How can I help stop myself becoming so angered by everything around me?

There is so much in the world and in my life that makes me angry. I just don’t know what to do about it. Everywhere I look in newspapers, on TV, on the internet I find something that just frustrates me so intensely.

I really don’t understand how people can go through life not getting angry at everything in the world, all the injustices, unfairness, discrimination and hatred. I can’t see myself just blocking these things out and ignoring them, to me that feels like I’m not caring or being ignorant.

Everything I see and hear affects me and I really don’t know how to change this. I know I’m a sensitive person with a relatively thin shell, I’m trying to change this but it’s really hard. Maybe I’m too young and immature to deal with it (At least that’s what my dad tells me), I’m not sure.

Any advice how you can go through life each day and not feel like you’re going to explode with anger?
