Reactions to Anger
All of this is because our body is preparing for fight or flight. Our emotional reactions, in addition to the anger, may include:
- Tears
- Sadness
- Pain
- Loneliness
- Depression
These emotional and physical reactions influence our behavior when we are angry (both how we act and how we express our anger). This might involve:
- Swearing
- Yelling/speaking loudly
- Talking faster
- Smashing things
- Calling people names
This, of course, affects the remaining dimension: the way that we experience the world and the treatment that we receive from others.
