After work I usually go out with some friends and have a few drinks

We usually complain about our jobs over a bottle of Soju

Drinking is the way we deal with stress

On the weekend my friends and I go out and drink a lot Its the only

way to stop thinking about work

Although drinking to relieve stress is a normal practice It is a bad interview question When you are talking to friends it is normal to say that you drink to take care of the stress but if you talk to someone important make sure you give a simple answer

I usually go to the river and relax by the waterI like to rent a movie and relax on the sofa This really helps me deal with my stressWhat stresses you out the mostWhat makes you stressed the mostWhere do you get the most stress fromMy company gives me the most stressMy girlfriend gives me the most stressI get a lot of stress from my parentsSchool is the most stressful for meEverything about life is stressfulI have a lot of stress trying to pay all the bills

Anger

Anger

Different people react in different ways when they are angry In this lesson we will look at a variety of sentences people use when they are angry When someone is angry in the real world they use a lot of profanity or curse words Because of this fact this lesson will contain bad words

There are many ways a person can get angry Lets first look at the situation where it involved a different person

Im so pissed Roger just stabbed me in the back

What was he thinking I thought we were friends too

I dont know what Im going to do when I see him I found out that hes

been sleeping with my girlfriend

Matt is dating my ex-girlfriend Im pretty upset about that He knows I

still have feelings for her

Whenever I think about him I get pissed He treats his friends like crap

I cant believe he was talking behind my back Whenever he talks to me

he acts like were close friends

Matt borrowed my car and put a dent in it He claims he didnt do it Im

never trusting him again

I told Scott a secret and made sure he never tells anyone The next week I

heard it from three different people I was so pissed

Anger - UnderstandingThere are only a few things you need to say when someone is talking to you about anger The best thing to do is understand their feeling

I cant believe that happened Id be so pissed

I know how you feel I was so angry when that happened to me

I cant imagine how angry you must feel That has never happened to

me

If that happened to me Id get revenge

What are you going to do to get him back

That totally sucks but Im not surprised I always knew he was a back

stabber

The best thing to do is stop being his friend He doesnt deserve to

have any friends

Anger - ConfrontingWhen you are talking to the person that made you angry it is common to lose control and say a lot of things Here are some common sentences

I thought you were a friend I had so much trust in you I cant believe you did

this to me

What were you thinking when you stabbed me in the back Did it feel good

Whyd you do it

You know I still have feelings for Mandy You didnt even consider my feelings

What Am I not a friend or something

Youre not the only one hurting for money You owe me five hundred dollars I

need it now

You didnt have to tell my parents that I owed you money I said I would pay

you back when I got my paycheck I cant believe you would do this

Sentences you can ask or say if you feel a friend is angry with you

Are you mad at me

Are you angry

Youre not disappointed are you

Dont be angry with me I really didnt mean it

I didnt know you were involved I hope youre not mad at me

I really didnt know it was going to make you upset

Anger - OtherIf you make good friends you can avoid these types of scenarios However there are times when the situation was out of your control For example a friend of mine had to landscape his back yard for his house so he called a company to delivery a lot of top soil As the driver was driving back to the house he hit my friends house and damaged a pipeline The driver claimed it wasnt his fault and said he wouldnt pay for the damages When things like this happen we use the court system to get payment But my friend was so angry because they were not accepting fault Here are some of the things I heard

I was so pissed for a couple of weeks During that time I thought of twenty

different ways I could hurt his business

Im going to screw with him so much

In the end everything worked out They went to court and my friend won

There are a couple of other emotions that are similar to being angry Ill cover some of them here

Im so frustrated

Its so frustrating working with him

I was so frustrated I stopped caring about the outcome

He gets frustrated pretty easily

Its easy to get frustrated when things are not fair

Im not really mad just a little disappointed

That really hurt me Im so disappointed

Im really disappointed in you I didnt know you could stoop to that level

In boxing a low blow is a hit below the belt that is considered unfair The term low blow became widely used when someone did something unfair Here are some sentences to give you an idea

That was low

I cant believe Jackie would do something so low

Now that we know what low means stooping to that level means to do something that is low You are basically lowering yourself to perform a bad or unfair task

B A tow truck was towing my car and put all those dents in my car

A Are they going to pay you for the damages

Anger

Anger

Different people react in different ways when they are angry In this lesson we will look at a variety of sentences people use when they are angry When someone is angry in the real world they use a lot of profanity or curse words Because of this fact this lesson will contain bad words

There are many ways a person can get angry Lets first look at the situation where it involved a different person

Im so pissed Roger just stabbed me in the back

What was he thinking I thought we were friends too

I dont know what Im going to do when I see him I found out that hes

been sleeping with my girlfriend

Matt is dating my ex-girlfriend Im pretty upset about that He knows I

still have feelings for her

Whenever I think about him I get pissed He treats his friends like crap

I cant believe he was talking behind my back Whenever he talks to me

he acts like were close friends

Matt borrowed my car and put a dent in it He claims he didnt do it Im

never trusting him again

I told Scott a secret and made sure he never tells anyone The next week I

heard it from three different people I was so pissed

Anger - UnderstandingThere are only a few things you need to say when someone is talking to you about anger The best thing to do is understand their feeling

