Active Anger Symptoms
December 29th, 2007
Unlike its sibling passive anger, active anger is quite easy to diagnose, and in some ways, more easily treatable. The effects of an active anger problem are not well tolerated in most civilized societies. Unlike people with subtle passive anger problems, those with active anger management issues make it impossible for them to be ignored.
There are many different manifestations of an active anger management problem. However, they are all fairly easy to see even by someone not intimately familiar with the individual who has the problem.
The most easily diagnosed active anger symptoms, and possibly the most unsettling, include giving threats, bullying others, and showing signs of destructive behavior.
Individuals use threats to get what they want, or just to assert dominance. Threats do not necessarily need to have a reason to exist, but can be used simply as a way of intimidating another person into submission for the pure joy of the person who has anger management problems.
