10 Stages Of Anger
Psychology Today

Having a short temper has its positives and negatives. Actually more negatives than positives. The one positive is that people will never take advantage of you because they are scared of you half the time. They do not know when you will reach your boiling point and burst into a fiery stream of anger. The ten stages of anger escalate very quickly. It is only natural to reach the next stage. Anything can tick these people off, a weird look or even the smallest comment can set them to the level of rage.

1. Bothered.

When something in a situation bothers you, you can't help it. This is the stage when you roll your eyes in the back of your head. You just can't deal!

2. Mild irritation.

This is the stage when you know you are right because you always are anyway. But other people may be questioning you. You may show this face.

3. Annoyed

This is the stage where you do not care what other people think. You are you, and that is the way it will stay. This stage may include some sassy hair flips and uncontrollable eye rolling.

4. Indignation

This stage is the first step to confrontation. You may not be able to use your words, but do not fret the other person will get the message.

5. Frustrated

This stage is about trying to take your anger out on inanimate objects because you can't do it on the real thing. This is a socially accepted stage.

6. Infuriated


Next, is the stage where there is uncontrollable screaming. It may not be to anyone, but it helps contain your anger. Warning, you may lose your voice.

7. Hostile

This stage is also about using inanimate objects... to hurt someone. It helps because you personally do not have to get your hands dirty.

8. Wrath

This stage is all about threatening someone. But don't be fooled, these may or may not be empty threats. Who knows?

9. Fury

This stage is when you go a little too far. This is when your threats come to life. Warning, you may or may not feel guilty.

10. Rage.

This is the final stage of anger. This is where you go full hulk mode. There is no going back after this stage. The damage is done.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