I cant believe that happened Id be so pissed

I know how you feel I was so angry when that happened to me

I cant imagine how angry you must feel That has never happened to

me

If that happened to me Id get revenge

What are you going to do to get him back

That totally sucks but Im not surprised I always knew he was a back

stabber

The best thing to do is stop being his friend He doesnt deserve to

have any friends

Anger - ConfrontingWhen you are talking to the person that made you angry it is common to lose control and say a lot of things Here are some common sentences

I thought you were a friend I had so much trust in you I cant believe you did

this to me

What were you thinking when you stabbed me in the back Did it feel good

Whyd you do it

You know I still have feelings for Mandy You didnt even consider my feelings

What Am I not a friend or something

Youre not the only one hurting for money You owe me five hundred dollars I

need it now

You didnt have to tell my parents that I owed you money I said I would pay

you back when I got my paycheck I cant believe you would do this

Sentences you can ask or say if you feel a friend is angry with you

Are you mad at me

Are you angry

Youre not disappointed are you

Dont be angry with me I really didnt mean it

I didnt know you were involved I hope youre not mad at me

I really didnt know it was going to make you upset

Anger - OtherIf you make good friends you can avoid these types of scenarios However there are times when the situation was out of your control For example a friend of mine had to landscape his back yard for his house so he called a company to delivery a lot of top soil As the driver was driving back to the house he hit my friends house and damaged a pipeline The driver claimed it wasnt his fault and said he wouldnt pay for the damages When things like this happen we use the court system to get payment But my friend was so angry because they were not accepting fault Here are some of the things I heard

I was so pissed for a couple of weeks During that time I thought of twenty

different ways I could hurt his business

Im going to screw with him so much

In the end everything worked out They went to court and my friend won

There are a couple of other emotions that are similar to being angry Ill cover some of them here

Im so frustrated

Its so frustrating working with him

I was so frustrated I stopped caring about the outcome

He gets frustrated pretty easily

Its easy to get frustrated when things are not fair

Im not really mad just a little disappointed

That really hurt me Im so disappointed

Im really disappointed in you I didnt know you could stoop to that level

In boxing a low blow is a hit below the belt that is considered unfair The term low blow became widely used when someone did something unfair Here are some sentences to give you an idea

That was low

I cant believe Jackie would do something so low

Now that we know what low means stooping to that level means to do something that is low You are basically lowering yourself to perform a bad or unfair task

Anger - Dialogues

B A tow truck was towing my car and put all those dents in my car

A Are they going to pay you for the damages

Anger

Anger

Different people react in different ways when they are angry In this lesson we will look at a variety of sentences people use when they are angry When someone is angry in the real world they use a lot of profanity or curse words Because of this fact this lesson will contain bad words

There are many ways a person can get angry Lets first look at the situation where it involved a different person

Im so pissed Roger just stabbed me in the back

What was he thinking I thought we were friends too

I dont know what Im going to do when I see him I found out that hes

been sleeping with my girlfriend

Matt is dating my ex-girlfriend Im pretty upset about that He knows I

still have feelings for her

Whenever I think about him I get pissed He treats his friends like crap

I cant believe he was talking behind my back Whenever he talks to me

he acts like were close friends

Matt borrowed my car and put a dent in it He claims he didnt do it Im

never trusting him again

I told Scott a secret and made sure he never tells anyone The next week I

heard it from three different people I was so pissed

Anger - UnderstandingThere are only a few things you need to say when someone is talking to you about anger The best thing to do is understand their feeling

I cant believe that happened Id be so pissed

I know how you feel I was so angry when that happened to me

I cant imagine how angry you must feel That has never happened to

me

If that happened to me Id get revenge

What are you going to do to get him back

That totally sucks but Im not surprised I always knew he was a back

stabber

The best thing to do is stop being his friend He doesnt deserve to

have any friends

Anger - ConfrontingWhen you are talking to the person that made you angry it is common to lose control and say a lot of things Here are some common sentences

I thought you were a friend I had so much trust in you I cant believe you did

this to me

What were you thinking when you stabbed me in the back Did it feel good

Whyd you do it

You know I still have feelings for Mandy You didnt even consider my feelings

What Am I not a friend or something

Youre not the only one hurting for money You owe me five hundred dollars I

need it now

You didnt have to tell my parents that I owed you money I said I would pay

you back when I got my paycheck I cant believe you would do this

Sentences you can ask or say if you feel a friend is angry with you

Are you mad at me

Are you angry

Youre not disappointed are you

Dont be angry with me I really didnt mean it

I didnt know you were involved I hope youre not mad at me

I really didnt know it was going to make you upset

Anger - OtherIf you make good friends you can avoid these types of scenarios However there are times when the situation was out of your control For example a friend of mine had to landscape his back yard for his house so he called a company to delivery a lot of top soil As the driver was driving back to the house he hit my friends house and damaged a pipeline The driver claimed it wasnt his fault and said he wouldnt pay for the damages When things like this happen we use the court system to get payment But my friend was so angry because they were not accepting fault Here are some of the things I heard

