Do you have anger issues?

[WhenTheyCry]

When I remember the past, I get very irritated at times

I don't like feeling anger but narcissism is a massive trigger for me, along with all the stuff that goes with it. Cruelty, deceit, manipulation, charm, phony narratives and a bit of murder now and then just for fun.

Unfortunately that makes me a little bit on the wrong planet since Npeople have infiltrated almost every facet of society.

A bit. Had to bottle everything up all my life so I can be angry at times. Usually it's when I'm alone though.

I was thinking about this a few days ago and reading about other people's experiences

one that stuck out to me was how being around a narcissist requires you to be a different person and brings out the bad/worse in people which is what they want the whole instigate -> get a reaction -> why are you so sensitive -> I am the victim (narc) now and you're the bully thing etc.

(observations gathered from posts online and self help videos about people having violent thoughts/fantasies from all the abuse and feeling guilt and always being on edge/prepared for fights all the time wether it's verbal or physical)

I remember the saying "anger turned inwards is depression, anger turned outwards is aggression" which I think is a précis of Freud's position.

But to answer your question, yes on occasion.

Oui

What kind of aggression?

 

[persimmon]

Oui

What kind of aggression?

Me? Verbally more than anything. Not the type to hurl rocks at people even though it's tempting. You?

 

[Forever Sleep]

Rarely- thankfully. I tend to feel panicked whenI feel angry because I don't know quite what to do with it. Usually some exercise.

Mine is usually verbally as well. I have the urge to hurl rocks at people, but I reign it in. Sometimes I break and destroy things out of anger though. I hate society, the system, capitalism and the world rather than myself. Is this also considered turning anger outwards?

 

[Malaria]

Yes. I have a history of lashing out at people. I also sometimes break things or self harm when my anger feels too overwhelming.

Why do you self harm? I've never done that, I've only broken things

 

[Malaria]

Why do you self harm? I've never done that, I've only broken things

Multiple reasons. I hate myself and am punishing myself, I'm stressed out and it gives me a release, it's a form of expressing the pain I feel inside, it takes the things I feel inside and gives them a physical form, etc

Oh I think so. Nothing wrong with anger when it comes from conviction, against injustice etc. When I've read anger management material it says that people with anger often see the world in black-and-white and I think there's a lot of truth in that – I see that in myself.

 

[EmptyHeaded]

No. I don't think I even know what anger feels like.

 

[hot]

Yes, very bad ones. I also have very bad mood swings. I'm always so sorry when I behaved aggressively towards people - because I didn't actually mean it. I was just extremely angry. Every now and then I get really angry and i get afraid of myself. But that happens very rarely now and I feel better.

 

[ijustwishtodie]

Yes, I try to deny it but I definitely do have anger issues

 

[Meteora]

I definitly do.
