Anger that is kept bottled up can affect your feelings and perception to various life challenges and realities. You may begin to feel unhappy and lose interest in things you used to take pleasure in, such as hobbies, school and, friends. Generally, negative emotions decrease our ability to reason. This happens because the brain is more focused on the emotional state of sadness or anger that is being felt instead of concentrating on making decisions or finding creative solutions.
During the angry moment, you may do or say something you know is not right, things you know you will later regret. Amidst the tempest, you feel driven on and your inner man keeps telling you it is wrong, but you cannot just stop. Before you realize, the deed is done, you have hurt somebody you cherish, pushed them away, you need to fix the past, but you cannot.
By making the effort to keep your anger in check, you and the people close to you will be happier in the long run. When expressing anger assertively, in a non-aggressive but constructive way, you are affirming your needs without hurting your family and friends. Learning to manage your anger will help you to reduce both your emotional feelings and the psychological arousal that anger causes.
