re: Do you know someone with serious anger issues?

I have anger issues. When I get frustrated I tend to lose my cool and blow up from time to time. Have gotten much better with it over the years. Haven't broken my hand punching a wall or some other inanimate object in like 5 years.
I don't go to therapy or take meds. I just look back every time it happens and try to figure out what was really bothering me. I tend to apologize to my wife a lot because even if she caused it, she doesn't deserve to be the collateral damage of my shortcomings.
5 years ago, I blew up once a week, now a days it is every 3-4 months I guess. Get better every time.

I've got my own temper issues. I always knew it. And I'm not really as bad as some of the stuff people are describing. I won't cause a fight or anything. Not going to chase a car down for road rage. But I'll hit my steering wheel and curse. Or throw the remote control during an LSU game. Now that I have a son, it's something I'm trying to be more cautious of. First, because of the cursing. Second, because it's just a bad example and I know I got my temper from my dad, and he got it from my grandpa. It's noticeable.
That's kind of how I am. Never gotten in a fight or really considered it. Don't really shite talk people in public. The biggest problem is alcohol, which makes these issues come to the surface. Last year I never went in a rage over sports, but the past few years, absolutely, so I guess I'm improving in that regard.
My immediate family all have bad tempers. My uncles, aunts, and grandmother tell us when we go on a rage we become intolerable. Surprisingly I'd say I'm the calmest of the 4, which is really saying something. I'm guessing I fed off of it, since I didn't have anger issues in high school. I think I'm handling my anger better now than this time last year, I just need to develop a bit more of a filter on here as I have in my personal life.

America is an amazing place. You actually have the ability to walk away.
Very simple.

My younger self had a bit of an anger issue. It came from being bullied by my older brother as a kid. I grew up hating bullies, so if I ever felt bullied I would melt down. I even had a reoccurring nightmare where I would throw a punch, leading to many awkward moments. I think the dreams helped me work it out.
I see anger as an expression of ego now. It's the opposite of wisdom. I have a buddy who is in a constant rage about things. I can't believe the simple things he doesn't understand. People can pretty much do or say anything to me IRL, and IDGAF. That comes with age.

I've always had anger issues. I've pretty much learned to control it but it's always there bubbling below the surface.
I've heard this. I read something a while back written by a guy with anger issues. He has been in therapy for years and has been able to control it, but he said that doesn't stop him from feeling it. He is constantly miserable because of it.
He slipped and snapped at his pregnant wife. Said a lot of horrible things to her and felt awful for it. Right back to therapy he went.
I don't know that I could stick by someone like that. Too scary. But at the very least, if someone has anger/rage issues, I would expect them to be in therapy and constantly working on it. I used to hang around someone who would get offended/angry over shite I'd say and I've be left so confused as to what on earth I did.
It later came out that the person has struggled with anger issues their whole life.... and the simple fact that they knew it was there and knew it was affecting others and they did nothing about it was really disheartening for me.

Everyone knows me now as a kind and loving person but I haven't always been that way. I've never been to therapy but I've learned to take a step back and breathe. I still don't have much tolerance for bullshite but I don't blow up on people anymore. It's still there but it's under tight control.

Operator at a plant I used to work at - good guy at heart. Just always pissed off and screaming about something- felt sorry for him. Has had two heart attacks - I don't know if it was the anger stuff or poor diet/cigarettes etc
