do i have anger issues?

i lose my temper really easily

for example today the mouse on my laptop was moving slow so i punched the laptop 3 times and bit my tongue

i say horrible things to people when they interrupt me doing things and one time a friend of mine annoyed me by saying something about my gf and i locked him in a big wooden box (knowing he has really bad asthma) and sprayed a can of deodorant into the box and left him there

do i have anger issues and what makes people have anger issues??

Update:

THE THING IS THAT I WAS LAUGHING WHEN I WAS DOING THIS TOO MY FRIEND AND TO THIS DAY I STILL FIND IT HILARIOUS - LIKE IM ROARING LAUGHING NOW!!

    First off the 4 main reasons as to why we get angry are;

    1) You haven't forgiven something or someone

    2) You haven't accepted something or someone

    3) Impatience

    4) Suffering due to desires

    Whenever you feel angry ask yourself which one is it and then tell yourself to, forgive the person, accept the person or whatever it is you are not accepting, and third if you feel impatient of something try to calm yourself and be patient.

    Accept by being okay with it; When you see something that you possibly can't accept and if it can be changed than try to change it(it has to not be harmful to anything or anyone) and if you can't change it then just accept it, if you don't accept it, you will get angry.

    Forgive by "letting go of the past"; When you are forgiving someone they do not win. Ever heard the quote; “Forgiveness is the sweetest revenge”

    When you forgive someone you basically let go of your anger, you let go of the event that made you angry. Why would you even want to hold in anger? All your left is a good ruined mood.

    Patient by organizing, jot out what to do for the day, wait.

    Okay this is a very good quote for anger;

    "Holding on to anger is like grasping a hot coal with the intent of throwing it at someone else; you are the one who gets burned."

    When we get angry, we don’t win, we lose. We lose our temper, we can’t think properly, we get all steamed up, and ruin our mood, ruin our moment and if we decide not to solve it long enough; we bring back those events in our head and still get angry until we just solve the issue. Anger will not and has not benefited me or you or anyone else in this world. Not only do we damage ourselves, but we inflict our anger onto other people and this will also make us look bad.

    Suffering from desires is when we desire; crave, want, something that “satisfies our own needs”. Let me be briefer here; Hunger is a need without it we will die therefore it is not to satisfy our cravings, but it is in order to survive. On the other hand there’s brand named clothing, expensive cars, lusting others. We will not die if we do not have brand named clothing, expensive cars, or lusting others, so when we want these it is only to satisfy our own cravings and this leads to suffering. When we desire; crave, want something and if we don’t get it then we will suffer and when we suffer it can lead us to become angry or sad. Now if we do get the object that we obtain, then our desire will hunger out for more, and this will just lead to an even bigger suffering. The longer we desire then the longer we will suffer.

    “Desires come and go” (when you desired and then the desire is gone, you’ll suffer for desiring in the first place, so try to resist )

    "To want is to suffer" ( a more specific explanation of desiring is wanting, let this be the motto )

    You can get angry when someone makes a mistake, but know that human’s make mistakes all the time, so have I and so have you. No human is perfect and every human has good and bad qualities.

    To take an insult;

    when you hear something possibly insulting or something you don't like then don't "accept" the insult. When you accept an insult or take it to thought then it will have effect on you, while on the other hand you could have just not taken it into you. Think about it an insult is just a word off another person or written, entering your ears or eyes, and it can only be in effect is if we bring it into us. So inside your mind give the insult back to the person.

    When you also see someone angry try to be understanding also such as; this person could be angry over, not accepting, not forgiving, misunderstanding, impatience. Be understanding just like how you can get angry to. Don’t get annoyed at someone who gets angry to because 2 wrongs don’t make a right.

    When someone does something bad to you try and reflect on what bad action you could have possibly done in order to get this. When someone does something bad to you and you assume that they did this for no reason, well when you assume this you will get angry. There was a reason for this to happen. To try and be more understanding on how people act on how they act when they’re act is wrong, well try to imagine yourself if you were that person, if you were raised the same way as that person, if you knew very little knowledge like that person, if you were fed with the wrong point of views like that person, if you were ignorant like that person.

    When we don’t know our roots of anger then we will keep on being questioned as too why we are angry and how can we eliminate this anger? People who don’t do this end up as you can see today; angry teachers, angry parents, angry managers.

    Anger is the one thing that should be killed in this world.

    yea u have anger issues.. Whats makes it seem you have anger issues is that you did those horrible things to your friend and after a day u will fell sorry about it and think i shouldnt have done that. But, instantly your reaction was to lock him up yes that shows signs of anger in you.

    i think you do have anger issues. you could have told your friend that it was way out of line to say what he said but to lock him in a box and knowing about his asthma, that's really inappropriate. it seems like when you get angry, you become violent.

    you are the only one who let ppl make u angry. well that's what a anger management instructor told me- i was forced to participate in anger management for job training- this made me very anger so i wouldn't suggest anyone taking anger management because it only causes anger- anyways...yes you sound angry i would try counting to ten, working out, doing things that help you cool down...my brother is angry always and he uses a rowing machine it helps him burn off steam. different things cause different ppl to be angry. just remember you are the only one who controls ur reactions to ppls actions- you have to find a way to control your reactions

    Source(s): train in anger management... :P
