“I can see that you are angry” versus “I can see that you are upset.” Which one is better? Are they both the same thing? Would both work as well with an angry person? The answer is that one word can make the difference in your discussion. Many times angry people won’t admit that they are angry. If you say that you can see that they are angry, they will end up in a semantic battle with you regarding the definition of angry.
“I can see that you are angry”
“I’m not angry. Why would you think I am angry?”
“Well your mannerisms clearly show that you are angry.”
