Mine are physical threats on me and friends/family.
( and i dont mean just getting mad i mean wanting to smash something or someone)
 
I have a horrid temper, so pretty much anything. I bottle my aggression up, though, so I've never actually harmed anyone.
 
Basically anything I'm not emotionally ready to deal with... I also bottle it up alot, but when shit gets rough, I pop... I'm not violent against people or anything, but just get this rage and act like a total bitch :/

This. Except it's ANY kind of threat, insult, or any bad talking.

For me it's when my people (mainly my parents) back me into a corner and attack me and give me no way to defend myself, or if they try to intentionally make me mad, that just makes me madder.
 
everything really. If I'm eating dinner and someones making noises with their mouth I get infuriated. I get extremely pissed when people double dip. If someone asks me questions trying to pry into my life I get pissed. I never display my anger though.. I always conceal it and bottle it up. If I get really really pissed I just shut my mouth, keep a straight face and breath through my nose, and clench my jaw down. You can't really tell I'm mad. I never show my anger. If someone gets in my face and is talking shit, trying to fight me (which doesn't happen alot), I don't get physical, I just calmly stand my ground, show them I'm not afraid, and counter them with words (not insults) until they back down. This works really well, haven't gotten into a fight since high school cause I've gotten pretty good at this.

I really don't get mad when people are nasty to me, I kind of find it funny. People are rarely nasty to me though. If people insult me I take it joyfully (even though inside I may be pissed), I either agree with them and sismiss their insult as a joke, or I counter it with something just as insulting, but more or less seeming like a light hearted joke.

Too many video games wherein I shoot people. Taking basically any drug (whether during the effect or after its worn off). Having people so casually act like I'm not worth their respect (not texting me back, ignoring me--but this pretty much just makes me feel like calling it good night forever). Being out in public or around anyone and feeling inferior to them because I have this mental issue that they don't know the seriousness of and that I in the best world should have never had in the first place but due to reality and a dumb past of irresponsible drug use now face on a basis which increases and has basically made it come to each and every minute; the worst thing is that the mental issue causes a problem ten times larger than it which people laugh at me for but which is arguably the most painful thing that anyone has to go through in their life.
 
Threats of any sort I always take seriously and have found action is the only method to ensure my safety.
Pride - pisses me off to no end.
Ignorance - ignorance seems to follow hand in hand with hate, I see so much racial and sexual hate based on ignorant upbringings and ideals. I cannot stand people judging on others due to their appearance, be it weight or color or sexual preference - doesn't matter to me - this world is so full of judging and that really heats me up.
 
In all seriousness I got ordered to do anger management classes before and those classes made me infuriated, anyone have to do em? They fucking suck !!
 
^lol

I'm not normally an aggressive person. I don't anger easily at things people do, I'm not a person who is affected by road rage (I'm probably the person who creates it though). But times I do feel anger/aggression are when others tend to be angry and acting out in front of me. I can't process someone acting out around me (slamming doors, breaking things/acting like they are going to break something, short tempers) I tend to become aggressive myself towards the person acting aggressively.

I think it's stemmed from fear, I get scared when someone is acting aggressively in front of me and it creates an anger inside of me that I normally don't get.
 
Do you guys believe all anger has a root cause of fear ? I don't personally but I haven't given it ton of thought
 
I think that some aggression is normal. It means your endocrine system is working as intended.

It's just channeling that aggression which can be challenging. For me, I use softball and volleyball.
 
I'm with you Cyc, channeling that is. I compete w power lifting and aggression is a huge part of proper preparation.
 
For me its when someone is trying to take advantage of me and theyre not smart enough to do so with cunning, wits, and slyness that i realize it. Other people getting aggressive towards me triggers me, and also ignorance and debating/arguing with a closed mind. I consider myself an atomic bomb with a long fuse. Takes a lot to set me off, but when i do, i promise you its an explosive result. Lets just say that the dude who kept nagging me for my tray ended up getting a full tray of steaming grits slammed in his face. Motherfucker trying to get my little food in jail pissed me off. Last dude who tried to rip me off of some dope got stabbed by a 1.5 inch syringe in the hand too...
