Anger calms down like strong wind but many branches are already broken

We have seen people getting angry and breaking things in their own house or office. It doesn't always help but if you can do it without consequence... boy does that feel good! Anger is one of those high energy emotions, it gets you pumped and ready for fight or flight. This makes sense because in a natural setting you would probably need to defend yourself if someone pisses you off. You also see that in the brain, Epinephrine (aka adrenaline) and Dopamine is released when you are angry. So what do you do what that sudden urge of energy? You are ready to go! But you just lost at a video game or had a fight over the phone but oh yeah that's awkward.

But breaking stuff is a way to get rid of that energy and anger because you get to "fight" something. You get to physically punish something for the way you feel. Kinda like how you wanna hit the table if you hit your little toe, doesn't really teach that table a lesson, yet you feel better. Personally when someone manages to make me angry (which is extremely difficult) I just go for a run, run until my legs won't go anymore. It has the same effect of using that burst of energy you were given until all those chemicals in your brain wear off.

And you can keep it in if you want but I don't recommend that, stuff like that always comes out somehow. Just go for a run of do a brutal fitness routine to give that anger a direction, only side effect of that is a rocking body. Whenever anything does not happen the way we want it to, and we can't do anything about it, it creates anger inside you. Note that it is not the undesirable event itself that triggers anger, it is actually your inability to do something about it that makes you angry.

Your inability to make it right. In other words, your inability to impact. And it hurts your ego. Now when you break stuff, you are creating some serious impact on the physical level which serves as a consolation for your ego. It gives you a feeling that you are actually making some sort of an impact. Stuff breaks into pieces, makes a lot of noise while shattering and that gives a powerful impression of an impact. And it is actually good to do it in a controlled environment rather than bottling up your anger. Screaming out loud is another great alternative.

But when people do throw things out of anger it was an unconscious need to express that negative emotion. Imagine if you were too angry and you just sit comfortably. That anger would seem like pushing the angry person to move and act out that emotion. It would seem like your nostrils were pushing out smokes of anger because you did not express it. But because people, somehow, do not want to physically hurt someone they were angry with, they, instead, throw things. The intention to hurt was thus avoided.

Moreover, people do it consciously or unconsciously. But the same intention pushed them for throwing a thing that way. Actually, i knew the psychological effect of throwing things when angered by situations we have no control of. I did it before when i was so angry i need to express it, but not intending to physically hurt the individual. Usually, we wanted to get to the bottom of it, but if the person you were angry at did not with a discussion in what reason he cannot say I do not know what to feel but it seems anger was only escape.
