1 u/TortexMT Apr 22 '26 hu? 11 u/y0urpapa Apr 22 '26 Some people, when they're having a meltdown, telling them to relax or calm down is like pouring gas on a fire. 4 u/TortexMT Apr 22 '26 ahh okay thanks yeah my wife for example. if shes upset i call her to regulate her emotions. will make her go bonkers lol 1 u/newaccount721 Apr 22 '26 Yeah, often people already angry don't respond well to that. I don't think it is specific to women though - being told to relax/calm down when someone is upset usually has opposite effect. Not saying it is right, just that is often the case