I was so pissed for a couple of weeks During that time I thought of twenty

different ways I could hurt his business

Im going to screw with him so much

In the end everything worked out They went to court and my friend won

There are a couple of other emotions that are similar to being angry Ill cover some of them here

Im so frustrated

Its so frustrating working with him

I was so frustrated I stopped caring about the outcome

He gets frustrated pretty easily

Its easy to get frustrated when things are not fair

Im not really mad just a little disappointed

That really hurt me Im so disappointed

Im really disappointed in you I didnt know you could stoop to that level

In boxing a low blow is a hit below the belt that is considered unfair The term low blow became widely used when someone did something unfair Here are some sentences to give you an idea

That was low

I cant believe Jackie would do something so low

Now that we know what low means stooping to that level means to do something that is low You are basically lowering yourself to perform a bad or unfair task

Anger - Dialogues

A What happened to your car

B A tow truck was towing my car and put all those dents in my car

A Are they going to pay you for the damages

B Theyre saying it was already there

A What the hell That doesnt make sense What are you going to do

B I have to go to court A cop was there so he can prove that the damage

wasnt there

A That sucks Id be pissed if that happened to me

B I got an estimate and its four thousand dollars

A Oh my gosh Damn screw the court I would burn down their store

B Well see what happens after court

Shes sad that she wasnt selected as the representative

I got a bad grade in my final Im just a little down

Jack is feeling pretty down Lets take him out for a night of fun

Because there are so many things in the world that can make us sad it is hard to cover everything I can only cover the tip of the iceberg on this subject But feel free to ask any specific questions and we will let you know the proper sentence for your situation

Our team lost the final match We were second placeMy mother is very sick right now Im worried and sadMy grandmother is in the hospital I dont think shes going to make itMy uncle was diagnosed with cancer The doctors dont expect him to make itMy cousin was killed in a car accident It was the saddest thing in my lifeI trained so hard but I didnt make the wrestling team Im a little downI didnt get into that University Im so depressed and my parents are going to be so disappointedMy grandfather just passed away I was so close to him

Sometimes sadness can turn into anger For example when the US gets away with gold medals at the cost of Koreans or other countries its sad to see After the initial feeling it turns into anger

Korea lost the gold medal to the US It was so depressing

watching the US get away with another gold medalldquo

Im getting sick of watching Korea get screwed by the

Americans Its really discouraging

Sad or Depressed - Situational DepressionDepression is classified as a disease Many people suffer from depression and it is good to know how to say some sentences whether it is you or someone else

Situational depression

When someone first comes to the United States it is common to be depressed This is usually due to loneliness boredom or feeling sad because you miss your friends and family

I think Im depressed because I have nothing to do here

Im depressed because I dont have anything here

Im so lonely here I left all my friends to come here

>

>

Usually time heals these types of problems Sometimes whatever you say doesnt really help They know the problem but they cant control how they feel Regardless saying that you understand can show them that you care

It must be really tough leaving your friends and family behind

Anger

Anger

Different people react in different ways when they are angry In this lesson we will look at a variety of sentences people use when they are angry When someone is angry in the real world they use a lot of profanity or curse words Because of this fact this lesson will contain bad words

There are many ways a person can get angry Lets first look at the situation where it involved a different person

Im so pissed Roger just stabbed me in the back

What was he thinking I thought we were friends too

I dont know what Im going to do when I see him I found out that hes

been sleeping with my girlfriend

Matt is dating my ex-girlfriend Im pretty upset about that He knows I

still have feelings for her

Whenever I think about him I get pissed He treats his friends like crap

I cant believe he was talking behind my back Whenever he talks to me

he acts like were close friends

Matt borrowed my car and put a dent in it He claims he didnt do it Im

never trusting him again

I told Scott a secret and made sure he never tells anyone The next week I

heard it from three different people I was so pissed

Anger - UnderstandingThere are only a few things you need to say when someone is talking to you about anger The best thing to do is understand their feeling

I cant believe that happened Id be so pissed

I know how you feel I was so angry when that happened to me

I cant imagine how angry you must feel That has never happened to

me

If that happened to me Id get revenge

What are you going to do to get him back

That totally sucks but Im not surprised I always knew he was a back

stabber

The best thing to do is stop being his friend He doesnt deserve to

have any friends

Anger - ConfrontingWhen you are talking to the person that made you angry it is common to lose control and say a lot of things Here are some common sentences

