Understanding anger:

a powerful emotion

––––––––

Anger is a natural and powerful human emotion that we all experience at some point in our lives. It is an emotional response that can arise when we feel frustrated, threatened, hurt, or when our expectations are not met. Although anger is a common emotion, its understanding, and proper management are fundamental to maintaining healthy relationships and a balanced emotional life.

Anger is a primal expression that has been part of the human experience since time immemorial. It is a natural and universal emotional response that has developed over the course of human evolution. Although it is often considered a negative emotion, anger also has its purpose and positive function in our daily lives.

Anger can manifest as physical or psychological pain, provoking or manifesting harsh critical statements toward others. The consequences are expressed in an increase in the level of stress and anxiety, distraction, and irascibility.

Anger can have its own degree, from mild annoyance and discontent to rage, fury, and out-of-control. Minimal, has a destructive force, which is directed towards others, but is capable of influencing one's own state. But if you learn to control this emotion, you can support yourself and others.

The emotion of anger

Anger is a powerful emotion that arises in response to situations that we perceive as unfair, threatening, frustrating, or contrary to our expectations. It can manifest in varying degrees, from mild annoyance to intense fury. Anger can appear in response to specific events or build up over time due to recurring situations.

It is tough to eradicate such emotion because it is established at the level of instincts, which can even sometimes be useful. But frequent outbursts of anger and uncontrolled states can bring irreparable consequences. Fortunately, there are ways to develop self-control and live in peace.

Evolutionary function

Anger has an evolutionary purpose that has helped us survive as a species. Historically, anger has been a coping tool that allowed us to face danger and defend our resources and loved ones. In threatening situations, anger can activate the fight or flight response, increasing our ability to protect ourselves and survive.

Anger triggers

Anger triggers vary from person to person as they are influenced by individual factors and personal experiences. Some common triggers include perceived unfairness, lack of control over a situation, violation of personal boundaries, frustration over unachieved goals, or unfulfilled expectations, among others.

Anger is caused by a wide range of situations, those that a person appraises as shocking, ugly, terrible, or inappropriate.

Anger is born to cause fear, shame, and submission. Anger, as a rule, creates a negative motivation in the one to whom it is directed. At the same time, anger makes relationships worse.

Causes

Frustration (discrepancy between desires and possibilities). This state occurs when, due to obstacles, a person cannot achieve the cherished goal. In such situations, the motivation, the aspiration disappears; a feeling of anger appears, mainly in relation to oneself.

Defense against physical threats is most often manifested in its avoidance or prevention but is almost always accompanied by anger.

The reason for anger can be a situation or an opinion totally contrary to our beliefs and attitudes. This feeling is fueled by self-confidence (which is under attack). Along with other emotions, anger can trigger attempts to bias and change another person's mind.

Emotions give rise to reciprocal emotions, anger is no exception, especially if such a negative emotion is directed in our direction for no reason.

Anger does not arise in a vacuum. Behind her, there are always feelings of pain, fear, and resentment. This is the result of accumulated emotions of dissatisfaction.

In some cases, outbursts of anger provide additional energy to keep working. The developed adrenaline contributes to increased productivity and the merger of work.

Expression of anger

The way we express anger can vary greatly and can be influenced by cultural and social factors. Some people may express it openly and directly, while others may suppress it or express it more passive-aggressively. An unhealthy expression of anger can lead to destructive behavior and interpersonal conflict.

An angry person is aggressive. The eyebrows are lowered and together, with vertical creases between the eyebrows. The upper eyelids are tense, and the lower ones are held tight and
