How angry do you get?

  I'm usually very hard to piss off, especially if you don't mean anything to mean (so, 99.99% of the world), but if you happen to push the right button I turn into such a b*tch.
  
  I have anger issues from my father, suppressed anger and there's also the fact anger is one of the few emotions I tend to fell like a normal person.
  Under the right circumstances, I'd probably beat someone to death if they pissed me off enough. Otherwise I either,
  
  1) ignore them.
  2) beat the crap out of them.
  3) dat emotional abuse.
  
  But I really try and hold back on the last 2 unless the person really deserves it. Even I have standards.

  The internet is the internet, so I'm more prone to anger (and being expressive about it) while on so. People online who know me, know that there are specific things that anger me that was brought up quite a few times over the years. Other than that, I'm mostly calm, trying to be collected in thoughts and words.
  
  I'm sure there are many people who I'm acquainted with (or people who just know me) who consider "Zid? Angry? Never. He's so calm and cool-headed in the face of provoking."
  
  In reality... I tend to hold back a lot more; bottle up on anger, frustration, etc. I do have a limit though, as always. That button that is hated to be push at. Still, I calm down fairly quickly compared to most people around me.

  I'm pretty much lax and calm most of the time but it's when people start annoying me that when I get mad.

  In the rare cases I do get really angry, I tend to keep to myself and be generally moody.
  
  This usually involves a lack of softness in my movement as well as a significant increase in walking speed (because I'm so pumped).
  
  
  I tend to remain calm towards fellow people though, albeit there is a very noticeable undertone of peevishness.
  
  I do harshly shove away the tomcat though if he jumps around me when I'm angry. I also lightly hit the monitor a few times when the PC doesn't work properly.

  When i'm angry, it's pretty bad. I think it's less anger and more frustration. If i'm angry in a conversation with somebody, i'm not listening to what they're saying and i'll mostly yell hurtful nonsense at them and say things like "look, you're not listening to me, you just don't care about what I have to say" or "talking to you is pointless, because nothing is going to change and nothing is going to happen" or "what's the point in this? Everything I say to you is useless. You just don't care."
  Then usually I cry because i'm frustrated and i'm pretty much a wreck.

  Showing anger is usually a sign of stupidity, so I tend to avoid it.
  And it's pretty hard to piss me off, so it's not like it's hard for me to do that. xd

  I don't show my anger when I'm feeling angry. I just vent it to my friend in privately then I'd feel better.

  I rarely get angry, so when I do it's usually because it's really serious.
  
  In instances like that, I just explode. I hate getting angry.

  I don't like it when you generalize like that.
  
  Showing anger is a completely normal, human feeling.

  I generalize whenever there is enough information to base it on--I don't just do it randomly. It's the efficient and logical thing to do!
  
  Being stupid is also "completely normal and human" if you take a look at human behaviour, but that doesn't make it desirable. Intelligence is what separates civilized people from savages, and plays a part in determining how well one controls their emotions.

  Not emotionless at all. D: Just high EQ, or at least that's what I'd like to think.

  Haha, I don't think about it too much like that.
  
  Being sad or angry or happy or jealous or excited, it happens. Not dumb, IMO.
  
  Ah, but I accept your view on it.
• Cucurbita wrote on 2011-10-27 04:58
  I agree with Yoorah in that taking in information, processing them, and trying to comprehend them can really calm a person down and prevent emotional outbursts such as anger.
  
  But at the same time, Phunkie has a big point.
  
  Expressing is a really human thing. I try to zen out my emotions, but the experience of even negative emotions can be a joyful part of life.
  
  The internet does tend to be a place for me to vent those emotions though, as I really am a mellowed out person in real life.

  Anger is probably one of the best motivating tools at a person's disposal, especially for parents and bosses. Anger can be controlled and used effectively, so showing it is neither wrong nor stupid, but the way it is expressed can be wrong and/or stupid.
  
  I haven't expressed anger in the way it's usually typified for a long time; I usually just voice my displeasure without raising my voice. If I get angry, it's probably because someone shortchanged me.

  It takes a lot to piss me off. Generally annoying things right after each other piss me off pretty easily. Quick smoke break fixes that though (I don't support that idea though).
  
  Like today, zoning in seasonal was a disaster. It was incredibly busy over there and people kept coming through and picking stuff up then placing it wherever the hell they felt like, so me trying to clean the place up goes over and picks it up and places it in my basket of random ****, and then they apologize for doing it, which started pissing me off. Then I had to go clear the parking lot cause at this point I was already late for lunch, and then I was super pissed cause I absolutely hate the closing csm and she was gonna be here when I was back from lunch.

  >: I'm a pretty emotional guy, that might make me dumb or whatever but I get pretty angry/sad/happy really easily, it's like I get mood swings or something.
  
  It's really easily to make me angry if I care about you, my boyfriend makes me angry real easily when it's not his fault, I'm just over analyzing, being paranoid, or to put it simply, just being myself. It starts of with frustration and me not expressing how I truly feel, I change my tone hoping they'll notice I'm getting angry, using heavy sarcasm or ignoring them, then I start yelling talking real loud, and of it escalates even more I'll get physical. I remember throwing a vase when I was kid, it was a bad temper tantrum. .
  
  Then being angry will usually make me feel sad, and yeah, then I'll feel sad and all. Really, I feel like I'm PMSing most of the time. x_____x;
