I hate it when I get angry but wat I've learned is people want to bring out the worst in you to gas light and make you look like a horrendous individual when it's actually them creating the chaos, I'm learning to be smarter about not taking the bait cause my anger is on rage levels.

Sometimes I get so angry I could see my self earning a prison sentence.. And then my survival instinct kicks in, and tells me I'm way too good looking to ever allow myself to go to jail.

lololol - no you surely don't want to be someone's "mommy" ... stay right and enjoy your life !

BUT WHY do you get that angry? and good on you for controlling that.

I don't know. My soul goes on fire it feels like.. When somebody wrongs me or something. I always fear the consequences, so that keeps me to avoid making stupid decisions. Good fear I guess.

I would think about the triggers that offset you in that rage. It could stem way back... you don't have to share but once you know what silently controls you, you have a chance

LOL

Explosive temper girl here. It is activated when one of my dearest principles is challenged. It is here and gone in a flash. And I'm worse online when I am not looking at a human face and hearing a human voice.

where do you think it stems from though

Deep seated issues from childhood, I'd guess. Abuse I'd rather not discuss, several close familial deaths. I was also discouraged from expressing anger. Aaaaand Mars in Leo w/ squares aplenty and Algol conjunct Ascendent. When I get mad people are afraid of me. I weigh 115 pounds, but people get scared. It's a quality I dislike in myself and am better at taming than I once was.

yeah, it's all buried in childhood. look at that at that shit dead on and find some peace...

I am convinced anger causes health issues

LMAO. I feel the same.

OP I do get angry about the politics in my country, but am trying to curb it by becoming more involved with finding viable solutions to political problems with like minded individuals.
