why do we get angry?? Answer is amazing!!!!

March 13, 2011 3:47pm CST
Have you ever think why we get angry? Many situations we will get angry right? My philosophy behind anger says "We are getting angry when we are not able to manage the situation" Yes it is right.You think of the situation you are getting angry.For example most of the infertile man/woman will be angry on their spouse.why?Because he/she cant manage the situation himself.One more example is when you are getting angry on your friend for making any mistakes.Here the mistake made by the friend is something which is impossible for us to manage. What do you think now?When ever we are about to get angry on others,Just think it out...Can't I manage this situation?Am I that much useless? then never you will get angry.Its my romise.!!!

When you actually think about it. I guess you are really right. But tell me about this, explain this for me. I have a certain time when i really just get angry over every little thing. Is it because I cant manage the situation? Also i remember once i started to get angry after taking some pills regularly and those pills cause me to nearly get into fight very easily, i even started to behave very antisocial? So do you think its because of the same reason why i get angry? I would really want to know. I understand what you are saying though, wont lie to that. Please remember to rate my response, i would really appreciate it. Thanks in return.

Hi Renhard You didnt mention the pillyou have taken.So that I cant comment on that with authority.And one more thing,the pill was given or adviced to you in a situation you were not able to manage something yourself right?(Even Paracetamol we will use when we can't(Our body can't) control the temperature right? And one more logic you were describing that you got angry on every little thing.(here also you were not able to describe the exact situation made you angry.) Hence what I said is kinda right...When ever it is not ossible to manage the situation,You will get angry.Not only you,but every one!!!

I guess you are right. I like to give trouble so I am going to give you another scenario and see how you manage it. What about if I want to get angry. Suppose i could have more than well handle the situation but i want to get angry so i can show down a certain person. Let i give an example. Say you this friend but he is turning more of an enemy to you now, but you still have feelings for him. You will try to hold in things from him not to hurt your feelings but if you are angry you know you will let them out. Suppose you want to let them out so you force to get angry. What then? Hope you understand what i am saying. And like I said before i love to play and give trouble. Dont love when the place boring.

Your intention is good and I appreciate you on that.My philosophy is not only on anger.you can see that in the following sentences. 1. Once a person is decided to be bad/Anti- social then no one including god cant change him from his aim. 2. A clap can be a clap only when both hands are together. Hope you understand what I said(It is kinda deep in meaning.Just think over it please.

I would probably agree with this, but I usually use the term, that I am out of control. I absolutely hate to be out of control and if I cannot control or as you say, manage a situation I act out in anger, although it may also be masking something like fear. Stopping to think is an excellent way to slow our anger and be better able to manage our situation.

We often react to the situation. I think it is not constructive. Rather we need to respond to the situation that contingent to our emotions.

Yes I think you might be right but also disappoinment, we often get angry just because of disappoinment of friends or of expectations...but I think you are right ..
13 Mar 11
yes we will get angry on friends.But my question is when??? Then you will get an answer that some situations or stuff run out of your control because of that friend.Am I wrong?

Before I got married, I am not a person who easily gets angry. Ever since we got married, I did not know why but there were lots of misunderstandings and both of us were arguing each other. Years passed, this year we're heavily concentrating on reducing the anger rate and try not to get angry easily. To be honest I improved mine but my wife gets a lot of improvement. If we don't improve ourselves, our child will suffer the most and will become a victim of unhappy childhood. When I get angry myself sometimes I could not control myself and I will not let even my wife to interrupt me while I am trying to calm down myself. I think this would be the ultimatum for both of us to show that we can improve ourselves and start to acknowledge each of our weaknesses.

Hi,I have not married,but I think I am the same as you.I am not a person who easily gets angry too,but I always be easiy angry with my boyfrinds.I didn't understand why. From your description,I decide to improve myself,try to calm down myself before I say something will hurt him.If one cant control himself,whatelse can he do?Just as the writer said,we aren't so useless! Let's improve ourself together,improve our life together.:)

Hmm, that's actually a very interesting concept? Where did you learn about that? Or is this what you've discovered out of your own observations? Definitely a good tidbit to chew on, and I'll keep that in mind the next time I get angry :-) Thanks, mate :-)
13 Mar 11
hi there It was really my observation on many situations and people.Definitly we wont get angry if it is there in our mind.A real fact it is!!!!Thanks a million on commenting on me.

