How much do you connect anger and frustration with malice?

[SWAT One]

Just wondering.  My fiancée is going through some tough times.  She has reason to be upset be people that really threw her under the bus and are really just unpleasant people—what's more, she has to live with them.  I know that she has the capacity to be a very loving and caring person, but she gets angry sometimes (as we all do) and often connects this with wanting to do harm to those that cause her pain.

So I ask, as the question is stated in the title.  If you feel the need to express it numerically, use a 1-10 scale, 1 being almost abstractly disassociated, and 10 being directly correlated, if not excessively involved.

Well, it depends greatly on how someone has wronged me.
I won't lie, I do think about what I could do to others to get revenge.

But I've never gotten close to actually doing anything of harm, or causing damage.

[grunterdb1951]

I'm largely in the middle.

At times whenever I'm angry and under a lot of emotional stress, it's not too uncommon for me to imagine what I could or would do to individuals. But I am generally able to moderate these thoughts and keep myself into control. I'd say anger could largely influence it, but I think that's a case to case situation. Some people might connect anger to malice much more, and for some others it could be completely irrelevant.

I think that the more you're exposed to something that causes you discomfort, the more irritated you become with it, and with added and continuous contact with these things it's rather easy for that irritation to grow until it manifests itself in the form of hate, and so forth.

Then again, I'm no psychologist or what not.

But in simple terms, it depends entirely on the individual, but anger and/or emotional stress can largely influence malicious thoughts and feelings, and for some people it's easier to connect the two. After all, it's not uncommon in a lot of folks to connect anger with malice. At least not for the folks I'm around.

In a numeric scale, I'd put a 5 because it's largely dependent on the person, as I see things.

Not sure. I've never attacked anyone out of rage but I've got a lot of scars on my knuckles from punching stuff lol

Pretty sure I've got some gnar deep rooted anger problems. I have a tenancy to explode when disrespected. Never been to a shrink about it though.

Speaking only personally, I'm not a particularly malicious person. I do have some issues with getting angry but it's usually angry that I'm being ignored or I'm frustrated with something in which case sometimes I'll throw something or punch something etc but that's usually only because I know it'll make the person I'm upset with pay attention to me and know that I'm serious. I can admit that I've swung at my s/o before but it was never with the intention of hurting them it was more with the intention of letting them know that what they're doing isn't okay- which is not okay and I shouldn't do that ever!!!! But I never was like I'm going to punch him in the face it was more like he's being a richard maybe if I hit his arm he'll take me seriously.

Anger and frustration can put an emotional block on logic. Simple malicious actions such as beating the stuff out of someone in a blind rage or slashing their tires are usually the result of such blocks on logic. Other things, such as embezzlement or other similar actions are done maliciously but rarely in cases of anger.

I rate this a good seven.

I think they can be related, but more often than not they are independent of each other. It mostly depends on the person.

i pour water on my brothers when they intentionally make me angry

[KickFlow]

I can get extremely pissed off and angry. I want to resolve the anger with violence but I never have. Maybe I threw some stuff in a fit of rage but I've never caused harm to anyone because of it. I can get pretty in-depth when insulting someone so i might have caused emotional damage but I doubt it. I'm somewhat of a pacifist honestly. I've never swung first but if someone attacks me I've attacked back.

you too?

[Path]

I normally don't get angry and even if I do i never wish bad things upon people. I'm kinda that 'we're only human' person

[Tayasaurus]

I can get furious but I won't really do anything about it unless it's physically affecting me in a bad way. The moment you "touch" with any ill intent is when i bite.

Or if it extends into an invasion of privacy. Which i've actually dealt with a few weeks back.

I put 1. I am absolutely incapable of holding a grudge. The longest I've been mad at someone is about half a day. When I'm mad, mostly I'm just... mad in general, I guess?

To anger, revenge leads and to the dark side, anger leads.
