In this brief YouTube short, Jerry S. Lin explains that what we commonly label as anger is frequently a disguise for underlying fear. He identifies three common fears that manifest as anger: the fear of not being heard, the fear of a painful situation recurring, and the fear of feeling insignificant. Lin argues that anger emerges when it does not feel safe to be vulnerable, and therefore the appropriate response from others is not to meet anger with more anger but to provide validation and safety, such as saying, “I see you. You’re safe. You can slow down now.” This approach aims to help individuals feel heard and reduce the need to express anger.
