See...being stuck in the vicious, vitriolic, perma-scream cycle...always spring-loaded with hate and vitriol...is unhealthy and shortens your life.

I've seen too many people who seemingly cannot help themselves, when it comes to controlling their anger...who have zero impulse control. These same people seek confrontation everywhere, and with everyone. They see slights where there are none and lash out at any poor soul who happens to be in close vicinity, even going so far as to hurt innocent children and animals.

Life is way too short to always be wound up, especially over petty things.


Angry people die sooner: Just one of ten reasons why you should try to keep your cool, according to scientists
Last week The Mail on Sunday revealed that MP Paul Farrelly was being investigated after launching a foul-mouthed outburst at a fellow politician after a heated Brexit debate.

And it’s not the first time the MP has been involved in a fracas. He made headlines in 2010 after leaving a newspaper seller bloodied and bruised during a fight in a House of Commons bar.

Unfortunately, keeping your cool is a problem for many people: almost a third of Britons polled say they have a close friend or family member who has trouble controlling their anger, while one in ten admit to having a problem with their temper. Here, we outline ten reasons why it’s good to get anger under control…

1 ANGRY PEOPLE DIE SOONER

Researchers from Iowa State University found that angry men aged 20 to 40 were one-and-a-half times more likely to be dead 35 years later than those who were calmer.

Scientists believe this is due to a number of factors linking stress to physiological damage. The frequent release of adrenaline during periods of stress damages DNA, which could lead to life-threatening illnesses such as multiple sclerosis.

2 GRUMPS DON’T SLEEP AS WELL

Feelings of anger produce a heightened response in the amygdala, the part of the brain associated with survival instincts. Angry emotions prompt the amygdala to signal a heightened state of anxiety to the rest of the brain and the body, increasing blood flow to the limbs and heart, which makes relaxation almost impossible.

Those exposed to anger-inducing stimuli – without discussing how it made them feel – are more likely to experience insomnia than those who engage in an emotional ‘debrief’, according to neuroscientists at the University of Massachusetts.

‘Writing down the cause of your anger frees up the space in your head, dampening the fear response and encouraging relaxation,’ says Mike Fisher, director of the British Association of Anger Management.

3 ANGER CAUSES HEADACHES

Emotions such as excitement or anger result in the release of stress hormones cortisol, adrenaline and testosterone, which put the body into flight-or-flight mode.

The chemical surge increases blood flow to the brain and triggers the swelling of both blood vessels and nerves surrounding the brain.

The pressure can result in tension and headaches. A study of 422 healthy adults found that chronic headache sufferers scored significantly higher on a ‘trait anger scale’.

4 IT CAN TRIGGER LUNG DISEASE

Those of a hostile nature experience reduced functioning of the respiratory system, researchers at the Harvard School of Public Health found.

Studies looking into the lung function of more than 2,000 men, over an eight-year period, observed that highly hostile individuals performed significantly worse on a simple inhalation task than those who were rated less hostile.

5 IT MAKES YOU ANXIOUS AND DEPRESSED

When we feel angry, neurotransmitters and hormones are sent through the bloodstream which, in turn, increase both the heart rate and muscle tension. This is the body’s state of alert.

Frequent occurrence of this reaction puts a strain on neurons in the hypothalamus, the brain’s ‘stress control centre’, meaning that it becomes harder for the neurons to switch off. And the ‘happy hormone’ serotonin is significantly depleted in some aggressive individuals.

exactly and it makes life so much more pleasant
I know one woman (IRL) who has literally lost her mind over DJT winning. She went so far as to break up with the "love of her life", due to him being a Republican and Trump voter. She has driven away all Republican clients (she's an atty) and is utterly consumed with TDS. She has also gained at least 50lbs since the election, which is also (of course) Trump's fault.

I can't imagine going through life so wound up with hate all the time.

See what I mean. You're still crying like a little boy who has fallen and skinned his knee.

Just watch Fox news, read a blog, heck read this forum. The anger is seething from every pour on the body of conservatives. They couldn't find a way to get rid of Obama and it has created a complex. Same goes for Hillary, except they took her out in the election and she's virtually irrelevant but yet they cry and complain and foam at the mouth every day.

Frequent occurrence of this reaction puts a strain on neurons in the hypothalamus, the brain’s ‘stress control centre’, meaning that it becomes harder for the neurons to switch off. And the ‘happy hormone’ serotonin is significantly depleted in some aggressive individuals.

Food for thought:

7 Mistaken Assumptions Angry People Often Make
  1. They can’t help it. Angry people have lots of excuses. Women will blame their PMS. Both sexes will blame their stress, their exhaustion, or their worries. Never mind that other people who have PMS or who are stressed, tired, or worried don’t pop off at the world. Angry people don’t yet understand that they are actually giving themselves permission to rant. In that sense, they are very much in control.
  2. The only way to express anger is to explode. People who rage believe that anger is like the buildup of steam in an overheated steam engine. They think they need to blow off the steam in order to be OK. In fact, raging tends only to produce more of the same.
  3. Frustration is intolerable. Angry people can’t sit with frustration, anxiety or fear. To them, such feelings are a signal that they are being challenged. When life doesn’t go their way, when someone doesn’t see things as they do, when their best-laid plans get interrupted or they make a mistake, they simply can’t tolerate it. To them, it’s better to blow than to be left with those feelings. They don’t get it that frustration is a normal part of everyone’s life and that it is often the source of creativity and inspiration.
  4. It’s more important to win than to be right. Chronically angry people often have the idea that their status is at stake when there is conflict. When questioned, they take it overly personally. If they are losing an argument, they experience a loss of self-esteem. At that moment, they need to assert their authority, even if they are wrong. When it is certain that they are wrong, they will find a way to prove that the other person is more wrong. For mature people, self-esteem is grounded in being able to put ego aside in order to find the best solution.
  5. “Respect” means that people do things their way. When another driver tailgates, when a partner refuses to go along with a plan, when a kid doesn’t jump when told to do something, they feel disrespected. To them, disrespect is intolerable. Making a lot of noise and threatening is their way of reasserting their right to “respect” by others. Sadly, when the basis of “respect” is fear, it takes a toll on love and caring.
  6. The way to make things right is to fight. Some angry people have learned at the feet of a master. Having grown up with parents who fight, it is their “normal.” They haven’t a clue how to negotiate differences or manage conflict except by escalating. Then they become very much like the parent they loathed and feared when they were kids.
  7. Other people should understand that they didn’t mean what they did or said when they were angry. Angry people feel that anger entitles them to let loose. It’s up to other people not to take seriously hurtful things they say or do. After all, they say, they were just angry. They don’t get it that other people are legitimately hurt, embarrassed, humiliated, or afraid.

Bravo Sierra, look in the mirror. That's irrational anger

I'm happy as can be. I couldn't stand to see either candidate win, they were the same to me. Now each party is killing itself through narcissistic aspirations and inability to function properly. Meanwhile the libertarian party is making gains at state and local level, so I'm just fine :cool:
