Should one apologize just for being angry?

Anger is a natural emotion and you shouldn't feel ashamed of feeling it. Don't try to control the anger, try to control your behavior when you are angry - there IS a difference between the two.

Lashing out in anger is different and not at all appropriate in ANY situation. Only people lacking in emotional maturity call people names or put them down when when they are pissed off.

I don't get it.
why do people think others shouldn't be angry?
what the hell is wrong with that sentence?!
well, for one
Anger, is primal, primitive, and like many things
we claim to have outgrown, it is very much a part
of our genetic makeup, our blueprint
much like hormones, hunger and superficial horny'ness

if you think people can decide to be angry or not
or you go on youtube just to watch freak outs and tisk
or think that this is a typical angry man
"won't serve me chicken nuggits?!
screw this, I'm flippin out right here, right now"
you'd be wrong
because that's not anger
that's dear old stupidity overwhelming the mind
of a once reasonable human being
in much the same way as it does, when people say
Stop being angry,
you know what, stop falling in love
Stop disliking your ex
Stop being Happy.

Anger is a Freaking emotion
Its not everyday you stop and think
"hey, Imma go fall head over tits for that one"
No! same way people don't think
"Imma go on a drunken rampage through the street
which people will never let me live down,
and you know what, this time, I gonna do it over
the peanuts"
So unless your truly moronic enough to believe
that's what happens
stop trying to make a problem go away by pointing
fingers at people who flip out
because most of the time, their as much ashamed
of their actions as you are of witnessing them

it depends on your actions when you were angry. if you did something WAY out of line, apologize.

NO, because anger is normal n' everyone has anger, but if you do something really negative out of your anger, then yes, you should apologize.

I apologize, I just say "sorry I was in a bad mood"

I apologize for getting mad only when it was because I misunderstood something (like thought somebody insulted me). However, it's generally REALLY hard to get me angry.

I don't think anyone should ever apologize. If they are mad they are mad for a reason. If it is like someone stated before where they misunderstood something then don't apologize and if someone is mad at you don't be indignant. Just listen through the anger and hear the main idea so you can consider it. When people are mad they tend to defilter themselves and you can hear honest opinions (along with the anger) and it gives you an opportunity to learn and grow when someone points out something stupid you might of done. Moral of the story if you get mad your mad, so be mad, but approach it directly and don't bullshit around your point with low blows. If someone is mad at you don't get mad back, listen and hear their point through their bullshit and if the advice is good advice, in your opinion, then take it.

Anger is a natural emotion. Apologize to yourself, but never apologize to the person who made you angry... Never.

If someone provoked you somehow and then you yelled in their face, there's nothing with a mutual apology to patch things up between you and make you both feel better.

i get so mad sometimes i dont even know what happened. i feel really disappointed that i let it take over, and i feel guilty that my friends see me in such a state and so i apologise

I punish myself when I get angry.
I'd rather harm myself before harming somebody else.When I get angry I feel bad.
Because no matter how angry I get,people are always scarier than me.Even if they are not angry.

Some people get angry when they should feel sad, etc and it's fairly common, and they get angry way too often. In that case, definitively one should apologize. However if your anger has good reason, (you just found out you've been cheated on, or you found out your best friend stole your money. etc etc) then you shouldn't apologize because they f'd up.

fuck no!

depends whos it to and i think it shows what kinda of person you are depending on how you deal with the problem

I think you do have to appologize..if u realy did something wrong and if he/she doesn't know what he/she did than u do have to appologize..
If u dont want to lose him/heq..i once get angry with the 1 i loved n we end up ignoring each other for 2 month so i appologize n it makes thing better...

Ego is never worth it. If you get angry with someone, and you know you pulled a Ren (from Ren and Stimpy, look it up kiddies), then you have to take responsibility. I have a short fuse, so I learned the hard way. I'm also a redhead, meaning I have copper conducting in my hair (look it up). If you come too close to me I might zap you. Understanding this, I am now mellow.

Wow. This is fun. Might get all viewpoints in here (I hope I covered the bases adequately). I guess I'm more of a middle-of-the-roader. Luvvvvv Mr. Spock, though.
