I'm not sure if overcompensating is the right word, but I'll try and explain. If I'm angry with something someone has said to me, it tends to consume me. I often feel like I need to do something to "offset" that. Anger often represents a lack of control for me. To make up for that loss of control, I might just do something completely random like go for a drive. For no other reason as to stick it to the person who angered me, like "you can't control me". Does this make sense? submitted by /u/Hassaan18 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

I’m a nearly 17f and I think I have anger problems. I don’t want to be one of those people who self-diagnose themselves and stuff but I just don’t think the way I react to things is normal. It’s like when I get angry or frustrated or upset, I can either react in one of two ways. I get really upset and depressed and believe I’m not good enough for anything or anybody, no matter how good my day was before the event, or I get physical when I’m angry, act in a way that makes my family hate me and end up feeling really depressed afterwards and regret what I have done immediately after. I’m usually ..read more

I usually dont get mad a lot but something that does seem to get to me is that whenever my gf asks if im mad and there’s literally nothing wrong, i just seem to get in a very bad mood and pissed off. submitted by /u/Queasy_Awareness_899 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

I feel like I don’t know exactly where to start. I’ve been getting angry with my six month old, if he’s fussy or doesn’t want his bottle, I get irate. I usually get angry at other things but I was never like this with my first born. The other evening I got so upset I threw the bottle across the room. I’m horrified and ashamed of my behavior. I don’t want to be a bad dad. I’m reluctant about attending local meetings because in my job I interact with a lot of the community, and I don’t want anything church associated. What can my first step be? Thank you in advance. submitted by /u/YoungAdult_ ..read more

Hi , 29/M I discribe my situation, so that maybe someone can help me . I have been suppressed my anger from childhood(childhood trauma). I was angry about so many things that i have decided to not show my anger because i afraid of the outcome , after being independent my fear is not rejction or isolation , its just fear of hurting others and fear of uncontrollable rage . I can feel that every time i suppress my anger deep down i feel bad about myself . Do you have any suggestion ? submitted by /u/WeekCompetitive1833 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

I’m not sure if this is the right sub to post in and i’m fairly new to reddit so sorry! I’m curious because i grew up in a pretty rough household, I love people who struggle with angry outbursts and i’m wondering, what differentiates someone who’s self aware and knows how to manage their anger versus someone who never owns up? Basically why is it that some people manage it better and how do you set boundaries with someone who doesn’t manage it in a way kind to others? I want to be understanding and know that it’s not my place to go through that journey for them but i’m curious about it from t ..read more

Please help me understand how to stop reacting and lashing out when I am angry. Its ruining my life. I feel like there is no “pause” just a trigger and then I lash out. I can’t stop it. If i could just pause and think before I react that would change everything but I just snap within a second. Im going to lose my husband, daughter, happiness and EVERYTHING else. My whole life is on the line and I just dont know what to do. submitted by /u/MammothImprovement83 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

Ok, for starters I am 20 years old female, I live with my parents as of now and I am studying engineering. I am making this post and it is my first time writing on reddit but I just want to get this off my chest. All my life, I’ve felt alone. I had friends, I had some boyfriends etc. but I have always felt utterly alone, and this is probably because I am an avoidant and very emotionally unavailable, also a perfectionist and very judgmental only towards myself. I had a lot of childhood trauma, like VERY much, but I won’t get into it right now. I’ve hated myself basically all my childhood, like ..read more

I swear I would have 10 times more karma than I have now, mayhaps there is a theory that neckbeards on this app want to keep me away from success? So may someone enlighten me on why the heck do my posts get deleted? submitted by /u/Hanco90 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more
