I have the same issue. I also have the patience of a saint so in a situation where I know I'm gonna get mad and loose it, I bottle it up until I'm shaking and the other person thinks I'm shaking with fear but I'm actually getting filled with adrenalin ready to attack. After seeing a psychologist, I now understand that A. I have an anxiety disorder brought on by being bullied to the point that my mind refuses to relax and B. This has triggered an over active fight or flight response. Basically, I hold it in cause I'm anxious of what may happen until I snap and the fight instinct kicks in and hell breaks loose.
Best thing I learned to do was just walk away. Bad situation, walk away. Someone in your face, walk away. You getting angry for any reason, just walk away.
In fact if someone's purposely trying to wind you up, laugh at them, it winds them up instead and can get quite amusing lol
Also, to vent built up bottled rage, I do boxing. I get to punch the shit out of a bag every day of the week and feel amazing afterwards. You'll walk out of that gym like nothing can bother you. Even fighting another person is fun but I don't like hurting people so I mainly stick to the bags or pads.
In that I'm a very nice guy but have uncontrollable anger at times?