I thought you were a friend I had so much trust in you I cant believe you did

this to me

What were you thinking when you stabbed me in the back Did it feel good

Whyd you do it

You know I still have feelings for Mandy You didnt even consider my feelings

What Am I not a friend or something

Youre not the only one hurting for money You owe me five hundred dollars I

need it now

You didnt have to tell my parents that I owed you money I said I would pay

you back when I got my paycheck I cant believe you would do this

Sentences you can ask or say if you feel a friend is angry with you

Are you mad at me

Are you angry

Youre not disappointed are you

Dont be angry with me I really didnt mean it

I didnt know you were involved I hope youre not mad at me

I really didnt know it was going to make you upset

Anger - OtherIf you make good friends you can avoid these types of scenarios However there are times when the situation was out of your control For example a friend of mine had to landscape his back yard for his house so he called a company to delivery a lot of top soil As the driver was driving back to the house he hit my friends house and damaged a pipeline The driver claimed it wasnt his fault and said he wouldnt pay for the damages When things like this happen we use the court system to get payment But my friend was so angry because they were not accepting fault Here are some of the things I heard

I was so pissed for a couple of weeks During that time I thought of twenty

different ways I could hurt his business

Im going to screw with him so much

In the end everything worked out They went to court and my friend won

There are a couple of other emotions that are similar to being angry Ill cover some of them here

Im so frustrated

Its so frustrating working with him

I was so frustrated I stopped caring about the outcome

He gets frustrated pretty easily

Its easy to get frustrated when things are not fair

Im not really mad just a little disappointed

That really hurt me Im so disappointed

Im really disappointed in you I didnt know you could stoop to that level

In boxing a low blow is a hit below the belt that is considered unfair The term low blow became widely used when someone did something unfair Here are some sentences to give you an idea

That was low

I cant believe Jackie would do something so low

Now that we know what low means stooping to that level means to do something that is low You are basically lowering yourself to perform a bad or unfair task

Anger - Dialogues

A What happened to your car

B A tow truck was towing my car and put all those dents in my car

A Are they going to pay you for the damages

B Theyre saying it was already there

A What the hell That doesnt make sense What are you going to do

B I have to go to court A cop was there so he can prove that the damage

wasnt there

A That sucks Id be pissed if that happened to me

B I got an estimate and its four thousand dollars

A Oh my gosh Damn screw the court I would burn down their store

Anger

Anger

Different people react in different ways when they are angry In this lesson we will look at a variety of sentences people use when they are angry When someone is angry in the real world they use a lot of profanity or curse words Because of this fact this lesson will contain bad words

There are many ways a person can get angry Lets first look at the situation where it involved a different person

Im so pissed Roger just stabbed me in the back

What was he thinking I thought we were friends too

I dont know what Im going to do when I see him I found out that hes

been sleeping with my girlfriend

Matt is dating my ex-girlfriend Im pretty upset about that He knows I

still have feelings for her

Whenever I think about him I get pissed He treats his friends like crap

I cant believe he was talking behind my back Whenever he talks to me

he acts like were close friends

Matt borrowed my car and put a dent in it He claims he didnt do it Im

never trusting him again

I told Scott a secret and made sure he never tells anyone The next week I

heard it from three different people I was so pissed

Anger - UnderstandingThere are only a few things you need to say when someone is talking to you about anger The best thing to do is understand their feeling

I cant believe that happened Id be so pissed

I know how you feel I was so angry when that happened to me

I cant imagine how angry you must feel That has never happened to

me

If that happened to me Id get revenge

What are you going to do to get him back

That totally sucks but Im not surprised I always knew he was a back

stabber

The best thing to do is stop being his friend He doesnt deserve to

have any friends

Anger - ConfrontingWhen you are talking to the person that made you angry it is common to lose control and say a lot of things Here are some common sentences

I thought you were a friend I had so much trust in you I cant believe you did

this to me

What were you thinking when you stabbed me in the back Did it feel good

Whyd you do it

You know I still have feelings for Mandy You didnt even consider my feelings

What Am I not a friend or something

Youre not the only one hurting for money You owe me five hundred dollars I

need it now

You didnt have to tell my parents that I owed you money I said I would pay

you back when I got my paycheck I cant believe you would do this

Sentences you can ask or say if you feel a friend is angry with you

Are you mad at me

Are you angry

Youre not disappointed are you

Dont be angry with me I really didnt mean it

I didnt know you were involved I hope youre not mad at me

I really didnt know it was going to make you upset

Anger - OtherIf you make good friends you can avoid these types of scenarios However there are times when the situation was out of your control For example a friend of mine had to landscape his back yard for his house so he called a company to delivery a lot of top soil As the driver was driving back to the house he hit my friends house and damaged a pipeline The driver claimed it wasnt his fault and said he wouldnt pay for the damages When things like this happen we use the court system to get payment But my friend was so angry because they were not accepting fault Here are some of the things I heard

I was so pissed for a couple of weeks During that time I thought of twenty

different ways I could hurt his business

Im going to screw with him so much

In the end everything worked out They went to court and my friend won

There are a couple of other emotions that are similar to being angry Ill cover some of them here

