Managing emotions is a lifelong task whether in close relationships or with acquaintances at work, church, or in rush hour traffic. Managing frustration caused by stressful situations points to relationship issues that need productive change.
The majority of people manage emotions by taking ownership of situations that have resulted in conflict and hurt feelings. However some people refuse to express their thoughts and feelings in ways that can help dissipate the harmful effects of their fear and anger.
While it may seem impossible to trust others with your fear, anger, and guilt, God will provide safe opportunities to do so. He also provides the courage to seek forgiveness. Acknowledging what you feel and think through confession leads to forgiveness. Jesus will provide what you need when the time is right to seek others out to make things right.
Then you will have peace of mind.

Therefore,
since we have so great a cloud of witnesses surrounding us, let us also lay aside
every encumbrance and the sin which so easily entangles us, and let us run with
endurance the race that is set before us.
~Hebrews
12:1-2 New American Standard Bible
