Anyone have anger problems?

i have anger problems. it is directed at me, but of course frustration spills out and causes rude behavior to others. i have sort of a crappy relationship with my parents and am not exactly a social butterfly, because of my anger/resentment/whatever. its hard to get over, i hold on to it because it makes me feel like i understand something and fit into this all somehow. i feel like without my anger i am powerless and am terrified to let love take over. love has not been good to me because i have not been good to it. so the cycle goes on. only a steady hand will straighten this bend. i am working on it

 

No offense taken. It is interpretation that causes the anger, not the fact. It may not be easy to take advantage of that truth but to accept and take advantage of that truth will truly slay the monster. But I will say that you will not choose something you find offensive to your beliefs.

 

Yes and no... There have been many a time I've worked myself up over what I thought was going on, when the reality was quite different and I got pissed off for nothing.

But then there are those times when the actual event was what got me pissed! I know it's actually all fear based, but when my brother is being a big douche bag, an explosion is imminent.
