Is it normal that i get super angry when people offend me?

My temper flares when people I care about offend me or disagree with something I feel strongly about. I am good at keeping myself under control physically but I seldom have the same control over my mouth. I do not verbally abuse anyone but I will voice my position loudly and clearly along with my reason for my decision. Is that normal?

    Different people have different spans of control over that sudden 'rush' of anger, that makes them rasie their volume, or some might even succumb to their fists.

    It is understandable when you raise your voice to people around you, especially kins, say something or do something that you disagree of, or accuse you of something you have no done. This is because the closer you are to the person, the more likely you are to put your defense off guard, and show your true self and your true feelings.

    I believe that you are not only likely to get angry easily before your kins, but also more likely to cry or get emotional before them.

    And therefore I conclude that you are normal.

    I do not force anyone to see my opinion but if other people can voice theirs why is mine the straw that broke the camels back?

  • Most people have more control over their egos than you do, so I don't think you are normal.

    People are allowed to have different opinions than you. Were you seriously raised to believe that your opinion is THE opinion and everyone else should follow your lead? Whether or not you actually force people to see your way as the only way doesn't really make that much of a difference if it is burning you up on the inside.

    Please, get over yourself.

  • yeh same, this guy from my school who was really ugly and only wanted sex (and was obviously never going to get it the way he is going) told me that it would be a miracle if I would ever get a girlfriend.

    All it did was make me tell him that I was surprised that he had any friends at all, even though I'd known him well for 5 years
