Why I always become very angry about a silly thing?

generally, people get angry because they are frustrated about something or feel their not being listened to.

anger is something that you have recognised in yourself, which is good in a way, because it displays you’re unhappy with it, from there you can be more tolerant (I think tolerant is a better word than patience!)

are there particular times or people that trigger this anger? everyones gets angry, but life is about learning how to express that ‘anger’ as a more controlled reaction. the only way you can stop you getting angry, may be to sometimes remove yourself from a situation. this is, of course, not always possible. without a trigger it’s hard to distinguish what the best course of action is, counting to 10 etc is all well and good in theory, but in reality when someones going on at you, even the most patient of us will ‘loose it’ and this all comes down to the person your being angry at.

if it’s family, it’s very common to get angry with them, they often restrict your actions and life choices, which can be suppressing. and things suppressed don’t stay there for long, they may come out as displaced agression, whereby you take your anger out on something completely unrelated to the real problem.

theres an expression used in psychology; the dad hits the mum, the mum slaps the oldest son, the oldest son hits the little brother and the little brother kicks the dog. it’s about taking your anger out on something else, becuase you can’t do it to the thing your really angry about.

think environment and company and when you get angry. and always think, “what am I really angry about?”
