How intense is your anger?

Anger is an emotion that every person has. There are numerous words that we use to describe anger which often also conveys the intensity. Words for anger that wes use can be: mild irritation, frustration, resentment, anger, hatred, and rage.

When anger is too high then those who internalize will take the passive-aggressive approach and will develop high blood pressure, an ulcer, walk out unexpected on a loved one, give the cold shoulder, use isolation, gossip, use veiled insults or snap with their words. Whereas the aggressive individual will scream, yell, throw things, slam doors, break things, become physically, verbally, and emotionally abusive to people.
