In all the books I've skimmed and all the websites I've looked through (including my two books: Anger by Thich Naht Hahn and Anger Management by Judith Peacock), I've find one common thread. they all say that I need to find my triggers before I can learn to control my anger. However, they vary in what these triggers are. Some say I need to identify what makes me the most angry and some say that I need to identify how I feel when I start getting angry. I decided to do both and here's what I got:
Things that make me angry most are people who always think they're right. When people are wrong, I get it, I accept it, I move on. But, when people are insistent on things and have a constant demeanor like they're better than everyone, they make me angry by just being around me. It's bad. On the opposite side of the spectrum I hate stupid people. Now I know how that sounds, but I don't mean unintelligent people or anything like that. I hate people who have absolutely no common sense -- people who can't do laundry, people who don't know how get by in life without their mommies and daddies. People like that.
When I get angry I get this really uncomfortable feeling. It's like every molecule inside my body is buzzing around and won't sit still. Every part of me is urging for action -- screaming, yelling, outbursts -- but there's nothing I can do. It makes me twitch from time to time and it makes me fidget. What am I supposed to do? I don't know. And it drives me crazy until I finally just can't take it anymore. That's when the yelling actually starts and when the problems begin.
