Do you get angry easily?

[Insanity]

I tend to get angry pretty easily, although I don't show it 90% of the time but if I do people seem taken back by it. I've been told I have poor anger management skills, and was just curious if it's an INTP thing. So, do you get angry easily?

 

[Ermine]

I'm actually pretty easy going. I often don't get angry in the first place. I'm more annoyed and frustrated than anything. It seems I'm more sensitive to negative things in life that most people accept as normal. But when I do get outwardly angry, I'm a monster.

 

[Beat Mango]

Yep, especially recently, I've been getting irritated really easily. It's probably my first reaction to stress.

 

[didyouknow]

I don't get angry very often, though I suppose it's quite specific. I am more inclined to get angry at someone who I find selfish, greedy or arrogant. They wear down my tolerance in the first place so it's harder for me to stop myself from getting angry at them.

I'm very irritable and I take most things very personally, so it can lead to anger. I have anxiety and self-confidence problems which sometimes lead to anger. I don't show it most of the time in any way other than complaining a lot. Very rarely do I have any confrontation. I will, though, occasionally throw things. My cell phone is a good one.

I don't get angry easily outwardly and seem very patient. (And I am pretty open and give people space to grow and change.)

The problem is that if I just intellectualize everything for too long, I don't realize I'm actually sort of irked by how people behave sometimes (either irrationally or just like jerks)... and so the few times I used to get angry, I would utterly flip out (scream, yell, throw things, leave) because it had been building a long time.

I actually have needs, I realized, and even preferences, although I did not know what they were for a long time; and when they're not being met, eventually I get frustrated and lose it. For a long time, I only realized what these things were on the rare occasions when I flipped out.

Nowadays I let myself express irritation far earlier, it's better in the long run. It still feels weird and uncomfortable sometimes, though.

 

[Carnap]

Yes. I have a violent temper, especially with certain people. It comes out mostly when I think I am on the same page as someone, they say they agree with my principles and that I'm right, and then I find them practicing or not practicing what we had discussed, and what I hold so dear, and what is essential for me to fully respect someone.

It comes as a shock. Like 'what? you just listen to me talk? None of this is serious to you? just chatter?'

I have been known to smash stuff, scream, etc.



If it is someone less close to me, my anger comes out differently. Like yesterday my friend was saying philosophy was BS and I was pretentious. I just bottled it up then later sent an email defending myself.

She said she hated walking on eggshells, I said I hated her lack of basic tact.




I'm really hard to get along with sometimes. But most off, I can let things slide. I am super serious, is what puts people off more than my anger.




But, yeah, I can get angry, really angry.

There are very few things that can make me angry, even then it must be persistent and of malicious intent.

 

[saffyangelis]

I'm more likely to get annoyed rather than actually angry, and even on those few occasions that I get really mad, it's usually because of a series of events, and just one thing setting me off. That's the bit that tends to surprise people, me getting annoyed about one thing, and then dragging up what seems to them to be ancient history.

It also happens with things that I've been putting up with for a while and trying to ignore them if they annoy me, which doesn't help when I ask them to quit whatever it is they're doing, and they don't understand that I have been annoyed all this time.

Only when one of my principles are violated.

im gonna agree with this. im usually laid back, but i can get extremely pissed off at some things

 

[thetourist74]

It usually takes quite a bit to make me lose my temper, actually.

 

[Deleted member 1424]

I don't really get angry; mainly indignant and annoyed. I've a tendency to 'poke holes' verbally with people I find overbearing. I get angry with myself frequently; but I can only remember one instance when I ever truly got angry with someone else.

 

[Ghost1986]

i have a lot of anger and hatred in me. i stay calm and controlled on the out side but inside it like a volcano going off. its a wounder i haven't killed anyone yet.
