What makes you Mad?

[Sanctum]

As INTP anger or any strong emotion doesn't come often, but there are bound to be some moments of anger in our lives. What makes you guys angry and why. For example me personally, i rarely get angry. I consider myself a very tolerant person, but one of the things that make me angry is persistence. Not persistence in a good way but like if someone wants something from me and they keep asking for it after i said no, that pisses me off. Also people who try to pose themselves as intellectuals but completely fail. People who pose discussions that seem really forced to sound smart or intellectual.

 

[ayn]

Well I work at subway... And I'm VERY good at my job..
The one thing that probably makes me maddest is when I am "working the front" alone (doing meats, veggies, and cash) and efficiently, and then a girl comes to "help me" from the front and slows down my entire assembly line.. -____-''

I also get very mad when my work is messy. I think I'm just a perfectionist at work though, because at home if anyone tries to tell me to clean my apartment I get incredibly irritated. I've actually had fights with people when they've tried to help me clean because I find they always start nit-picking on how messy I keep things..

When I realize someone is manipulating me (or attempting to) or when someone is completely void of logic then I get pissed as well.

The only time I've actually flipped right the fuck out was when one of my ex boyfriends called me a hypocrite for having hurt feelings after he swore at me a couple of times for no reason because I had said "fuck you" to him a few weeks prior in a heated fight.

Gossip and unfairness really fucking make me mad too.

 

[A22]

People.

Nah, pretty common stuff.

People that don't show up to appointments and people that wake me up for no (important) reason is probably what angers me the most. I could kill.

Lack of sleep also makes me get mad at everyone. People not understanding simple things used to make me angry at them. Today I'm EXTREMELY patient.

 

[Reluctantly]

I don't know and that's starting TO MAKE ME MAD.

*flips table into wall and roars*







I don't get angry much anymore. If I do, it's because of temporary frustration more than anything else. But I consider that more of an instinct; I guess I try very hard not to be angry, but it seems like most people do because being angry isn't really a positive feeling.
I've wondered if anger is a small pain response in itself that overrides other pain and let's a person act against what is hurting them. But it seems like anger in modern culture just prolongs pain; there's no survival involved in its use, only humiliation and possible punishment for causing any destruction.

Society always ends up seeming so counter-intuitive, no matter how I look at it and yet here we are in one, just as most of the rest of the world.

 

[Amagi82]

I have been truly angry probably 3 or 4 times in my life. I get annoyed frequently.

It takes an enormous effort on someone else's part to get me truly angry- constantly berating me over a mistake I've made, over and over and over in a loud voice, while I'm having a bad day, seems to be enough to do it.

Last time I was angry, I punched a hole through a door, pounded a car part with a sledgehammer with all my might while screaming "DIE DIE DIE!" at the top of my lungs, then went outside and punched a telephone pole until my hands were coated in blood. I realized about 45 minutes later that my right hand wasn't typing properly. A trip to the hospital the next day identified I had fractured my 4th metacarpal in 4 places.

You do NOT want to see me angry. Fortunately, it takes an absurd effort to get me to that point.

 

[Chronomar]

Not that much anymore. If anything, when I want to do accomplish something, think I should do something, but then don't do it. That results in this kind of apathy anger thing which currently ranks 2nd as the worst among the Least Favorite Uncontrolled Emotions. We call these LFUEs (L'fues) around here, in my head.

 

[Pyropyro]

Hmm...
I think this is more on the annoyance level. But I really get pissed off if they fail in a relevant aspect of my life.

1. Attention seeking behavior then failing to deliver the goods
2. Basking in glory for poor or absent contributions to the work
3. Sense of entitlement is higher than sense of responsibility
4. Cutting down people through verbal abuse to "improve" one's status

 

[P.H.]

I actually haven't been angry in a long time, just pissed off. And I've never vandalised anything while angry. When I'm at that point of anger I destroy the person who angers me verbally. Somehow I always find people's weak spots and when I'm mad, I know what to say to effectively hurt them. (I really hate this part of me though, and through the years I've learned to direct my anger differently.)

Things that piss me off are:
Injustice, like when somebody gets scolded for nothing, or the opposite, when somebody gets praised for nothing.
People who are trying to be intellectual, but don't know shit.
People who trust false authority. (Actually the people themselves aren't the ones that piss me off, just the fact that somebody trusts it.)
People who judge
When somebody says something, but does something else.

