Why do we get angry?

People get angry due to a process known as psychological projection. The human being has a defense mechanism that makes it easy to bury and forget painful and unresolved issues from the past. When there are any forms of non-harmonious feelings, we can almost always trace it back to projection.

Then good news: It's easy to cure by yourself, without a doctor, without medication, without years of therapy, or lifetimes of meditation.

It costs nothing. All you do is list the people who you have been angry with or hurt by or judging of or any person who causes you stress when you think about them.

Step 2: You write down exactly how you feel about them and how you think they SHOULD be.

Step 3: You ask the evaluation questions:

  1. Is it true? (Yes or no. If no, move to 3.)
  2. Can you absolutely know that it's true? (Yes or no.)
  3. How do you react, what happens, when you believe that thought?
  4. Who would you be without the thought?

4. You turn it all around and find yourself free of that particular unconscious behavior for the rest of your life.

Caution: This method is only for those who are willing to take full responsibility for what is happening in their lives, bodies, and minds. If you aren't willing to do this, then that is the same as saying "I'm actually quite happy to continue projecting and blaming the whole world rather than growing up."

Occasional anger, directed to productive means can be acceptable; however the key is to recognize wasteful useless anger and stop it before it starts.

Generally it has to do with the levels of certain chemicals and hormones in the body and in the brain. Sometimes is can be a small thing that sets a person off on a rant or wrath while most people can brush it off or look past it. This is because the mind gets over-excited and carries out the emotion of anger further than it should be and goes beyond the normal limits of logic and reasoning.

There are some emotional disorders that include sudden rage as components. By far the most common source is a huge backlog of repressed anger, often related to abuse as a child and adolescent, that is triggered by alcohol, other drugs, or stress.

Anger issues can be treated. There is no reason for anyone -- the presenting party or those around him/her -- to have to live under such conditions. If treatment is refused, get out. No good can come of it. Most domestic injuries and killings are related to suppressed anger and rage.

I believe that it is our hormones that trigger us to have certain reactions to certain things that other people do or something like a grade that you got on a test.

Most don't. The ones that do have poorly developed social skills or anger management issues.

And have a limited command of the English language when they need to ask.
