What Are Anger Indicators

Here we will sum up the signs of anger, because even though
everyone is different, there are certain comparable signs that
denote this strong emotion.
Sometimes, an angry person will verbally or physically assault
others. They are sometimes prone to violent outbursts, often
involving hurting others or destroying things.
An angry person is often aggressive, and might complain a lot
about seemingly everything. They often engage in malicious
behavior toward others, retaliating or striking out against
others.
People who are angry are often antisocial, with an incapability
to relate to their peers. Often, they disparage people, say
cruel or unkind things, or hurt people to make themselves feel
better.
Their lack of dealing with the anger problems leads to the
inability to trust others. They exhibit suspicious, judgmental,
or jealous characteristics toward others. Angry people might try
to undermine others, and be disruptive if they do not agree with
something. An angry person is not pleasant to be around, and
they desperately need help.
Recently I heard about a woman that had serious anger problems.
For seemingly no reason she would react to what most people
would consider minor issues such as a child eating too much or
eating something that she envied.
Something like this was enough to bring about an irrational
reaction. Sometimes she was mild in her acts, and other times
she was out of control. In most cases, she had no basis for her
behavior; however, there was an underlying source, as is usually
the case.
The woman did in fact display anti-social behaviors, and she
often conveyed odd thinking patterns. For example, she would say
that all men are pigs. She also talked about leading men on;
leading them down to her basement and having alligators eat them
alive. The woman was unbalanced and very ill.
Now she was diagnosed with Bipolar – Manic Depression, and
Posttraumatic Stress Disorder. After careful examination
Posttraumatic Stress was dismissed and the diagnosis was that of
exaggerated, anti-social traits.
According to her, the cause for her anger was that the many men
she had been involved with had mistreated her. This was only
part of the reason, and the truth surfaced when she talked more
about her life. She had been adopted as a child; therefore, she
felt a sense of abandonment.
The origin here is understandable, since she most likely
resented her parents for giving her up for adoption. Even if the
parents’ reasons were valid, she rebuffs when prompted to hear
the other side of the story. Since the woman’s symptoms were
ongoing, the treatment would probably never work since she was a
victim of her own mind and in denial.
It was obvious that the woman had anger manifesting in her own
behaviors. She performed illegal acts, such as writing bad
checks. Therefore, the symptoms she endured were partially of
her own choice. She produced her anger and paranoia; therefore
her anger is her own responsibility.
However, angry people will often undermine others. For example,
an angry individual might say something like: try these diet
pills; they will help you take off some weight. The angry person
is well aware that the other individual has a sore spot about
their weight, even though she is normal weight. Therefore, the
angry person is trying to disparage the individual by
undermining her self-esteem.
An angry person will also seek attention and use damaging
words. For example, an angry person might say, “I am fat”. The
angry person is waiting for you to disagree, and offer
compliments. The best thing to do in this situation is to ignore
the angry person. Because denial is at the source of the
problem, no matter how many times you try to convince the person
otherwise, they will not believe you.
