Defense Mechanisms are defined as methods the ego uses to avoid recognizing ideas or emotions that may cause personal anxiety. In other words, it is our body’s way from hiding from emotional and physical pain. People use these methods so they do not hold quilt or pressure but many of times it adds to one’s stress level. In using these methods, there should be certain steps to take to ensure that stress does not overwhelm and consume the being. I have recently used denial, rationalization, and repression which as a result added to my stress level and could have been easily managed.
In doing this, I wasn’t thinking about the feelings of others and how they could be negatively affected. By self-disclosing information that was most likely false, I put a burden on another person. I now realize that this is not a proper way to make a self-disclosure. But when it comes to the other guidelines, I believe that I have used them all correctly.

Anger is learned Anger is a bad habit that can be changed with conscientious effort This article is not a lecture because I believe we all have our share of the subject.

Anger is a secondary emotion, which means it is a reaction to an underlying stimulus. Pain can manifest in the form of anger.

So, I have decided to work on those weaknesses in order to not make me matter too much in my life. If I don’t they will produce negative consequences and may even disrupt my efforts while I use my personal strengths.
