I've gotten cussed at for doing things like stopping at a stop sign first, started going and the other driver who didn't have his blinker on started to go after I started going, stopped and yelled, "what the f*** are you doing!?"

Also work too... people are so unappreciative of the work I do get done, but if i mess up on one thing I get it

I get this all the time. When coming back from lunch during school I just cruise at around 30-35 mph when the speed limit is maybe 45. They curse, honk, drive crazy trying to get around me. I mean, we are all going to the same place, there is more than one way to get there, and people can't slow down and take in the day.

I try harder to keep my anger under control. Very rarely do I yell at someone about anything. Because usually the thing that we are angry over isn't worth the pain, and hurt feelings to yell and loose control over.

I sometimes have anger issues. I don't really get angry at people. I get angry at stupid/stressful circumstances, at things(not people) that don't work right. *coughelectronicscough*

I also can get quite angry when I play video games. Yeah, I know it's stupid and lame, but that's why I almost never play them anymore.

I can get perturbed when driving, but I don't cuss people out or yell or anything.

I tend to reserve it for those rare situations where it is appropriate. Yes, there are times it is the correct reaction. If you are worried about your anger levels perhaps a little anger management could help. I've seen it work wonders in people to manage their outlook.

One tip. If your anger ever gets to the point you are close to that snapping point, immediately physically remove yourself from the situation.

I'm afraid my anger is not caused only by conventional factors, and is mostly just plain irrational. It may come out of nowhere without any apparent reason or without anyone saying anything, and that's what I'm afraid of.

I personally have a very volatile nature.. and unfortunately it has resulted in quite a bit of destruction on my part.. either physically or mentally. Trouble is, it can be caused by simple things, such as a typical argument or people just crossing my paths with ill-intentions or simply unknowingly. However, as I read more books/articles/other material and ponder, I'm resolving to keep that temperament in check.. although I know its very arduous.. I think I'll get the better of it one day..

There's just too much to risk throwing away in a moment of enragement..
