Would you get mad if someone said you had an anger problem?

Yes I would be fucken pissed off. Then that would prove that they are right, and I’d get even more mad.

~Who are you calling mad? What the freak? What did I ever do to you?
Compassionate my ass!

fuck you asshole! what are you implying??

I’m not some little prissy whiney girly man, when I’m pissed I’m pissed and damn proud of it. well Hell, if you’re too much of a pansy ass to kick some ass, you just ain’t American.

Maybe, because it’s not true and I hate it when people say things about me that aren’t true. Though maybe I would just foresee the irony in it and avoid getting angry. I would still point out that it wasn’t true.

It depends on the situation. I find that, as a woman, I am often accused of being “hysterical” or “getting upset” when I am not getting any more upset than an average man would. What always ticks me off the most, is that it’s most often women who foist this false “hysteria” on me. Actually it’s most often doctor’s office assistants who don’t respect my rights as a patient. Which gets me even more ticked off. To be perfectly honest.

Yes, but because I love irony.

I’d cut a bitch.

Nah, I’d probably be anywhere between amused and introspective, depending on how highly I thought of the person’s opinion.

Yes. To characterize something as “an anger problem” is to trivialize the problem, and invalidates feelings of anger. It amounts to saying, “Oh, your feelings are of such-and-such a type. You are crazy in that sort of way, and we can make you fall in line again by treating you in a prescribed manner.” It’s infuriating because people who say those sorts of things never have a real understanding of your reasons for feeling the way you do.

Nope, I don’t get pissed off, I get even.

I hate it when people report the obvious….wtf, did you think I didn’t already know that? And you aint seen nothing yet, and its not a problem for me, so hold your fucking comments until I explode….and when I do, I’m taking you out with me. Try and manage that. Geez, some people…..wtf

No. I’d laugh. Because if someone said that to me, it would be a joke.

I cannot honestly answer this question, because it does not apply to me, and could never happen. However, when a person truly wants to find out what they can do to make their life better, and they are told they have an “anger” problem, one would hope they would respond favorablly to that assessment. What I’m saying is you can’t assign such a label to someone and expect it to help, but if they have asked for help, it might lead them to a solution.

@whatthefluther don’t you just want to slap the person in the face with a rubber chicken (for dramatic effect) and go DUH Captain Obvious, are you that stuiped?

This question cracked me up!

Rubber chicken? LMFAO

@brinibear….You bet….and follow the rubber chicken slap with a swift kick to their balls so that they too can experience that delightful little emotion we call anger. See ya…..wtf

Are you talking to me?

Who has an anger problem?!

In seriousness though- if I had an anger issue I think it would depend strongly on your timing in telling me and who you are to me.

It would have to be at a time when I was not frustrated or spooled and was relaxed and undisturbed. It would have to be approached without confrontation and by someone who knew me that I respected.

I think that If approached like that the chances of having a person with anger issues blow up would be reduced.

Also if the person with the anger problem was a drinker they would have to be sober.

Great question- clever too.

Oh hell yeah, I’d get plenty mad but the hurt wouldn’t show on the outside. Why?

‘Cause I’m a karate man! And a karate man bruises on the inside! They don’t show their weakness. But you don’t know that because you’re a big Barry White looking motherfucker! So get outta my face!

I’m actually very mellow and down to earth in real life and I have a really slow fuse. To know me is to love me. It’s just that I saw an unavoidable opportunity for humor here and I had to take advantage of it.

I’d either be really confused or, like @tinyfaery, I’d laugh because it would have to be a joke.

What did you just say,punk!!???!! :(
I’d be really mad and i wouln’t wanna hear that,ever!
Dont mess with me :)

It depends on what mood I was in when they said that. I’d be more apt to burst into tears than to become enraged.

Nope, as long as I am honest with myself. I would try to see your point of view.
But, in the end. You either take me for who I am. (your perception) Or move on.

If someone said I had an anger problem, I’d question their sanity. Either that, or check into a mental hospital. Anger scares me, and I don’t like it at all! If I had a problem, that would be a sign of something very, very wrong.

No, it depends on the situation. In some situations I do have an anger problem to them but that’s only their perspective – I believe plenty of situations warrant an ‘anger problem’

i would punch them in the face.

just kidding.

No because I know the truth and I do have anger issues. It doesn’t matter much that I deal with them constructively most of the time, they are still part of who I am and I feel better owning up to it and giving the person making the observation credit.

No, because I do and I own up to my faults and mistakes.
