Does anybody else have this problem?

[KJbushway]

No. I felt the same way as you when it came to me what i had done two minutes later. The only difference in the story is that me and him became friends after that.
We were more alike than different. I am not proud about getting into the fights I've gotten into. I have won all but the last one becuase I wasn't angry. I have never started the 4 fights I have been in, but I did finish 3 of them. (becuase of anger)

I rarely get angry although I have a lot I could feel angry about. I also rarely lose my temper -- people have often remarked on my seemingly never-ending patience. Unfortunately, I think this is in part because I turn my agression inwards.

 

[TEACAKE'S PLEATHER DOME]

I have a short fuse, if something really triggers me I will get immensely angry but it will blow over and usually is not expressed at all because I know I'm having an over reaction. I will rant about it in my mind and then it's over. This doesn't happen often, a few times a year. Sometimes I regret not reacting if I think of a really good cutting line to rip someone's head off with after the fact but because I know I'm over reacting I go into a freeze mode where I express nothing, lest I make an idiot of myself.

I'm also repulsed by people's anger, if someone was shaking in anger at ME I would never speak to them again and probably hate them. They would be cut from my life as loose cannons.

So, do you live a very charmed life? I can't think of anyone significant in my life who hasn't been very angry with me at one point or another.

Really? Why?

And no, people have little reason to get angry with me that I can tell. I have had angry people in my past though, years ago, hence my aversion.

I am anoyed by everything and everyone. I hate kids the most and when i'm around them I get real nervous. I get angry pretty easily and if I get really angry my hand starts shaking. When I do get pissed I ussually think of the unrational thing I want to do like bash someones head in, then I just calm down after about ten minutes. I don't really get angry at my friends, mostky my wife who is very capable of pushing my buttons. Other than that I just get anoyed at stupid people I see out in the world. I also have major anxiety issues and when people get too close to me when I'm feeling nervous, I want to hurt them becouse I get scared. I need therapy for sure, but I can't afford it.

I'm sure people on trekbbs can offer some helpful advice for you to control your anxiety.

I find devoting myself to forums an excellent relaxant.

Failing that, meditate on the words of Yoda.

[Sephiroth]

I live in a place where I feel disgust at the very air I breathe, the people around me absoutely drip with filth and stupidity, there isn't a one of them that I wouldn't push through a fine mesh screen, the fact that I haven't killed every single person within a 15 mile radius of my current location is a testament to my ability to control myself

 

[RJDiogenes]

I don't really get very angry at individuals most of the time. Certainly, there have been people who treated me badly and people treat each other badly all the time, but I view them with either contempt or pity rather than anger. Also, having a weird sense of humor helps.

The things that make me genuinely angry are matters of principle.

 

[John Clark]

To some extent. I tend to bottle it all up though (which isn't healthy) so when it does come out I can be very snappy.

I have calmed down since my younger years though

 

[Mary Ann]

My family is passive aggressive and can be verbally abusive. Up until I was 20 or so I had a very short fuse but rarely blew up in front of friends. I realised that I was getting angry at stupid little things that were beyond my control, so I made a conscious effort to calm down and, as the saying goes, not sweat the small stuff. Now I'm calmer than I've ever been. I still get angry about little things sometimes but I let them blow over and get on with life. As for big things pissing me off, I'm more proactive than I used to be, and make an effort to deal with them reasonably. I dislike physical violence but I have a sharp tongue which I need to keep in check. The few times I've let rip I've left people stunned, because they weren't expecting it.

They hate me for my freedom?

Various reasons; they were usually justified.

That's pretty much where I am, suffering.
