Is getting angry a bad thing?

Anger is a normal human reaction but not when it gets out of control. Anger can be caused by both external and internal stimulus. You may be angry with another person or you could be become angry by worrying or brooding about your personal problems. Memories of traumatic or enraging events can also trigger angry feelings.

When you are angry, your heart beat races, and your blood pressure shoots up. Getting angry frequently increases your health risks.

How do you express your anger?

Commonly, people express their anger in aggressive ways. Some show their anger as attacking behaviours, such as shouting, cursing and hurling hurtful and caustic insults. Some commit violent acts such as abusing a weaker child or person, engage in fighting or damage things

Anger can be suppressed. This happens when you hold in your anger and divert your focus on something positive, trying to convert it into more constructive behavior. Anger that isn’t allowed outward expression can turn inward on yourself and may cause hypertension, high blood pressure, or depression.

Unexpressed anger can create other problems. You may develop passive-aggressive behavior or undesired personality traits. If you find that you tend to constantly put others down, often make critical and cynical comments about things or people, and is unable to develop successful relationships because of such behaviours, then, perhaps, you need to learn how to constructively express your anger.

By resolving the root issues, you will learn to deal with your emotions more effectively. You will find that you don’t have to resort to using anger as a coping mechanism in life.
