What triggers your agression?

Mine are physical threats on me and friends/family.
( and i dont mean just getting mad i mean wanting to smash something or someone)

Immediate, life-threatening physical threats against loved ones go without saying. You'd laugh to look at me but I've gone all out murderous at times when my family's been threatened. No details cos not sure it's appropriate to the forum, and luckily didn't have to follow through, but would have without question and would have accepted being lifed off for it no problem as something that was necessary at the time to keep someone I love alive at someone else's expense. I'm less good at defending myself. Generally prefer to try and talk my way out of dangerous situations, sometimes taking a quick beating in preference to escalating a confrontation into something more genuinely dangerous. I don't generally find myself in situations like that anymore these days though, been a while. :)

On the whole I don't really do aggression at other people. All mine is turned inward, and can be sparked off by the littlest things. Frustration would be one, knowing I've been a twat would be another. I tend to bottle up my frustration with other people and swallow it down. Try for water off a duck's back mainly, which works for a while, but I can only keep a lid on the pent-up rage and frustration so long, and at some point it's gonna come roaring out of me. Alcohol's usually a big contributing factor and I have a tendency to break things when it does, but I only do it when other people aren't around so noone else getting broken, bonus. I need to get better at it, and find better ways to deal with my frustration. I am, and do generally, but it's still something to be worked on.
 
This is directed at no one in particular but if you surround yourself with good, honest people you'll lose the mega-aggressive hoodrat mentality of always watching your back and starting at shadows. You'll also stop hulk-walking with a fake limp and eyeballing everyone who passes you when you're around town with your friends.
 
authority and religion. i was raised by catholic cops.

This, apart from the catholic and cops part. Humanities stupidity and that of our "elected" leaders are about the only things that really rile me up, especially since I can't do anything about it.

This, this is what pisses me off. I live 15 mins south of DC and whenever I'm driving through my own neighborhood headed home hoods glare at me. I've started obnoxiously waving at them, smiling, and yelling "HI, HI YOU"
 
false accusations.
suffocating noise of large crowds.
slow moving people on the sidewalk and the people who just stop right in front of you.
oh and people who don't acknowledge questions, feelings, or anything else for that matter...
 
My Bi-Polar that was diagnosed, when I was in my 20s, still haunts me, I hate it, The anger just comes over me like a wave I cant stop, and my family is caught in the wake of it. Anything can set me off, i argue for sport, why I don't know, I just feel like I am a caged animal that needs to get out. So what triggers my aggression, everything.
 
Running out of cannabis, basically. Then anything will trigger it until I make it through the shitty withdrawal week, or more likely just pick up more dope to be chill again without waiting.
