To add to this anger is a secondary emotion that generally masks whatever emotion you don't want to feel at the time. Could be anything. Fear, anxiety, abandonment, frustration, sadness, etc.

I'm quick to anger because I'm more comfortable with it than other emotions. It's easier to get angry and punch holes in the wall than sit and think about how no one is answering my texts or how incompetent in certain areas I am (common things that happen to me).

That being said, I typically don't try and control my thoughts when I'm angry. I just try to physically get it out. I used to get violent, but now I'm more a "punch the mattress and scream into the pillow gal."