Im so frustrated

Its so frustrating working with him

I was so frustrated I stopped caring about the outcome

He gets frustrated pretty easily

Its easy to get frustrated when things are not fair

Im not really mad just a little disappointed

That really hurt me Im so disappointed

Im really disappointed in you I didnt know you could stoop to that level

In boxing a low blow is a hit below the belt that is considered unfair The term low blow became widely used when someone did something unfair Here are some sentences to give you an idea

That was low

I cant believe Jackie would do something so low

Now that we know what low means stooping to that level means to do something that is low You are basically lowering yourself to perform a bad or unfair task

Anger - Dialogues

A What happened to your car

B A tow truck was towing my car and put all those dents in my car

A Are they going to pay you for the damages

B Theyre saying it was already there

wasnt there

Anger

Anger

Different people react in different ways when they are angry In this lesson we will look at a variety of sentences people use when they are angry When someone is angry in the real world they use a lot of profanity or curse words Because of this fact this lesson will contain bad words

There are many ways a person can get angry Lets first look at the situation where it involved a different person

Im so pissed Roger just stabbed me in the back

What was he thinking I thought we were friends too

I dont know what Im going to do when I see him I found out that hes

been sleeping with my girlfriend

Matt is dating my ex-girlfriend Im pretty upset about that He knows I

still have feelings for her

Whenever I think about him I get pissed He treats his friends like crap

I cant believe he was talking behind my back Whenever he talks to me

he acts like were close friends

Matt borrowed my car and put a dent in it He claims he didnt do it Im

never trusting him again

I told Scott a secret and made sure he never tells anyone The next week I

heard it from three different people I was so pissed

Anger - UnderstandingThere are only a few things you need to say when someone is talking to you about anger The best thing to do is understand their feeling

I cant believe that happened Id be so pissed

I know how you feel I was so angry when that happened to me

I cant imagine how angry you must feel That has never happened to

me

If that happened to me Id get revenge

What are you going to do to get him back

That totally sucks but Im not surprised I always knew he was a back

stabber

The best thing to do is stop being his friend He doesnt deserve to

have any friends

Anger - ConfrontingWhen you are talking to the person that made you angry it is common to lose control and say a lot of things Here are some common sentences

I thought you were a friend I had so much trust in you I cant believe you did

this to me

What were you thinking when you stabbed me in the back Did it feel good

Whyd you do it

You know I still have feelings for Mandy You didnt even consider my feelings

What Am I not a friend or something

Youre not the only one hurting for money You owe me five hundred dollars I

need it now

You didnt have to tell my parents that I owed you money I said I would pay

you back when I got my paycheck I cant believe you would do this

Sentences you can ask or say if you feel a friend is angry with you

Are you mad at me

Are you angry

Youre not disappointed are you

Dont be angry with me I really didnt mean it

I didnt know you were involved I hope youre not mad at me

I really didnt know it was going to make you upset

Anger - OtherIf you make good friends you can avoid these types of scenarios However there are times when the situation was out of your control For example a friend of mine had to landscape his back yard for his house so he called a company to delivery a lot of top soil As the driver was driving back to the house he hit my friends house and damaged a pipeline The driver claimed it wasnt his fault and said he wouldnt pay for the damages When things like this happen we use the court system to get payment But my friend was so angry because they were not accepting fault Here are some of the things I heard

I was so pissed for a couple of weeks During that time I thought of twenty

different ways I could hurt his business

Im going to screw with him so much

In the end everything worked out They went to court and my friend won

There are a couple of other emotions that are similar to being angry Ill cover some of them here

Im so frustrated

Its so frustrating working with him

I was so frustrated I stopped caring about the outcome

He gets frustrated pretty easily

Its easy to get frustrated when things are not fair

Im not really mad just a little disappointed

That really hurt me Im so disappointed

Im really disappointed in you I didnt know you could stoop to that level

In boxing a low blow is a hit below the belt that is considered unfair The term low blow became widely used when someone did something unfair Here are some sentences to give you an idea

That was low

I cant believe Jackie would do something so low

Now that we know what low means stooping to that level means to do something that is low You are basically lowering yourself to perform a bad or unfair task

Anger - Dialogues

A What happened to your car

B A tow truck was towing my car and put all those dents in my car

A Are they going to pay you for the damages

B Theyre saying it was already there

A What the hell That doesnt make sense What are you going to do

B I have to go to court A cop was there so he can prove that the damage

wasnt there

A That sucks Id be pissed if that happened to me

B I got an estimate and its four thousand dollars

A Oh my gosh Damn screw the court I would burn down their store

B Well see what happens after court

Anger

Anger

Different people react in different ways when they are angry In this lesson we will look at a variety of sentences people use when they are angry When someone is angry in the real world they use a lot of profanity or curse words Because of this fact this lesson will contain bad words

There are many ways a person can get angry Lets first look at the situation where it involved a different person

