About This Quote
If someone is yelling at you, they are not loving you. They may be trying to control you. They may be expressing frustration toward you. They may be trying to influence your behavior.
But they are not communicating love, they are threatening you. When people yell at us, it's because they want to get their point across and for us to understand their message. They don't care if we understand them or not.
