Understanding one's anger

RE: Understanding one's anger
EvidenceVsFaith Wrote:I am pretty sure that for a lot of people (and for myself more so in the past and less so now, and progressively less so it seems) - when they get angry, they are fairly sure what they are angry about.

It seems to me that lately, whenever I get wound up, I have no clear idea what's irritating me so I'm not sure how to avoid any of it in the future.

Any idea how one's reasons for their emotions (anger in this case) can be so easily hidden to one's very self?

Probably it's just a build-up of small irritations in the sub-conscious, which eventually manifests itself as apparently unprovoked anger, perhaps at a particular individual, even if that person has done you no harm. You irritating twat.

'False religion' is the ultimate tautology.
