When I remember the past, I get very irritated at times
I was thinking about this a few days ago and reading about other people's experiencesI 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.
I remember the saying "anger turned inwards is depression, anger turned outwards is aggression" which I think is a précis of Freud's position.When I remember the past, I get very irritated at times
What kind of aggression?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.![]()
Me? Verbally more than anything. Not the type to hurl rocks at people even though it's tempting. You?Oui
What kind of aggression?
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?Me? Verbally more than anything.

Why do you self harm? I've never done that, I've only broken thingsYes. I have a history of lashing out at people. I also sometimes break things or self harm when my anger feels too overwhelming.
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, etcWhy do you self harm? I've never done that, I've only broken things
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.Mine is usually verbally as well.
