Negative traits that cause anger

Discouraged or unconfident Often issues come into our lives for which we don't have control.

Family or job responsibilities can become overwhelming. There could be failures that are too much to bear. It may appear that there is no way out. Resentment, anger, and depression can easily be expressed. The temptation is to become defensive and block or drive others away with a hard exterior.

Proud Having an attitude of superiority is a common trigger for hurt feelings. When others don't recognize this superiority, there is often tension. This leads to fighting pride. Showing contempt for anothers point of view or position is a way of showing dominance. Boasting draws attention so that others will notice their greatness. When this person is not recognized as they hope, this then becomes a cause of anger. Even the idea of not winning an argument will bring on antagonism.

Self-centered The selfcentered person insists on having their own way and often expects to be the center of attention. Things need to be done on their own schedule and for their own convenience. This person may attack those who oppose them or withdraw completely. They try to manipulate others to get their own way. Short term upset can result in a long term bitterness.

Bitter There is always the chance of being hurt by another person, group of people, or by circumstances. The pain suffered can lead to resentment, hostility, and anger that can take root and grow through time. Lack of forgiveness makes it hard to overcome these roots of bitterness. Rage can explode out in unrelated areas as it festers under the surface. This can be very abusive for the target of the anger. This hurts the angry person as well and alienates them from others.
Verbal attacks often come with sarcasm that is used to put others down. The offended person often tries to hide the fact that they have been hurt.

Fearful or insecure Everyone faces danger or crisis. Situations that cause fear can be traumatic experiences. They can be draining and painful. Also, our inability to deal effectively with crisis may leave us feeling shameful or inadequate. Having to go through the pain felt during these times can activate anger toward the perceived cause. If another person is the cause, they may get a large portion of wrath and endure the insults poured out on them. Anger becomes a reaction to our hurt.

Self-centered Most people have an agenda for how they want to live their lives. Within limits we have the freedom to do just that, especially in the United States. We have the freedom to decide where to live, how to live, how to spend our time and money, and how to spend our free time. When people or circumstances get in the way, the feeling is that anger is justified. There could be a sense of being disturbed or violated.

This may be tested, however, in the daily grind of life. The boss may require overtime or block a deserved promotion. Our children may be difficult to deal with and require additional attention. The neighbors may disagree on noise levels or on boundaries.

Unhappy Many people are just unhappy with their lives. They feel that they have been mistreated or have faced unpleasant and undeserved circumstances. Anger is just under the surface of the skin. They try to suppress their aggressiveness but the irritable person may be grouchy and have a quick sharp tongue. In their aggression, they may appear or threaten violence. Often they are bitter and become more and more isolated from social situations and people.

How should these issues be dealt with? The initial tendency may be to run away from these people. On the other hand, a well adjusted friend or relative may try to resolve the anger problems with understanding and patience. However, if the issues still persist, the reaction back may be irritation, frustration, indignation, or even exasperated hotheaded wrath.