Im so pissed Roger just stabbed me in the back

What was he thinking I thought we were friends too

I dont know what Im going to do when I see him I found out that hes

been sleeping with my girlfriend

Matt is dating my ex-girlfriend Im pretty upset about that He knows I

still have feelings for her

Whenever I think about him I get pissed He treats his friends like crap

I cant believe he was talking behind my back Whenever he talks to me

he acts like were close friends

Matt borrowed my car and put a dent in it He claims he didnt do it Im

never trusting him again

I told Scott a secret and made sure he never tells anyone The next week I

heard it from three different people I was so pissed

Anger - UnderstandingThere are only a few things you need to say when someone is talking to you about anger The best thing to do is understand their feeling

I cant believe that happened Id be so pissed

I know how you feel I was so angry when that happened to me

I cant imagine how angry you must feel That has never happened to

me

If that happened to me Id get revenge

What are you going to do to get him back

That totally sucks but Im not surprised I always knew he was a back

stabber

The best thing to do is stop being his friend He doesnt deserve to

have any friends

Anger - ConfrontingWhen you are talking to the person that made you angry it is common to lose control and say a lot of things Here are some common sentences

I thought you were a friend I had so much trust in you I cant believe you did

this to me

What were you thinking when you stabbed me in the back Did it feel good

Whyd you do it

You know I still have feelings for Mandy You didnt even consider my feelings

What Am I not a friend or something

Youre not the only one hurting for money You owe me five hundred dollars I

need it now

You didnt have to tell my parents that I owed you money I said I would pay

you back when I got my paycheck I cant believe you would do this

Sentences you can ask or say if you feel a friend is angry with you

Are you mad at me

Are you angry

Youre not disappointed are you

Dont be angry with me I really didnt mean it

I didnt know you were involved I hope youre not mad at me

I really didnt know it was going to make you upset

Anger - OtherIf you make good friends you can avoid these types of scenarios However there are times when the situation was out of your control For example a friend of mine had to landscape his back yard for his house so he called a company to delivery a lot of top soil As the driver was driving back to the house he hit my friends house and damaged a pipeline The driver claimed it wasnt his fault and said he wouldnt pay for the damages When things like this happen we use the court system to get payment But my friend was so angry because they were not accepting fault Here are some of the things I heard

I was so pissed for a couple of weeks During that time I thought of twenty

different ways I could hurt his business

Im going to screw with him so much

In the end everything worked out They went to court and my friend won

There are a couple of other emotions that are similar to being angry Ill cover some of them here

Im so frustrated

Its so frustrating working with him

I was so frustrated I stopped caring about the outcome

He gets frustrated pretty easily

Its easy to get frustrated when things are not fair

Im not really mad just a little disappointed

That really hurt me Im so disappointed

Im really disappointed in you I didnt know you could stoop to that level

In boxing a low blow is a hit below the belt that is considered unfair The term low blow became widely used when someone did something unfair Here are some sentences to give you an idea

That was low

I cant believe Jackie would do something so low

Now that we know what low means stooping to that level means to do something that is low You are basically lowering yourself to perform a bad or unfair task

Anger - Dialogues

B A tow truck was towing my car and put all those dents in my car

Anger

Different people react in different ways when they are angry In this lesson we will look at a variety of sentences people use when they are angry When someone is angry in the real world they use a lot of profanity or curse words Because of this fact this lesson will contain bad words

There are many ways a person can get angry Lets first look at the situation where it involved a different person

Im so pissed Roger just stabbed me in the back

What was he thinking I thought we were friends too

I dont know what Im going to do when I see him I found out that hes

been sleeping with my girlfriend

Matt is dating my ex-girlfriend Im pretty upset about that He knows I

still have feelings for her

Whenever I think about him I get pissed He treats his friends like crap

I cant believe he was talking behind my back Whenever he talks to me

he acts like were close friends

Matt borrowed my car and put a dent in it He claims he didnt do it Im

never trusting him again

I told Scott a secret and made sure he never tells anyone The next week I

heard it from three different people I was so pissed

Anger - UnderstandingThere are only a few things you need to say when someone is talking to you about anger The best thing to do is understand their feeling

I cant believe that happened Id be so pissed

I know how you feel I was so angry when that happened to me

I cant imagine how angry you must feel That has never happened to

me

If that happened to me Id get revenge

What are you going to do to get him back

That totally sucks but Im not surprised I always knew he was a back

stabber

The best thing to do is stop being his friend He doesnt deserve to

have any friends

Anger - ConfrontingWhen you are talking to the person that made you angry it is common to lose control and say a lot of things Here are some common sentences

