I have anger issues, yes. I do lash out by slightly raising my voice, something my grandfather used to do. A sad trait that I try to correct. But thankfully never get physical. Strangely enough, I don't like to be confrontational with anyone.
In the sense of physical confrontation.

I really dislike confrontation, but love the fighting. Mostly for adrenaline rush, and because I don't like pre fight shit talking, so I expedite it.

I don't like to feel uncomfortable and avoid it at all cost. When it comes to issues, I tend to seek for control and aggressive behavior makes me feel confident in this, because that's what I grew up with as a winning strategy. And it is a winning strategy. Like all the time pretty much. Hit first, you win.

If I feel threatened, I will instantly turn fear into aggression, best use of adrenaline ever. Otherwise you're going to be shaking like a leaf and give them an opportunity to take control over the situation.

Not that it happens often though, it's been some time I did not get into a fight.

I see what you mean. Not to """hijack""" any of this thread, yet you described quite well, it's the shit talking which I don't know how to do it, much less to prepare to hit the person with precision. My heart starts beating fast even before the physical confrontation - don't know if this is for everyone.

Regardless, very interesting line of thought.

You just express that you're annoyed, sit around feeling a vague sense of irritation until you come to terms with it (and hopefully devise how to prevent/better address any similar situations in the future), then that's that.
I feel that this mostly applies to anything you have no control over. Like, this is what I feel about Israel, COVID, or whatever new law or Disney tranny.
Oh I always assumed the opposite, when you're alone you feel more stressed and helpless over whatever's irritating you, and when you're with friends or in public you feel a greater subconscious sense of security so you don't get as keyed up.
Depends on the person I guess. For me it's not a lot difference between friends and not friends if circumstances are the same. I go from 0 to a 100 pretty fast if I feel like someone is fucking me in some way.

It's the same for everybody. The adrenaline will make you shake, will even make you cry. Like tears, not actual crying..

I"ll give you my top secret technique when I get in one of these situations:

Just push the guy. I swear 90% will just push you back. Enjoy the opportunity to KO them.

You just have to be ready for it. Easter egg if you know what their dominant hand is or if they hold a glass or cigarette.

Don't stop to admire your work. Keep going until they ask you to stop.

Understood. Thank you!

Anger is pretty much the only feeling these days that I can get lost in.
Every other emotion in me seems to be rather controlled.

I can recall some highlights from my anger outbursts:
- I broke every single window of a school I used to go to
- I punched a toilet in half at a place I used to work at
- I gave the keys to another ex-workplace to a bunch of homeless bums when I was quitting, they stole everything
- I murdered 3 people in 2009 and buried their bodies in a forest in South England

That's just a fraction.
I'm one of those people who never really shows any emotions.
It's not that I don't have them, it's just that I don't show them.
Anger however, that shit can come out and when it does, it can get messy.
 
I used to, but nowadays it just gets compressed into a ball of cold hate instead of boiling anger.

... Does this even qualify as anger? You might have a bigger issue my friend.

I used to think I had anger problems and then after talking with people who didn’t grow up around abusive assholes I realized that my anger was directly proportional to my problems. It was such a weird feeling to go from years of thinking I was some kind of out of control freak to suddenly being told that I had persevered through so much in a much healthier way than most people in that situation. Even now I have trouble believing it because it was hammered into me for so long that I was just a bad person.

Now that I’m away from the people that made me like that though it’s easier to see. I don’t really get mad even when I probably should. People often remark how calm I am and it just doesn’t feel real. I like to tell them the story of the time I got so mad I blacked out and hit my gym teacher with a chair. The look on their faces is always priceless and I totally get it. I feel like a completely different person most days, mostly because my life is much better now but I still feel the same conviction I did back then. I think given the circumstances I’d make the same choices now that I did then because realistically it was the only sane option I. A world that seemed so insane. I think in that way I can relate to the Killdozer guy a lot.
 
i was at my lowest pre covid, i can say around 2018 was my lowest when it came to my mood and mental well being and also physically (315lbs) and was on many meds like anti depressants. Covid was a huge reality check for me and within 2 years in covid i'm a whole different person now, i've kept a journal at my apartment and write what happens through out the day, i've been lifting for 4 years now, been on a strict diet and i've also dropped down from 315lbs, now to 220lbs and now i'm toned out and feel amazing, i've also been doing ice plunges at any chance i get in the morning. My hobbies went from smoking weed, playing games and having a porn addiction to now just either reading books, using my 3d printer, going for walks up a hill, and still kept games but at a casual level and not extreme like i used to and kicked my porn addiction. I say all of this cause i hope what got me out a dark time in my life, also helps someone out there and drop the meds and start lifting the weights and find new ways to help their anger issues and find a way to get it out of their lives like i did throughout my journey. In darkness there is light.

I hardly ever get driven to anger by anything and even when I do I have very little impulse to act on it, I just get frustrated but usually go with the flow
 
Is being almost impossible to meaningfully piss off a form of anger issue?

Daily intrusive thoughts about caving in someone's face with a brick are perfectly normal.

Incurable misanthropy is a rational response to Clown World.

How do I deal with it? I hit softballs. Feels good to clobber something.

I had to get a dash cam without a mic on it because of how bad my road rage is when I'm in my truck driving through traffic. I've lost my voice several times driving home on my commute. If I got in an accident and my camera had me on tape going "FUCK YOU YOU STUPID PAVEMENT APE YOU DUMB NIGGER LEARN HOW TO USE A BLINKER OH YOU DRIVE A NISSAN ALTIMA WITH PAPER TAGS YOU STUPID COON OF COURSE YOU DO MERGE NIGGA YOU GONNA MERGE NIGGA NOT TODAY YOU STUPID APE" and I had to submit that to court or my insurance I'd be fucked. It's really cathartic though. I also have boxer knuckle from when I was younger and I'd punch holes in dry wall. I mostly stick to writing angry emails and yelling in my truck to let out the rage and not breaking things now.
