously I think your question needs to be more specific , less general. I will say I think they indicator defensive thinking, and if that's the case you would be defending questionable thinking, Did I pass? Pam

I feel this negative emotions are bestowed upon us to keep us from growing to our full potential. We are like flowers and the food which we are given will shrivel us or bloom us .. Words are too food for thought they will destroy us if negative or enrichen our soul if positive.

When we visit a shop we can be selective of what we hear, we hear what we want to hear. This is the same with general issues in life

We need to remove a plank of wood in our eye before we remove a speck of wood from someone else eye. I think that is the saying.

We also do not know how the person has been affected by life this can affect the way they see life in general

All the population will see, hear, respond to different situations. You can go through your question, it will take all day and possibly night as well.

Depression can possibly generate from life experiences, viva difference

They certainly were for my husband. I think it depends on the individual.

I agree with Pam...they are defensive modes of expression. Addictions are our comfort blankets although I think in many cases a small blanket would be much better for our health as addictions tend to be things that damage our health and are negative coping mechanisms but very difficult to change.

Lucky - food for thought!