I thought you were a friend I had so much trust in you I cant believe you did

this to me

What were you thinking when you stabbed me in the back Did it feel good

Whyd you do it

You know I still have feelings for Mandy You didnt even consider my feelings

What Am I not a friend or something

Youre not the only one hurting for money You owe me five hundred dollars I

need it now

You didnt have to tell my parents that I owed you money I said I would pay

you back when I got my paycheck I cant believe you would do this

Sentences you can ask or say if you feel a friend is angry with you

Are you mad at me

Are you angry

Youre not disappointed are you

Dont be angry with me I really didnt mean it

I didnt know you were involved I hope youre not mad at me

I really didnt know it was going to make you upset

Anger - OtherIf you make good friends you can avoid these types of scenarios However there are times when the situation was out of your control For example a friend of mine had to landscape his back yard for his house so he called a company to delivery a lot of top soil As the driver was driving back to the house he hit my friends house and damaged a pipeline The driver claimed it wasnt his fault and said he wouldnt pay for the damages When things like this happen we use the court system to get payment But my friend was so angry because they were not accepting fault Here are some of the things I heard

I was so pissed for a couple of weeks During that time I thought of twenty

different ways I could hurt his business

Im going to screw with him so much

In the end everything worked out They went to court and my friend won

There are a couple of other emotions that are similar to being angry Ill cover some of them here

Im so frustrated

Its so frustrating working with him

I was so frustrated I stopped caring about the outcome

He gets frustrated pretty easily

Its easy to get frustrated when things are not fair

Im not really mad just a little disappointed

That really hurt me Im so disappointed

Im really disappointed in you I didnt know you could stoop to that level

In boxing a low blow is a hit below the belt that is considered unfair The term low blow became widely used when someone did something unfair Here are some sentences to give you an idea

That was low

I cant believe Jackie would do something so low

Now that we know what low means stooping to that level means to do something that is low You are basically lowering yourself to perform a bad or unfair task

Anger - Dialogues

A What happened to your car

B A tow truck was towing my car and put all those dents in my car

A Are they going to pay you for the damages

B Theyre saying it was already there

A What the hell That doesnt make sense What are you going to do

B I have to go to court A cop was there so he can prove that the damage

wasnt there

A That sucks Id be pissed if that happened to me

B I got an estimate and its four thousand dollars

Sometimes sadness can turn into anger For example when the US gets away with gold medals at the cost of Koreans or other countries its sad to see After the initial feeling it turns into anger

Korea lost the gold medal to the US It was so depressing

watching the US get away with another gold medalldquo

Im getting sick of watching Korea get screwed by the

Americans Its really discouraging

Sad or Depressed - Situational DepressionDepression is classified as a disease Many people suffer from depression and it is good to know how to say some sentences whether it is you or someone else

Situational depression

When someone first comes to the United States it is common to be depressed This is usually due to loneliness boredom or feeling sad because you miss your friends and family

I think Im depressed because I have nothing to do here

Im depressed because I dont have anything here

Im so lonely here I left all my friends to come here

>

Usually time heals these types of problems Sometimes whatever you say doesnt really help They know the problem but they cant control how they feel Regardless saying that you understand can show them that you care

It must be really tough leaving your friends and family behind

I have never experienced that but I imagine it must be really hard

Starting a new life someplace different is really hard Its normal to feel this

way I think youll get better with time

If you surround yourself with people you might find new friends

Why dont you go to church You can find peace there and even find great

friends

Americans Its really discouraging

Sad or Depressed - Situational DepressionDepression is classified as a disease Many people suffer from depression and it is good to know how to say some sentences whether it is you or someone else

I have never experienced that but I imagine it must be really hard

Starting a new life someplace different is really hard Its normal to feel this

way I think youll get better with time

If you surround yourself with people you might find new friends

Why dont you go to church You can find peace there and even find great

friends

friends

friends

Sometimes sadness can turn into anger For example when the US gets away with gold medals at the cost of Koreans or other countries its sad to see After the initial feeling it turns into anger

Korea lost the gold medal to the US It was so depressing

watching the US get away with another gold medalldquo

Americans Its really discouraging

Sad or Depressed - Situational DepressionDepression is classified as a disease Many people suffer from depression and it is good to know how to say some sentences whether it is you or someone else

Situational depression

When someone first comes to the United States it is common to be depressed This is usually due to loneliness boredom or feeling sad because you miss your friends and family

I think Im depressed because I have nothing to do here

Im depressed because I dont have anything here

Im so lonely here I left all my friends to come here

Usually time heals these types of problems Sometimes whatever you say doesnt really help They know the problem but they cant control how they feel Regardless saying that you understand can show them that you care

It must be really tough leaving your friends and family behind

I have never experienced that but I imagine it must be really hard

Starting a new life someplace different is really hard Its normal to feel this

way I think youll get better with time

If you surround yourself with people you might find new friends

Why dont you go to church You can find peace there and even find great

friends

I have never experienced that but I imagine it must be really hard

Starting a new life someplace different is really hard Its normal to feel this

friends

friends

Why dont you go to church You can find peace there and even find great

friends

friends

I wish my mom would stop saying how much she worries about me It doesnt

really help my situation

Why do parents always tell us that they are worried about us

If you werent such a screw up then your parents wouldnt have to worry

about you

Your parents only worry because they love you

Your mom only wants what is best for you Thats why shes worrying so

much

Your dad wants you to have a better life than his Thats why hes worrying

Finally when we get older it is common to worry about marriage and kids

Sometimes sadness can turn into anger For example when the US gets away with gold medals at the cost of Koreans or other countries its sad to see After the initial feeling it turns into anger

