Stress
Heightened Emotional Sensitivity: Feeling easily

reactions and difficulty managing anger.
Reduced Patience: Becoming quickly frustrated or
irritated, especially in challenging or stressful situations.
Physical Tension: Experiencing bodily signs of anger,
such as tight muscles, clenched fists, or an overall sense
of physical discomfort.
Impaired Problem-Solving: Struggling to think clearly or
make rational decisions due to the influence of anger on
logical thinking.
Frustration
Increased Sensitivity to Triggers: Reacting strongly to specific
situations, people, or events that may seem minor to others,
often leading to disproportionate anger.
Feeling Powerless: Experiencing frustration or helplessness,
which can intensify anger as a way to regain a sense of control.
Built-Up Tension: Suppressing emotions over time, resulting in
an eventual explosive release of anger.
Misplaced Anger: Directing frustration toward unrelated people
or situations, often as a way of coping with unresolved issues.
Unresolved emotions
Suppressed Emotions Lead to Bottling Up Anger: Repressing
feelings instead of expressing them, which can cause anger to
build up and eventually lead to an intense outburst.
Anger as a Defense Mechanism: Using anger to protect oneself
from feelings of vulnerability, fear, or emotional pain.
Emotional Overload and Explosive Anger: Accumulating stress
and emotions to the point where anger is expressed in a
sudden, uncontrollable manner.
Anger as a Mask for Other Emotions: Hiding underlying
emotions like sadness, disappointment, or guilt by expressing
them as anger instead.
Trauma Or Past Experiences
Altered Emotional Response: Reacting to situations in an exaggerated
or atypical way due to anger, making it hard to maintain emotional
balance.
Hyperarousal: Staying in a heightened state of alertness and tension,
which can lead to an increased likelihood of angry outbursts.
Difficulty Regulating Emotions: Struggling to control intense feelings,
resulting in impulsive or inappropriate expressions of anger.
Increased Sensitivity to Triggers: Becoming easily provoked by minor
irritations or stressors, leading to frequent episodes of anger.
Mental health condition
Impaired Emotional Regulation: Difficulty managing and
controlling emotions, leading to frequent outbursts or
inappropriate expressions of anger.
Heightened Sensitivity: Overreacting to perceived criticism or
minor inconveniences, resulting in intense anger responses.
Cognitive Distortions: Misinterpreting situations or assuming
the worst, fueling unjustified anger or frustration.
Mood Instability: Experiencing rapid mood swings, where
anger may arise unexpectedly or disproportionately to the
situation.