I have this skill too.. I manipulated everyone I knew from age 5-13 because I was so quick to figure out how to control and hurt them. Never realized it was corrupt, evil behavior until I got a little older. I got abusive towards myself once I realized how badly I had hurt people by trying to get my way. I'm sure you weren't as extreme as me, but I know how bad it feels to really hurt someone.

Injustice, like when somebody gets scolded for nothing, or the opposite, when somebody gets praised for nothing.

This is a biiig one for me. I've actually gotten fired from my job before because the manager was doing this and I stood up for the little people.



@Amagi82 ; I really enjoy your avatar.

 

[eagor]

i do get annoyed when people say lotion, creams or ointment near me.

but what really pisses me off is when im having an argeument with someone and i refute there point, so what do they do? they cling to their "ideals" even though a monkey could tell it's complete bunk.

 

[Amagi82]

@Amagi82 ; I really enjoy your avatar.

Thanks.

 

[Cognisant]

I also get very mad when my work is messy.

You've probably never made me a sandwich but on behalf of all the people who never had the time, thank you, I eat subway, I appreciate the effort when someone doesn’t just make me a sandwich but makes it well, done well and quickly is even better.

People who give waitresses a hard time because the meals took too long or didn't arrive at the same time or some other petty thing, they make me mad, seriously does it really matter? And people who just have to give the cashier at whatever store their snide remark or two cents about how this or that ought to be done better, look if it's really an issue write a letter to the people who run the company or at least ask for a store manager to tell it to, don't give a hard time to people who are powerless to do anything.

Those sorts of pathetic people annoy me.

 

[MissQuote]

Persistently being bugged to talk about my feelings when I don't want to.

Being demanded upon to fix someone else's feelings but then having them refuse every method that seems reasonable to me. I can listen to your feelings. I can give logical empathy- I'm not going to feel what you feel but i can understand what you feel and tell you I honestly do not wish you to feel that way, sometimes my heart may really go out and I will feel sorrow for you, but don't act like I do not care because I am not feeling, or making a display of feeling what you are feeling, that just isn't the case. I can help you reason through them and and see everything in all objective aspects. But I cannot take your feelings unto myself and become them to make them leave you. 9 times out of 10 to do so would be nothing but fake on my part and extremely draining for me. Not being able to do this does not mean I do not care, but having it insisted that I do not care over and over will eventually cause me to be blow up angry.

General injustice.

Persistent purposeful stupidity.

Being fucked with as soon as I wake up.

Not ever being given any space.

 

[MissQuote]

Being told that I must not really be sorry if I am not feeling overwhelming guilt/shame/sorrow/panic etc.

My knowing I am wrong because I am wrong should be good enough to prove I am sorry.

 

[Lot]

I've had an anger problem since I was a young teen. My last car was covered in dents. My old bed room was covered in holes. My angry outbursts have come very close to getting my ass kicked as well. I once spit on a steroid body builder guy's car. That almost didn't turn out well for me. New Yorkers take their cars pretty seriously turns out. My arrogant comments to people physically stronger than me have gotten me into some sticky spots. Lucky for me I'm nice to most people and I know a lot of people that will stand up for me. (Then again my life is boring and uneventful. So maybe the scary times leave more of an impression.)

It took me some time but I learned to keep my comments to myself and smoke tobacco when I start getting stressed out. I mostly get angry at work now.
1.Too many adult-children working in food services.
2.Nobody taking their job seriously.
3.Mean/disrespectful customers

Sucking at a video game and dying a lot also makes me mad. After an hour of sucking, all that you'll hear from me is a slew of vulgarities. Game rage!

 

[Peripheral Visionary]

I have this skill too..

I too have this ability, and have suffered painfully for it through irreversibly lost relationships. If anyone else has this mutant superpower, work on tempering it right now.

I can take a heap of abuse myself, but I get enraged when I see someone else being unfairly abused.

Mostly I get angry when I feel pressured to do something I don't want to do.

I get angry at myself for getting annoyed at things I should just let slide.

I get angry at myself for sometimes falling into the human tendancy to look for scapegoats.

 

[GYX_Kid]

I have limited respect for people who seem unable to question their reality and their viewpoint of it, who'd rather win an argument than come to a greater understanding even if it means second-guessing or criticizing themselves. Such people can be an endless source of frustration, if they have to be gotten through to reach anything important.

