How often do you get angry and do you show it?

[®ª†]

My friend mentioned last night that I never seem peeved. The only time she has seen me "angry" was a few months ago when I got kicked out of my parents house. When I was living at home, I was always fighting with my parents and therefore, always angry with them (I would never let that show when I was out of the house though). I guess I have good coping skills since I never let my frustrations show (my bosses appreciate this).

It usually takes alot to get me pissed but my parents are the only people who have seen me when I'm annoyed/pissed/whatever.

How short is your fuse and how do you deal with people when you're angry?

I'm usually pretty good about lashing out also, unless I think the person genuinely tries to hurt me in some way. Usually it's verbal ownage, and I haven't been in a fist-fight in a long time.

i wear my anger on my sleeve.....it's basically impossible for me to hide.

One thing though ... I'm a little grumpy in the morning but after my coffee, I become normal.

daily, but not too much

grumpy and angry are different. I'm grumpy often but I don't snap at people that haven't done anything to me.

 

[hardrock]

A little more than normal lately. Combo of cycle, diet and quitting smoking weed is probably a big part of it. I hear ya about the parents bit tho. My mom can make me more angry than just about anyone. Except my ex of coarse. Otherwise I show it, but rarely yell.

 

[gonelifting]

Never really, Once a dude called my wife a "fucking bitch" and I (almost) lost it. He almost ran over his wife with his car trying to get way from me. lol

 

[HUCKLEBERRY FINNaplex]

Just lost it on a Highway Patrol officer a few days ago.Sumbitch pulled me over for a seatbelt violation a half block away from my house and was a total fucking power tripping shitbag.As he was sitting back behind me writing me out a ticket,my blood starts boiling.He gets up to my car with his smug ass look on his face and I just went off.Told him what a collossul waste of fucking taxpayer money he and his bullshit were,how he wouldn't have a fucking job if it weren't for folks like me getting bent over for state taxes, and that I bet he was real proud of himself for following me and writing me up for such a bullshit,nonsensical thing.Needless to say,he wasn't too thrilled with my attitude.Oh fucking well.Jack-ass has nothing better to do on his shift,what with hit and runs,reckless driving,auto accidents,DUI's.

But the moral of the story is,I just about had my ass spending a night in lock-up for losing it.Bad Huckster,bad.

I have a much shorter fuse than I used to. But to truly get me mad, it takes a lot. I don't show anger all that much either. I show hurt like no one's business, but anger I can hide much better.

yeah ... my friend said that she's seen more tears on my face than an angry look for as long as she's known me (which has been about 10 years).


yeah ... I'm secure enough to let a few tears drop once in a while

 

[Lift Chief]

I don't show much emotion.

 

[danielson]

people can tell when im annoyed or not happy with anything, it shows in my body language and my eyes



but no-one ive met in the last 4-5 years has seen me REALLY angry...some dickhead injured me really bad when we were just practising technique in a martial arts class after he had gone OTT twice before...its the closest i;ve been to losing it in a while as he had the gaul to bow to me after doing it and the prior ones (he was a junior and ima senior but even a monkey would respond to being told 'not too hard')

anyway i walked off rather than lose it and now i have a small finger nail sized scar on my forehead, didnt lose it but he could tell i wasn't happy

Good for you.

 

[vinylgroover]

The only thing that makes my shit hang sideways is people who have no control over their anger.

 

[sh4dowf4lcon]

I rarely lose my cool. I tend to be over the top when I do lose my cool. It seems to me I only "lose my cool" when someone is disrespectful of ladies or elderly or both. About six months ago when I was leaving Fry's Electronics I had this thing. A kid about 19-20 brushed into me as he hurried by me and an elderly lady who was having trouble moving her cart. He was just a total ass about this old lady going slow. I just said,"you need some manners punk", he walked back towards me and for a second I thought we were going to rock and roll. I mean he was walking towards me, so I dropped my bags and as we got closer he says, "my bad" and then he turned and left.

I was ready to box lol. I am too old for that type of stuff!! Ah the good ol days!

I think it comes out in the form of metal piercing through my face and neck, and that consistent glaze in my eye. I let alot of things slip by, but more and more my hostility is coming to the surface in many forms. Im real nasty to people lately. haha Maybe Ill be somewhat more stable when this injury resides and I can vent again, somewhat. I feel as though Im ready to rip skin off anyone at any moment. Im never stable in any one emotion, so people that Ive been nice too, I can snap on them the next second. Ready to eat them alive literally. Ive spent hours, days and years visualizing these things. Forms of torture and satisfying that urge to mutilate and punish those whove wronged me. Possibly anyone who looks at me. Its a delicate balance. I have a good heart also, but it bleeds poison. Skittles....Taste the Rainbow

BEAST, If I can ask you, why do you think you are like this?

