The discussion revolves around varying experiences and definitions of anger among participants. Some individuals report feeling angry infrequently, perhaps once a year, while others experience anger multiple times daily, often triggered by personal interactions or frustrations with technology. There is a consensus that anger is a natural emotion, but excessive displays of anger, such as yelling, are viewed as signs of weakness or character flaws. Participants differentiate between anger and annoyance, with many acknowledging that they feel annoyed more often than truly angry. The conversation also touches on the physical manifestations of anger, such as increased heart rate and shaking. Humor is used to cope with frustrations, particularly in light of everyday annoyances like mosquitoes. Overall, the thread emphasizes the complexity of anger as an emotion, its expressions, and the importance of managing it constructively.

I teach, so...I guess I get angry whenever someone gets angry at me (which is more frequent than I wish).

I had to leave a job though, recently, on account of severe anger caused by my abusive and extra stingy boss. It was so bad, if I saw him, I wanted to just punch him out; though I swear I never did.