Then if you get frustrated, they can just play their blame game and point out how crazy you look, which apparently has something to do with how right they are in comparison. Or they might go the other way, and see the craziness as an actual contest that they have to win, so they'll just take it as a blunt ego threat and "fire back harder."

Yeah I hate that. I made a mistake and I said I'm sorry I don't want you crucifying me for it especially for small stuff. The thing is when they do, I sometimes feel just the opposite of sorry then.

Being told that I must not really be sorry if I am not feeling overwhelming guilt/shame/sorrow/panic etc.

My knowing I am wrong because I am wrong should be good enough to prove I am sorry.

I won't give a completely robotic apology but I will always be sincere with it even if I don't show it. I'm not going to drop to my knees and repent because I feel soo guilty about it. I don't want to have to prove it for it to count.

This is one of the most primitive things a person can do. I don't get upset about it anymore. The thing I've realized is that people are capable of self-reflection but the problem is the desire to win a "screaming match" takes priority over reason.

There are many things that annoy me but not much truly angers me as I'm extremely tolerant.

I really don't like it when people get in my space.
I hate it when I fail at something I'm good at, I'll start raging and making excuses because of it.

The whole "stop getting upset/emotional/being irrational" thing (being female that is how most people who play this game respond to my frustration) somehow pointing out that they have irritated you makes them the winner in their heads. It is particularly annoying because usually the only reason for the frustration is their irrational behavior or language or inability to think outside of their own experience and pre-set idea . I am more than willing to have a calm discussion and exchange if they would just stop with the whole one of us needs to win thing.

 

[Bronzere]

What makes me mad is that some people just cannot aknowledge their own faults, even if it is as obvious as Rudolphs nose. Nor can they accept that they could ever be wrong. Such as; one of my neighbours tried to convince me that a particular beach was white sand, and of course, it is not, it is black sand and has been every time I have been there ( a decent amount). When he felt he was wrong, he said it was half white, half-wit more like. I concluded he has never been there.

Also, I have a brother. He is younger than me, and is going through puberty. He knows not what kindness means. I seriously try to be kind to him, but he fails to aknowledge it. He does everything in his power to cause some kind of conflict, or he does without knowing (not likely) and usually responds to me picking this up with "what are you on about?", I know he is intelligent, well at least smart, and he has every clue about what is going on. So, I assume he relishes conflict from his behaviour, he denies it. *facepalm*

I like to think I am a calm person, because, in most situations I am. But he fills me with a rage like no one else. I get so angry. I never damage things, even if I feel the need, my mind diffuses the bomb. I stick with attempting to crush the metal doorknobs in my house, none have dents, yet.

 

[Nibbler]

I was just driving home just now and thinking on a topic I recently discussed with a biologist: The move Expelled. It was rife with intellectual dishonesty. And I was thinking as I was driving that I don't have many buttons but a lack of intellectual integrity is one.

It comes in the form of:

-Sexist comments which both sexes are guilty of.

-Racist comments for which the speaker's race is guilty of.

-Creationism and basically anything the Discovery Institute issues. You know, god-of-the-gaps thinking.

-Replying to a well thought comment with an insult or changing the subject to avoid having to respond.

-etc.

Intellectual dishonesty in all forms it can come in pisses me off because there is no way to reply to it with intelligence to further the progress or understanding between to people or parties. Even if we still disagree, at least respond with something you sincerely think about the situation. Intellectual dishonesty's sole purpose is to keep things broken.

I hate that!

My little brother is a constant provocateur as well. He's 22 but he still acts like he's 16. Smart kid, but he spends all his time on /b/ and researching about drugs. He's a belligerent drunk, and alcoholic. He'll go out of his way to piss off people around him. I can't even count how many fights he's gotten in at parties. Now that I think about it. The common thing we share is our disdain of those we think to be stupid. I'v learned tact and patience, though. Little brothers man.

I'm unable to watch morning television/news because of the stupid shit they talk about on there.

Also all ESFJ's piss me off.

 

[Nibbler]

Also all ESFJ's piss me off.

I was thinking about this yesterday about myself, but "S" types in particular. What I find frustrating is that I perceive them as having come to conclusions based on unstable criteria. My favorite example for explaining people who "jump" to conclusions is the person walking down the street stumbling. An S would say, "Look at that drunk". An SJ would say "Look at that drunk. What a shame." The more cynical ones would further add: "If he gets hit by a car, it would serve him right."

