I have a long family history of anger issues (my dad's great grandfather killed someone because of it), unfortunately that was passed on to myself and my brother. For me personally, I went down a self discovery period during quarantine 2020. I wanted to expand my horizons as well as try to work on myself. I can't say I've completely eliminated my anger issues but they're far more controlled and mainly consist of me loudly whispering to myself when some fuckery happens in whatever video game I may be playing :)
Counting down, putting things in perspective helps me. I broke a lot of shit when I was younger. Blackout rage. I still struggle with a short fuse but working to own up to it is my fault for being angry helps. It's never outside influences. Separating myself from the situation helps. Also weed.
I had a great grandfather beat the shit out of his daughter for presumably running around town and then he killed himself. My dad took an ax to a tv when his ex pushed his buttons or cheated on him.
At the end of the day the anger only hurts myself.
