How do you know if you have anger issues?

My father has an anger problem and it made much of my childhood miserable. I spent most of my time at home walking on eggshells.

I would say that the signs you have a problem are as follows:

- You've hit people or gotten into fights.
- You find yourself thinking violent thoughts about a person.
- You get aggressive with the people around you, even in ways that don't cause significant bodily harm. I mean things like shoving people out of your way, pulling hair, pinching.
- You break things, throw things, or dump things out when you get angry.
- You yell often.
- When you do yell, you can't stop.
- You say things you regret later when you get angry.
- You find yourself needing to apologize for things you did when you were angry.
- People around you regularly ask if you're angry. (This is a sign that they're scared of you becoming angry).
- People tell you that you have a temper.
- People who know you well flinch away from you when you get mad.
- You honk your horn or swear a lot at other drivers when you're driving.
- You take your anger out on animals. (My dad used to kick our dog, even after he stopped hitting us).
- When a minor inconvenience occurs, you carry the anger with you all day, and take it out on other people.

When I first moved out of the house, I refused to even let myself feel anger, because I had only ever seen it as a source of violence. I suppressed it, and it's taken a long time for me to work through that.

It's okay to feel anger. There's a reason that the emotion exists. It helps us recognize when an injustice is being done. The problem is when you end up hurting people. If you take your anger out on people who didn't do anything wrong, or when your reaction to a wrongdoing exceeds the initial wrongdoing, it's a problem. And if you carry it around all day to the point where you can't feel joy, it's a problem. But if you get angry when someone does something bad to you, and the anger is proportionate to what is being done, and directed at the right place, that's completely fine. It's healthy, in fact.

I wish I had anger Issues
I Have been so Dehumanized so Desensitized from emotions that I can’t even get angry.
Anger used to be something that made me feel powerful I would get angry at the smallest of things.
Some other Student would tap his pencil and that would Anger me
I am also Psychopathic But back then I could get angry now I’ve lost my ability to get angry
So my psychopathic level is Decreased a A ton.
I don’t know how to get angry 😡
I know emotions Is caused by Thinking and is also Rooted in the subconscious mind which is why some emotions are Automatically.
But I don’t know how to think myself to get angry and My subconscious isn’t Programmed to have emotions I got rid of my emotions a long ass time ago.
The first time I lacked all emotions accept for Hate and Anger was when I Got Drunk because my Family forced me to get Drunk
They were the abusive type
When I got Drunk I tried to Beat my dad up And I yelled at him and told him how much I hate him and how much I Don’t give a Shit about him.
I went to sleep eventually and I woke up and Had emotions again
I was Guilty And Depressed for what I tried to do and what I did and said. But Being drunk was the first time I ever Lacked all emotions accept hate and anger.
I have become That Drunk without The Anger I don’t have emotions not even anger I hate but it’s not tied to any emotions it’s just a feeling just when I hate something I know.
