Is it normal to feel an urge to hurt people when angry?

I just get so mad sometimes I shake and could literally punch someone in the face. I dont think i would ever, ever have the guts to act out on it but i just get this rush when im really mad about something. Im a girl if it even makes a difference?

I also get mad over stupid things and sometimes think i try and make myself mad. Is this normal?

    It doesn't take guts to punch someone in the face. All it takes to punch someone in the face is poor impulse control.

      And the willingness to get punched back. I think that's what she meant, by not having the guts to actually do it.

        Yeah, it's funny though how many people want to punch others, but are afraid to take a punch themselves.

          Why are you making it seem like im a coward? I dont want to punch people, i wouldnt want to hurt anyone ever. I just hve urges to and im afraid ill lose control of them eventually.

            Sorry if I misinterpreted your post. If those urges continue you had probably better get some help from a professional.

    It doesn't take guts to punch someone in the face when you are furious. It takes guts to not punch someone in the face.

    You need to get rid of your anger in a constructive way
