One of the roots of anger is the Greek word ankhone for “a strangling,” which is a perfect description of the way anger actually feels. Indeed, anger can make you feel like strangling someone.

There are three types of anger which help shape how we react in a situation that makes us angry. These are: Passive Aggression, Open Aggression, and Assertive Anger.

There are many common triggers for anger, such as losing your patience, feeling as if your opinion or efforts aren’t appreciated, and injustice. Other causes of anger include memories of traumatic or enraging events and worrying about personal problems. Your personal history feeds your reactions to anger, too.

Generally, people with dementia become agitated due to three potential trigger categories: Medical, physiological and/or environmental.

Many things can trigger anger, including stress, family problems, and financial issues. For some people, anger is caused by an underlying disorder, such as alcoholism or depression. Anger itself isn’t considered a disorder, but anger is a known symptom of several mental health conditions.

Lots of people cry when they feel frustrated, angry, or embarrassed. When you get mad, your body produces a flood of hormones that stimulate strong reactions in your body — everything from a racing heart to sweaty palms to short-term memory loss. In response to the elevated stress level, you may cry.

The cause of the condition may lie in the brain or in the facial nerves, according to the report. Both the production of tears and the passing of urine are under the control of a brain region called the pons. The report is published online in the journal Pediatrics.

When you feel yourself getting worked up, take a few long, slow breaths. This forces your body to calm down and distracts you a little from whoever is yelling at you, which might be enough to avert a crying session. Look away. Look at something other than the person who’s yelling at you.

Why do I cry when people yell at me? It is normal in the sense that we have all experienced being overwhelmed or angry and yelling as the only way to express frustration and anger. When we feel we are not in control of the situation or feel hopeless about the outcome then we tend to cry.

Your parent is angry for one reason or another, even if he/she is wrong in doing so, and the yelling is a sign of frustration and a desire to be heard by you. Responding with aggression will make them feel misunderstood, so more yelling will be likely in the future.

Set a time limit for the break, like 20 or 30 minutes, and don’t use it to stew over the argument. Instead, do something relaxing or distracting, Rusnak said, and come back when the time limit is over — even if it’s just to say that you need more time.

Fighting causes a massive release of epinephrine into the bloodstream, causing the fight-or-flight response. Not only does epinephrine stimulate the body, but the emotions as well. This is an involuntary response.

It doesn’t matter how well-reasoned her points are or how much of the moral high ground she has, when she and her boyfriend start arguing, the waterworks begin. We might cry out of empathy for our partner, shock at hearing about something we’d been oblivious to or anger if another’s argument comes across as accusatory.

If you can’t cry at all, you might have a hard time working through your own emotions, and you could also find it tough to connect with others. In the end, crying is normal, so don’t worry about trying to hold those tears back — they’re completely natural.

If your lack of tears comes from emotional reasons, a therapist may help you. If you never cry, it could be a sign that you have anhedonia. This is a common symptom of depression. It’s described as a loss of interest or pleasure in physical sensations.

People that have pseudobulbar affect do have other emotions but express emotions in an inappropriate and magnified manner, consequently disrupting their life. Uncontrollable crying can look like crying for no reason.

When psychopaths cry, Glass says they will often wipe underneath each eye, one at a time. “When people cry genuine tears they cry with both eyes, and so they will tend to wipe both eyes at once.”

The lower on the scale a psychopath is, the more likely they are to develop some sort of love for people such as family members. Psychopaths are much less likely to develop deep bonds with others, however. Interestingly, psychopaths may still want to be loved even if they are almost incapable of truly loving another.

As psychopaths age, they are not able to continue their energy-consuming lifestyle and become burned-out and depressed while they look back on their restless life full of interpersonal discontentment. Their health deteriorates as the effects of their recklessness accumulate.
