We get angry as a natural emotional response to perceived threats, injustices, frustrations, or violations of personal boundaries. It’s part of our survival instinct, rooted in the brain's amygdala, which helps us react quickly to danger or unfair treatment.

Here are some common triggers and reasons for anger:

1. Frustration – When goals are blocked or expectations aren't met.

2. Hurt or Fear – Emotional or physical pain, or fear of loss, rejection, or failure.

3. Perceived Injustice – Feeling wronged, treated unfairly, or disrespected.

4. Stress or Overload – Accumulated tension from pressure or being overwhelmed.

5. Learned Behavior – Observing others use anger as a way to express themselves or solve problems.

6. Unmet Needs – Such as the need for control, respect, appreciation, or connection.

While anger itself isn't bad, how we express or manage it makes the difference. Uncontrolled anger can harm relationships and health, while constructive anger can signal needed change or motivate action.
