WHY WE SHOUT IN ANGER

By TONY PRO.

Have you ever wondered why people raise their voices when they’re angry? Two individuals standing right next to each other suddenly start shouting, even though they can clearly hear each other. The answer lies not in their ears, but in their hearts.

When we get angry, the distance between hearts grows. Anger pushes us apart emotionally. Shouting becomes a desperate attempt to bridge that emotional gap to be heard, to be understood, or to assert power. But shouting doesn’t bring people closer; it often drives them further apart.

Think of it this way: when two people are in love, they whisper. Their hearts are close, their connection strong. No need for raised voices. The softer the words, the deeper the intimacy. In contrast, shouting reflects a broken bond, a sign that understanding has been replaced by frustration.

The next time you feel anger rising and your voice preparing to shout, pause. Lower your tone instead of raising it. Choose understanding over volume. Speak to bring hearts together, not to tear them further apart.

True strength isn’t in how loud you speak, it’s in how calmly you communicate.