I would say, "I wonder if that person is drunk or has a condition or is injured."

edit: And if I were watching the stumbling person with that SJ, they would say, "Oh, no. You're just naive. That person is a drunk."

And if it turns out they were right, it was only by blind ignorance, but they'll chalk that "made the correct call" up as vindication for their judgement. Really it's confirmation bias.

But notice neither one of us stopped to help.

Ok, the ESFJ would help for sure, but definitely not an ESTJ--he'd just call the cops.

 

[Ermine]

I hardly ever get angry, just annoyed or frustrated (yes there's a difference. When I'm frustrated, it's only because I'm still trying to understand the problem and resolve conflict. I'm willing to work with the source of conflict). Anyway...

Things that make me angry:
- people who hurt/ my friends and family (It's odd, I'm pretty good at forgiving people who hurt me. I just don't want to waste the energy carrying a grudge when it only hurts myself. But when I see loved ones being hurt and see them suffer with that, it's almost as if I was the one that was hurt)
- people who insist on things being black and white when they're just not
- when I accidentally hurt or upset someone and they won't tell me what I did wrong or even deny that I did anything at all (be open and frank, please!)
- People who cause trouble for no reason or for fun (like the aforementioned little brothers)
- when people assume things and refuse to be corrected
- people who blame my rare emotional outbursts or contrary attitude on PMS

 

[BigApplePi]

This: What makes you Mad?

I do get angry, but what is the cause? ... as if there were a way to explain it in a universal way.

I get angry when something fails to meet my expectations accompanied by an external human cause. Annoyance is low grade anger, not meeting the full anger requirement. Explosive rage is when the failure to meet my expectations is heaped up and up ... faster than I can look into it rationally.

If something fails to meet my expectations, what is going on?
(A) Are they reasonable?
(B) Are my expectations self-righteous?

I'm not sure (A) exists rationally. There would always be bias on my part but invisible to me during the emotion. Since emotions are transient (can't keep them up indefinitely), there is a chance to examine the event reasonably.

(B) There are two things that leave me angry today even though they happened years ago. I'm not angry all the time, just when I feel the pain of the event.
1. When my math notes of my favorite course were "stolen." I can't seem to forgive the person who took them. The taker of my notes was self-interested and I'm self-righteous about it.
2. When a car door double parked on a hill opened on my knee causing me permanent pain at times threatening my running and even walking as I get older. I can't seem to forgive the person who opened the door. The opener of the car door was self-interested and I'm self-righteous about it.

I can't tell you why I can't forgive. If the pain of these two events went away today instead of staying with me I might be able to. That would be what I would look for.

So you're saying if they hurt your loved ones, it's like hurting you, which you're easy to forgive so you easily forgive hurting your loved ones? Ha. j/k. I know what you're saying.

- when I accidentally hurt or upset someone and they won't tell me what I did wrong or even deny that I did anything at all (be open and frank, please!)

Agreed. People who hold onto transgressions are saving them in an arsenal to use later. I had a roommate like that once. I might have asked he pick his towels up from the floor. Then he said I should stop bringing up stuff because he doesn't bring up stuff that I do that bothers him. **Then he started naming stuff.** Manipulative fuck. So now I have to live with dirty towels on the floor because he saved up ammunition and fired it all at once?

I asked him why doesn't he just say so at the time. He replied they're not a big deal though. So why the fuck are you aiming them at me?

Sometimes I hate people.

Seriously, the situation I pointed out was not so serious but it's an example of what you deal with. People who won't tell you the problem now are saving it up to mind-game you later.

 

[Code_Name_Ozz]

This post should be titled, "What DOESN'T make you mad". For me, that's a much shorter list.

 

[Oedipus]

If I'm talking to my friend and we're standing up facing each other she grabs my hand when she's making gestures in the air, or grabs both of them and moves them around if she's excited. When I brought it up she said that I'm the one grabbing her hands, and every so often while she's doing it she'll drop them and say "See, Coleen, it is you that does it!" or "Oh my god, stop holding my hands!"

 

[Odyne]

Purposeful Delusion and Victim Mentality.


There are other things, but in comparison to those two they become mere minor sources of annoyance.

 

[GYX_Kid]

Purposeful Delusion and Victim Mentality.

Well condensed.

