Types of Anger - 4 Most Dangerous Anger Types You Should Avoid

Self-inflicted anger is was it sounds like. It is a form of anger that is expressed when someone is punishing themselves for something they may have done wrong. Over-eating, starving themselves, and inflicting wounds by cutting themselves are examples of this kind of anger.

It goes without saying, how dangerous this can be if it goes on for too long.

Behavorial Anger is the type of anger consisting of aggressive and cruel actions. It leans mostly on the physical side. It usually starts as an attack towards someone or something that caused the anger in the first place.

Those who normally get labeled as trouble makers, start fights, and are defiant fall under this umbrella.... and sometimes, rightfully so. In the end, someone almost always gets hurt.

Judgmental anger is closely related to verbal anger, which is another type of anger. This type of anger makes everyone involved feel uneasy or causes self esteem issues for the victims. A person exhibiting this form of anger puts other people down and makes other people feel worthless as a person.

There are many adults walking around, who still have self-worth issues as a result of a parent using judgmental anger towards them when they were growing up.

Unpredictable... is the word that comes to mind when I think of volatile anger.

In so many words, this type of anger comes and goes. One minute someone can be calm and collected, and be in a full on rage, the next minute. It can grow into something bigger or go unnoticed.

I like to think that people who exhibit this anger tend to hold a large amount of things in... rather than expressing what may be bothering them in healthy ways. If a person suppresses something long enough, eventually it will be expressed in ugly ways.

Sometimes it can be expressed verbally, and physically at other times. Volatile anger reminds me of a volcano before it erupts... you don't know when or what is going to set it off, or how big the eruption will be, but when it blows... watch out.

Those are the 4 types of anger that can cause the most harm to anyone expressing them on a regular basis. If you see yourself in one or more of these kinds of anger, all I can do is suggest you not let it go any further.

Try to identify what triggers you to get mad, and recognize when that trigger is tripped. You'll then be in a better position to handle anger in a healthier, more constructive, way.

As I mentioned before, there are actually 12 different kinds of anger. To find out what the other 8 types of anger are, see: 12 Most Common Types Of Anger.