An aside, next time you get pierced, do your nipples, that shit will put your anger and pain over the top.

 

[Smurfy]

I don't show much emotion.

Ditto. This is somewhat of a defense mechanism you know. Makes difficult situations easier to handle by subconsciously supressing your feelings.

I tend to only show my anger around those who are close to me. I have a shorter fuse with them as opposed to those who i am not close with. Basically i just try not to let things bother me but i do get annoyed by things easily i just dont show it. I try to keep a level head most of the time.

 

[SoKlueles]

I show hurt more than i show anger...although i told a woman off at work.the hooker annoys me....but when i do get mad....i say things to try to hurt them...and i get pretty mean

Most of it has to do with diet.

 

[FreeballinDC]

That must be one hella diet. Is it what you eat, or what you crave, but don't eat?

 

[theoak01]

I have a very short fuse,but I am also very controlled and dont act upon it,I just stew inside and shut everyone out until I deal with the issue myself

 

[Becoming]

Not really very often, but there are a few very definite buttons which cause me to loose it.... I generally have a really long fuse, but once it is lit it is tough to turn back....

 

[WalkingBeast]

Bad eating habits really. Ive always believed that there was some truth to the statement "You are what you eat". When Im eating an old lady as a midnight snack, I feel so fucking angry. That old bitch's weaknesses are creeping into my bloodstream. Making me weak. Ive always hated food, and have had a hatred for the foods I eat. I cannot chew and swallow something I dont truly hate. Really its all about eating the "right" foods though. And eating "clean". Clean eating means no mixing of the races between meals. Eating the right foods means balancing out the days meals. I eat lots of bone for calcium, liver and kidneys for protein and other nutrients, intestines have all types of nutrients also. I like to suck on eyeballs for a while before I swallow them. Vegetables are unecessary. Save your best material for the rooftop show.

 

[MissJanet79]

I'm hispanic... I fall into the "latin temper" stereotype! LOL...

 

[Dieharder]

my friends' nickname for me is "hostile" thats all they call me, i get angry easily, but not dont really lash out unless its on the heavy bag at the gym

I rarely get angry, and most situations like that I just joke about. Sometimes people have commented to me or my wife how I seem very level headed - also people comment about how level headed and calm my children are. However when I lived at home with my parents (decades ago - I am 42) I was always pissed. My mom is a cross between Raymond Barrones (Everybody loves Raymond) mom, George Costanzas (Seinfeld) mom and just any plain psycho. I was always cool around my friends at school back then and at school. But in the neighborhood I grew up in I was known as always being angry - my mom pushed my buttons like nobodies business. We often had screaming matches I am sure the neighbors heard.

They are coming to visit next month and my wife and I know already there will be a blow up and a fight - its like there is no way around it. Its like my mom does not feel alive unless she is causing pain or in a argument - she will make the week a fight. That is why I now live 2000 miles from where I grew up - so I can see my parents as little as possible. When my mom dies I will be sad, but I believe in many ways my life (and my dad's) will be better. My mom, especially in the last year has been in peak performance for being mean, vile and evil mouthed.

My sister in law has called me several times in the past year about some really wicked scenes my mom has caused. Example. My uncle died a few months ago. my sister in law called my cousin to see if she could help, and offered to cook some food. My cousin took her up on the offer and my sister in law made some food. At the funeral...at the very funeral itself, my mom gets in a screaming fight with my cousin and my aunt, making them cry , about what a lazy worthless child my cousin is for letting my sister in law make food for them and that my cousin ought to "get off her lazy ass" and make the food herself. It turned out to be this big fight that left my aunt and my cousin crying right in front of my uncles casket. can you imagine?

At my wedding, my parents offered to drive my inlaws to the reception. My inlaws lived nearby so they declined but my parents kept offering- to be nice. So finally my inlaws agreed to ride with my parents. Of course my parents show up early...my inlaws aren't quite ready and my mom throws this big temper tantrum forcing my inlaws to hustle into the car before they are ready. They got there like 45 minutes early, after making my inlaws feel like they were irresponsible. My parents, my mom mostly, create situations that are meant to tear down others and create contention.

My mom is my mom so there is always going to be this link and some sort of love, but that woman made me miserable every single day of my life until I moved out and still finds a way to often ruin an otherwise good day. She would pick a fight just before I went on a date, or to a party - she seemed to time it so that it would be the worst for you.


I can relate to you about parents making you act like an entirely different person than you are the other 99% of your life. SOme parents are just like that - they are the greatest thing to happen to you and the worst thing all at the same time.