Obviously everyone else other than schizophrenic narcissists are superior to schizophrenic narcissists, though. Understandable why it's maddening, but it can also just be used to mirror their default bullshit ethos and feel superior to them on autopilot.

Honestly, a lot of my frustrations stem from myself. Like when I just cannot manage to get my point across to other people, despite a solid understanding of the topic. It's hard to say whether it's actually my fault or theirs, but the outcome is the same regardless.

I also found it incredibly frustrating when my mother started taking my general good-natured obedience for granted and proceeded to just assume that I would do things like vacuum the inside of her car. It wasn't even the task that turned me sour, but the fact that she would "ask" me by say things like "so when are you going to clean my car?" No please or thank you. Just make yourself useful. This was all underpinned by the whole "still unemployed six months after college, clearly you should be trying harder" thing.

Sigh... getting myself worked up just thinking about it.

Let's just say it was a good time for me to move out. A double-dose of xSTJ wears down on you after a while.

SJs are really bad at accurate perception. What's worse is that once they get that idea in their heads they stand firm on it. I've been called a know-it-all countless times just for contesting them. I'm always outnumbered (among the other 3 SJs in my family) so I gotta hear "It's 3 against 1" or "So 3 people are wrong and you're right?" Nothing is more frustrating than knowing all along that I'm right but can't prove it to the close-minded SJ. I've even resorted to naively teaching my family some basics of typology to get them to see. Obviously it didn't work. They have zero patience for any of my intellectual blabber, which is also frustrating.

[Words]

The SJ's I've met aren't so unreasonable, particularly the ISTJ's. I question them and they're able to see my side of things. They're Si-doms so I think that affects their desire to be consistent. This one is a bit strange too, but, based on my experiences, they, tend to respect you(TiSi) the fastest for some reason. Some ISTJ's look at me as an authority, something I don't deserve but it does remove the need to argue. I also find it easier to communicate with them as oppose to NiSe or SeNi types.

I guess I should qualify my previous posts. My parents are both great parents. We get along in most cases, and my ISTJ dad will make an effort to mediate in the event of an argument. Unfortunately, this thread's about the bad, not the good. :P

 

[Panopticon]

1. My poor communication skills(I just dont do myself justice sometimes. Leads people to misunderstand me as either angry, irrational, illogical, or misinformed. BAH)

2. Slow drivers(I'm always running late for just about everything)

3. Being interrupted while I'm in the middle of saying something.

4. People who bitch about everything, and consider me a good ear to spout their blatherings to......when in fact I dont fuckin care about anything their are saying. I try to reply with "And the jews thought the holocaust was bad" to indicate that.

5. Gadgets that arent working properly usually get a good smash on the floor. I am a very violent person when it comes to inanimate objects.

6. Everything else that isnt weed, sex, and music.

 

[IdeasNotTheProblem]

-When people complain about everything,
or yell at someone when the person is clearly not at fault.(especially if that person happens to be me!)
-prejudice
-(agree with many of you) Communiction skills. My inability to convey my ideas/emotions be it in a timley or effective way. I can't stand being misunderstood.
-Moreover, my inabilty to express this anger. Usually, the angier I get the quieter I become. Close friends tend to notice this. and that's annoying too
Example: If some d-bag yells at me for something i didn't do and pisses me off. Ill bottle up until things settle down. It's only then when I know exactly what I should've said or done... "Oh yeah! The Jerk store called!"

Is any of this relevant?

- Over emotional people - unpredictable and don't jibe
- People in general - they want something different
- Ignorance - no help when you need it
- Arrogance - cook them for breakfast
- Lack of intelligence - they take your valuable time
- People - they are obstructionists
- Religion - they don't believe what you do
- People - they are pushy
- Narcissism - too narrow
- Materialism - no intuition

 

[Tony Master]

Let me see:

Not sure if I posted in here already a long time ago or not, but things that currently make me mad:

-Lying
-Trying to get me to do something I clearly said no to
-Asking for advice when you really just want someone to support your decision (guilty)
-Whining about the consequences of a decision you are making/made (specifically when advice that I have given clearly removes those consequences)

When something happens I failed to predict that injures me that I could have predicted. Those are two (three?) things. If it rains and I get wet, I'm not angry if I guessed it might rain. If it rains and I didn't think it would, I could be disappointed and not angry or angry if I thought I should have done better at paying attention. Who is to blame for this? My rationality failed me.

This leaves out unpredicted injury by other people as opposed to natural events. What about that?
