According to an article I read today, getting angry more than once every few weeks is risky. The author talked about the dangers of habitual anger, an undercurrent of bitterness that never really leaves you. She suggested that people who get angry a lot might have learned unhealthy behaviour patterns, such as attempts to control loved ones.

That made me curious. I think most of the people I know would say they get angry several times a week.

How often do you feel angry?

Bonus questions: What happens when you feel your temper rising? How far will you let yourself go before you disengage?
