Have you ever wondered why some people are so easy to provoke even when you do nothing bad to them If you do any kind of mistake the person provoked will surely have an excuse even if your mistake is trivial but what about people who seem to have been provoked for no Something, I'm going to share with you 7 reasons why it's easy to provoke some people?
1. they have serious insecurities
we all have insecurities after all we are perfect humans but some people have serious insecurities that force them to interpret every action and comment in the wrong way those people will always get provoked simply because they will see a different version of reality based on their own faulty interpretation people who have serious trust issues might try to find a bad meaning behind every innocent action that people do people with serious trust issues are very likely to interpret your words or actions incorrectly just because they believe you have bad intentions a practical example is a mother's outburst whenever someone of the opposite sex visits her daughter or a possessive man's reaction when he sees his partner male chattering and laughing with another male who may even be a family member
2. they have been seriously broken before
if a person was seriously hurt before in such a way that they never recovered from them they will become extremely sensitive to any threat later on in such a case this person might interpret many of your innocent words as threats and so they might get provoked easily one common example of hurt that can trigger easy provocation is grief can be an overwhelming emotion that is often associated with hardship pain and personal loss grief can stem from the death of friends loved one's partners family members or even pet grief can also be caused by other hardships including professional or personal disappointment the loss of a job physical injury or even current events when you are overwhelmed by grief it can quickly turn towards anger grieving people are often frustrated by the cruelty and unfairness of the world angry that a future they had envisioned is no longer possible and upset with people who aren't able to understand and sympathize with their suffering furthermore anytime a situation that led to their grief arises in the future they react in an extremely aggressive manner to avoid repetition
3. they suffer from ACP
ACP is the short term for anger control problems according to a study of 1 300 people who were seeking treatment of mental health the clinic found that ACP was just as prevalent as depression and anxiety for that group of people if this rate holds for the general population it would mean that millions of people around the world are affected by ACP people with anger control problems ACP often quickly react in aggressive ways when they feel insulted wronged or injured especially when they think they're being treated unfairly everyone gets angry sometimes this is normal and sometimes even necessary and helpful however people with ACP often react in a way that is more intense and aggressive then what is needed in the situation is some of them may even physically hurt themselves or the other people around them when someone is struggling with ACP it's readily noticed the person gets angry very easily frequently and with great intensity and may remain angry for as long as an entire day
4. lack of good sense of humor
have you ever made a joke that got people angry not because it was an offensive joke but because they just did not understand what you meant well often people who like to joke around get into trouble with others who are not humorous and people who are not humorous are so quick to get provoked if they are not around individuals with a healthy sense of humor with the business and stress of our everyday life having a good sense of humor is paramount
5. feeling powerless
another common cause of easy provocation is powerlessness this feeling is often associated with a loss of control and feeling of helplessness nobody likes to be in a position where they feel helpless this person may react with aggressiveness when stuck in situations that are beyond their control for instance if you're suffering from issues with your health struck in an abusive relationship or even just feeling trapped or just had a major failure you might tend to get an aggressive response to issues beyond your control to be proactive rather than provocative if you have a health issue and are frustrated with having to deal with it then try to be proactive in learning about your condition and how to treat it or live with it if you are in an abusive relationship gather up the courage and call it quits if you do not find a way to manage that situation that makes you feel helpless it will mess your mental health and you may likely start to experience anger control problems ACP
6. they have past traumatic experiences
a traumatic or painful experience can have long-lasting effects even if you think you've moved on from the event memories of past trauma can trigger anxiety frustration and even extreme anger outbursts for instance a lady who was raped when she was still very young may grow up being bitter and hitting the opposite sex or still if she was defiled by someone close to her she may even detest her own siblings and her partner if she even agrees to have one if she manages to get married she may extend that hatred to her son and act aggressively towards him until she can heal from past trauma she will continue to be easily provoked by any person of the opposite sex to properly resolve past trauma it's always a good idea to seek the help of professional counseling services can help you navigate negative emotions control excessive anger and develop strategies for coping with painful or triggering circumstances
7. they are afraid of change
imagine getting into a religious conversation that is quite sentimental with his religious beliefs if you try to point out obvious errors in his belief system they would never agree to it instead he might get angry and even attempt to attack you physically humans are generally overprotective of their beliefs we hold on to what we were taught as kids so much so that change seems so scary so when we find that
