Anger can come from anywhere - from certain people or events, to even past memories.

But research shows that anger can negatively affect relationships and even lead to bad

Some studies show that anger can increase blood pressure, prolong reaction times, and

even impair decision-making., Researchers have even found an association between negative

emotions or anger and conditions like heart disease, bulimia, and type 2 diabetes.

And repressing anger can have bad consequences as well.

Anger suppression has been linked to anxiety, depression, hypertension, and high blood pressure.,

Despite all those negatives, expressing anger in a constructive way can actually be beneficial.

To help with this video I brought on my good friend SomethingElseYT.

ADAM: Did you put me in this video because you think I'm an angry person?

Research shows that in social situations expressing anger can actually increase an individual's

and even help them in negotiations or confrontations.

And psychologists have found that angry episodes actually helped strengthen relationships around

Due to an improved understanding of the person and problem.

But they note that only constructive anger expression between the two parties is beneficial

in which one person expresses their anger, in an assertive, non-aggressive manner,

and the other reacts appropriately to help solve the problem or concern.

In a small study on athletes, researchers found that performance in a physical task

was significantly greater for participants that were angry compared to those who were

happy or neutral before completing the task.

And while they didn't find any difference between the groups during cognitive tasks,

other research indicates that anger can actually boost creativity, though only for a short

So, what's the best way to express your anger?

Well, it turns out that ranting may not be the best choice, sorry!

As a study on rant-themed websites found that this just made people angrier.

And breaking stuff may not work so well either, again, possibly leaving you even angrier afterward.

So you can forget about replacing therapy with those Break Rooms.

But a popular method of managing negative emotions is through something called affect

which is when you put your feelings into words.

This can be done through talk therapy or even just by writing them down.

Research would suggest that this method may work by diminishing the emotional reactivity

Whatever the reason, studies have shown that it's an effective method of regulating emotions.

BLOCKO: A study on chronic pain sufferers found that

patients who wrote about their anger significantly increased their control over pain, decreased

their depressed mood, experienced a marginal improvement in their pain severity, and were

more likely to try to make sense of their emotions compared to those who wrote about

In addition to talking or writing about it, there are lots of healthy ways of dealing

You could take a break to let yourself calm down, try to solve the problem that caused

the anger, or release tension through relaxation or humor.,

And if you feel your anger is out of control or hurting your relationships, you can always

seek help through therapists and other medical professionals.

freshman year like any kid or teen starting school i had this mindset of "i need to act

a certain way to fit in" or "i need to like what everyone else likes to be cool and whatever".

An exhausting and annoying mindset to have because I could never express myself properly

without feeling as if i was doing something wrong.
