Do you think you have anger issues? If so why?

Question

How easy is it for you to get angry? And does it happen often? Is it because of past unresolved issues or is it simply that you're an impatient person?

I used to. It was pretty intense. But I never acted out on it. Growing up Christian and ultimately wanting the best for people helped me to bridle it and gave me the chance to self reflect and pick whether I wanted to make anger a lifestyle or mentality or a consistent part of me or my choices, OR if I wanted an alternative.

I chose alternative. It was good for a time and then I kind of became numb. I’m smoothing things out now and deciding whether I wanted to confront others when they’re wrong or pay literally no piece of my mind to it. It’s still tough and something still deciding. It varies, so bit of a balance, but for the anger… that’s pretty much not an issue anymore. I knew the end of my anger unhinged was jail and a life out of my control. I like to make independent choices and live without regrets. The things people do or say towards me is their issue. I don’t seek out “righteous” vendettas or anything like that. But sometimes I’ll correct someone on little things.

You’d have to ask the folks on gag if I have anger issues… I say “not unless provoked by idiotic questions” (which I think covers all the bases for me). I do get verbally crabby when I encounter outright stupidity where super basic common sense should be applied. But it’s measured out with a good and prayerful heart and very solid moral compass, so… I’m good.

Growing up people accused me of having them and I believed them, because why wouldn’t I

But when I moved away I met new people and they didn’t see anger issues just a passionate person who loves competition and a challenge

Then coming home I see all the people I knew still accusing me for having anger issues even today

So it’s making me think:
Did I ever have them? Or were they wrong about me all along?

Hard to tell.

But I no longer believe I have anger issues.
I’m well balanced and collected even in heated moments
I use my anger a tool

I used to. In the sense that i still have to actively manage angry impulses, it can be said that i still have issues. However, it’s not the same. I used to be angry pretty much all of the time while merely hiding it. Giving in to certain triggers got me into a lot of trouble. I hurt people. I got hurt. I destroyed property and relationships. I went to jail. I really couldn’t be trusted. I was the first to ruin an otherwise good time, and nobody likes that person.
It took a lot of work to get where i am now. I don’t know if i’ll ever lose my kool again. If i do, it’ll be a doozy!

HawkPerception · Answer

My mom used to say I had anger issues, but she was the only one I ever got annoyed with growing up and even so, it was very rarely. I've gotten genuinely angry probably less than 50-100 times in my whole life... or at least that's my estimate.

Simslover92 · Answer

I tend not to get angry most of the time. It's hard for me to because I am such a calm person.

LiaRaven · Answer

I don’t know if I have them but I would be very angry with someone I care about sometimes lol

Babygirl_S · Answer

No, I get angry only when they overstep my boundaries. Some things are simply unacceptable because I’m a human with feelings. Basic human decency is an absolute necessity for me. I usually stay calm unless someone is just straight up gross. It’s important to get angry in those situations to protect who you really are. It’s great to submit to a man, for example, but if he humiliates me and thus encourages sharing of that submission, I need to spit hellfire to protect the very essence of my being. I am not going to everything that EVERYONE says. If he’s not dominating enough to shield me from that type of attacks, he should step aside and let a real man handle it. Maybe learn from him instead of sulking?

Purpleronnie · Answer

I would say there are “areas” where I’m quick to show my distaste or frustration but that’s not anger it’s more passion for change or better.

More occasions than not I will find myself walking away from conflict realizing more that I cannot fix “stupid” and there is no reasoning with “madness” choosing to laugh it off knowing that I simply cannot suffer fools

7Phoenix7 · Answer

No I dont have anger issues. I've never had anger issues. My problem was being too nice... and always putting others happiness before my own.

Also forgiving so much, but bottling the pain... so one day it'd all come out... and that one particular day after months and months of holding everything in.. I looked like I had anger issues lol.

Levin · Answer

It sort of varies.

I'm mostly chill and certain people don't believe I can lose my temper.

But I can erupt, haha. And I have been a bit snappy recently. There's been a lot of pressure at work. And I'm also tired of having my boundaries trampled across, so I'm sending the message that it's not okay.

alice55 · Answer

I don't, I used to a bit when I was very young, I used to bottle up all my feeling because it was badly seen to express my feeling people would say I was. drama queen then it made me explode for things as stupid as my parents telling to go a size down for my clothes.

SotiCoto · Answer

Not especially. Most of the time I'm just tired of existence. Things that might anger other people usually just make me sigh and roll my eyes.
There are a small few specific things that make me angry, but I know better than to share them in public.

DeeDeeDeVour · Answer

Not really  "anger"  issues but more like the occasional disappointment issues.  My faith in humanity is largely waning and it is people that I'm disappointed about.

Ironco · Answer

I'm pretty calm and in a good giving mood. Every once in a while I'll loose my cool. Then I'm a real fucking asshole.

It now takes a lot to get me angry, I've learned to not get angry anymore. In my younger days it got me in a boat load of trouble. But that's a whole different story.

So now I just take the hits and just keep calm.

NoDecision · Answer

Not me, unless one of my girls drops one of my cakes, and then she gets the ducking stool! Does that mean I'm angry with her?

Caroline91 · Answer

Not at all. I have a very long fuse. But once it gets there, you're gonna know it. What I don't do is name call or hurl insults. And I find there is mostly one thing that consistently makes me angry. Injustice... from anyone to anyone.

Flower7 · Answer

Yes because people never listen to me. This can lead to me losing my temper when I’m trying to tell them to leave me alone and they ignore my words.

MemeSupreme · Answer

kinda bc i barely get any sleep so im just prone to it, but its certain like triggers that really set me off like loud sudden noises (fuck you motorcyclists)

Shiprex · Answer

I get way too angry at myself but am saintly patient with others.

How often depends on the amount of stress I put on myself. Should I work on it? Of course and I do try to be more conscious of my mindset.

FreyaRed · Answer

I never get angry and if I do it's just show. Few seconds long anger impulses I'm getting rarely do rather paralyze me than they are some kind of motivation to do something.

DannyUk2017 · Answer

I'm more patient fixing computers and fiddling with something complicated, rather than dealing with a human being!

Nikki1989 · Answer

I am rarely angry and tend to laugh at those that are, which doesn't help situations, but it is what it is.

Smashingdoozy · Answer

I think I've done a pretty good job of regulating my emotions

fonduegirl · Answer

Not much. I get irritated sometimes, so I put some distance between me and the trigger. I cry it out.

exitseven · Answer

AngryCarl2 · Answer

I've only ever had anger issues when I was on some weird prescription medication. I think if you commit murder while medicated the prescribing doctor should serve your sentence.

Emmytexrex · Answer

I often check what makes me angry before I say anything constructively  I just don't get angry without understanding if it is worth it and that's what I call emotional intelligence

Paul09 · Answer

I used to be very stressed out and anger in my younger days. In less angry and have more control over it. But the rotten people in the world make it hard to not get angry