From my own personal experience and observation to me why we get angry is simply because feelings get hurt and then pride. Once pride gets tainted then the anger rises. If we could somehow just take a simple deep breath and re-evaluate the issue in total before we react it would actually save from so much anger.
13 Mar 11
yes you are right! deep breathing will increase oxigenation to brain then we will think actively.hence we will get a solution to our problem!

Hi, I always try to control my emotion,try not to get angry. Some people said that don't easily get angry as we will get older when we get angry. I am not sure how true it is. But sometimes, it is just hard to control our emotion when we are not in good mood and something bad happened at the same time. I will just get angry and feel flare up,seem like wanna get explode. I believe everyone gets angry before,but it is a matter on how you are going to handle your anger.

Yes you're absolutely right. In my opinion we get angry when something's off, or should I say something is not going according to plan or didn't came as expected. And sometimes we get angry when someone did something awful to you. Right?

Ya I agree with you the people get angry in many situation and some person get angry in small situation. For example if a husband call her wife and say give me one glass of water and wife doing some another work and say wait 5 minutes then husband annoyed on her. But this situation is arise if a husband coming from his office and boss already anger on him then he is angry on her wife. This is not only arise due to not able to manage the situation but some peoples natures are such from childhood. They annoyed on their mother also even a small event. But I want suggest such type of person this is a dangerous for life so have patient and carry on with smile because life is very short.

It is a normal reaction but dangerous emotion because we cant suppress the anger feelings especially when we feel we are taking andvantage, therefore, there are those who kills because of the depth of anger that they feel.

we are geting angry for many reason like somebody teasing,irritating,in croud,in the local buses,and so on , but the reason for getting angry is our temprement, our heridity,and other common reasons,anger is a inbuilt character of all animal and a social animal as such a human, we get mostly irritated due to the jourky health conditions also, starvation also leads to the anger, human bieng mostly get angry to get the self actualisation need.

It is an interesting thing to reflect upon. You have come up with some creative suggestions. Yes, I do agree that necessity of managing the anger. We cant avoid anger; for emotions make us human. Managing the anger requires mastering over the mind. When we get angry we loose awareness of the self and the situation. The solution is not avoiding anger; rather we need to harness the creative potentials of the very emotional self through controlling the mind and situation.

Anger is a response to feelings of unhappiness which in turen arise whenever we meet unpleasant circumstances.the main reason we become angre is because we are faced with a situation we don't want to or like .everyday we encounter hundreds odf situations we don't like,from stubbing our toe or having a disagreement with our partenr.whenever we are prevented from fulfiling our wishes or forced into a situaton we dislike,in short we would rather avoid. our uncontrolled mind reacts by immediately feeling unhappy,this can easily turn in anger.

I know a lot of people getting angry for no reason at all. Some are too impatient. I sometimes admit that when I'm on a grocery and the line is too long and the cashier is too slow, I'm irritated really and I don't feel good about it.

Sometimes our emotions can get the better of us. Anger is an emotion that can spin out of control if it is not contained. Often when we are angry it is because things are not going our way or someone tells us that we are wrong. Angry emotions can come quickly but they dont seem to leave that way.

Basically yes, we got angry because we could not control the situation, but it does not apply in some cases. Often we got angry because some people make the same mistakes which so easy to correct. Or sometimes it is because some of what people said to us are the truth that we have been covering for long time.

I think seeing someone bully another, makes me want to kill the bullie cause I was bullied in Japan for a very long time because of racism, after a while I stand up against 30 girls! And they all got freaked out. My advice is, CONFRONT the bullies, they are not brave, they are cowards and choose their victims veery careful, but they didn't see what's coming to them.

It is a very intesting topic. Why do we get angry? If you are not angry with someone then you are angry with something. When you get angry with someone, he'she must be the one you care about. But if it is a thing that makes you angry, it must be the thing make you in a bad mood. It's only my personl opinion.