Korea lost the gold medal to the US It was so depressing

watching the US get away with another gold medalldquo

Im getting sick of watching Korea get screwed by the

Americans Its really discouraging

Sad or Depressed - Situational DepressionDepression is classified as a disease Many people suffer from depression and it is good to know how to say some sentences whether it is you or someone else

Situational depression

When someone first comes to the United States it is common to be depressed This is usually due to loneliness boredom or feeling sad because you miss your friends and family

I think Im depressed because I have nothing to do here

Im depressed because I dont have anything here

Im so lonely here I left all my friends to come here

Usually time heals these types of problems Sometimes whatever you say doesnt really help They know the problem but they cant control how they feel Regardless saying that you understand can show them that you care

It must be really tough leaving your friends and family behind

I have never experienced that but I imagine it must be really hard

Starting a new life someplace different is really hard Its normal to feel this

way I think youll get better with time

If you surround yourself with people you might find new friends

Why dont you go to church You can find peace there and even find great

friends

Sometimes sadness can turn into anger For example when the US gets away with gold medals at the cost of Koreans or other countries its sad to see After the initial feeling it turns into anger

Korea lost the gold medal to the US It was so depressing

watching the US get away with another gold medalldquo

Im getting sick of watching Korea get screwed by the

Americans Its really discouraging

Sad or Depressed - Situational DepressionDepression is classified as a disease Many people suffer from depression and it is good to know how to say some sentences whether it is you or someone else

Situational depression

When someone first comes to the United States it is common to be depressed This is usually due to loneliness boredom or feeling sad because you miss your friends and family

I think Im depressed because I have nothing to do here

Im depressed because I dont have anything here

Im so lonely here I left all my friends to come here

>

Usually time heals these types of problems Sometimes whatever you say doesnt really help They know the problem but they cant control how they feel Regardless saying that you understand can show them that you care

It must be really tough leaving your friends and family behind

I have never experienced that but I imagine it must be really hard

Starting a new life someplace different is really hard Its normal to feel this

way I think youll get better with time

If you surround yourself with people you might find new friends

Why dont you go to church You can find peace there and even find great

friends

Because there are so many things in the world that can make us sad it is hard to cover everything I can only cover the tip of the iceberg on this subject But feel free to ask any specific questions and we will let you know the proper sentence for your situation

Sometimes sadness can turn into anger For example when the US gets away with gold medals at the cost of Koreans or other countries its sad to see After the initial feeling it turns into anger

Korea lost the gold medal to the US It was so depressing

watching the US get away with another gold medalldquo

Im getting sick of watching Korea get screwed by the

Americans Its really discouraging

Sad or Depressed - Situational DepressionDepression is classified as a disease Many people suffer from depression and it is good to know how to say some sentences whether it is you or someone else

Situational depression

When someone first comes to the United States it is common to be depressed This is usually due to loneliness boredom or feeling sad because you miss your friends and family

I think Im depressed because I have nothing to do here

Im depressed because I dont have anything here

Im so lonely here I left all my friends to come here

>

Usually time heals these types of problems Sometimes whatever you say doesnt really help They know the problem but they cant control how they feel Regardless saying that you understand can show them that you care

It must be really tough leaving your friends and family behind

I have never experienced that but I imagine it must be really hard

Starting a new life someplace different is really hard Its normal to feel this

way I think youll get better with time

If you surround yourself with people you might find new friends

Why dont you go to church You can find peace there and even find great

friends

Sometimes sadness can turn into anger For example when the US gets away with gold medals at the cost of Koreans or other countries its sad to see After the initial feeling it turns into anger

watching the US get away with another gold medalldquo

Im getting sick of watching Korea get screwed by the

Americans Its really discouraging

Sad or Depressed - Situational DepressionDepression is classified as a disease Many people suffer from depression and it is good to know how to say some sentences whether it is you or someone else

I think Im depressed because I have nothing to do here

Im depressed because I dont have anything here

Usually time heals these types of problems Sometimes whatever you say doesnt really help They know the problem but they cant control how they feel Regardless saying that you understand can show them that you care

It must be really tough leaving your friends and family behind

I have never experienced that but I imagine it must be really hard

Starting a new life someplace different is really hard Its normal to feel this

way I think youll get better with time

If you surround yourself with people you might find new friends

Why dont you go to church You can find peace there and even find great

friends

Sad or Depressed - Situational DepressionDepression is classified as a disease Many people suffer from depression and it is good to know how to say some sentences whether it is you or someone else

It must be really tough leaving your friends and family behind

I have never experienced that but I imagine it must be really hard

Starting a new life someplace different is really hard Its normal to feel this

way I think youll get better with time

If you surround yourself with people you might find new friends

Why dont you go to church You can find peace there and even find great

friends
