What is anger?







Anger is a very strong emotion that stimulates an aggressive action. It is a physiological and psychological reaction to pain, suffering, threat or danger. The threat may be real or imaginary.


People have sensitivities, desires and needs. When they are not satisfied or are affected, we feel frustrated. And the frustration is the "mother" of anger and aggression. We can see many examples of anger when people do not accept our view, if the baby cries constantly haunts us or fatigue, if someone hurts or insults, and so on. etc.

The feeling of anger and emotions are not a problem nor a negative factor. What matters is how we face and we express our anger.

In many cases the anger strengthens us and motivates us to solve problems. On the other hand, we can return irrational anger and say things that never were intended to express.


Several ways of expressing anger.
Each person has a different style and therefore respond differently to anger.
Some anger is not a problem, we get angry, resolve the problem relatively quickly, and go to something else. There are those who speak of anger or facing the facts. And there are those who express their anger through activities that calm, like physical exercise, sports and similar activities.

By contrast, for other people's anger is a problem that can not cope. Anger can lead to frustration, depression, fits of anger or stressful situations.

As we can see, the anger is not a problem in itself and, importantly, how you face.

What situations cause a feeling of anger?
There are many situations that cause a feeling of anger. For example, adolescents are more susceptible to expressing feelings of anger and outbursts of anger. Hormonal changes and high pressure have a significant effect. Other situations leading to anger:

• Fatigue
• Hunger
• Hormonal changes
• Illness
• Physical pain and chronic
• Insults and injuries

Anger and its effect on body.
Repressed anger can affect us physically and mentally. When we upset the body prepares for a change: Increases blood pressure, heartbeat accelerating, there is a lot of adrenaline, the pupils dilate and mobilizing other physical functions, as required.

If not repress our anger and express it, we can affect our body.

Besides physical harm, including mental and psychological damage suffered, in the case of mental illness, fits of anger, frustration, anxiety, etc..


Children and anger.
Children are emotional beings and therefore it is important to express their anger openly. We should not suppress their anger, because otherwise we are removing your imagination and creativity, though, of course, must put some limits.


What should we do? How can we face the anger?
We try to restrict our outbursts of anger all possible, although sometimes there is no problem if you shout, but then we have to explain why we are angry and start again. The important thing is not to suppress anger or allow a ball to become a huge ball. Because when it bursts, anger turns into hatred.
And if the anger was not justified and we made a mistake, we must ask forgiveness.
sometimes when people are angry begins to solve their problems or situations of violence or shouting. This is not good because they affect other people or themselves.
I think there are better ways to react to difficult situations…

The persons may have thought things before of being aggressive with the other

  1. I think that the way people handle anger is very important. I think that people should express their anger... as long as they don't hurt other people. Like... kicking garbage cans.... man.. I loved to do that xD
