Anger is one of the numerous emotions we feel as humans, often as a result of displeasure or frustration caused by someone or something around us, I don't believe there is any sane or normal human that hasn't felt this emotion, because no matter or even introverted you are, you are bound to get upset at some point, so know that anger isn't an entirely bad emotion, but the way we react when angered and the result of such anger is what makes it bad, that is why some people tend to regret their action after the episode of their anger.

I used to be the kind of person who acted out my anger especially when it was coupled with stress or frustration, maybe it was immaturity at that point and I didn't know a better way to express myself.
There was one episode that got so bad that I ended up damaging something vital in a bid to express my frustration, yea, it got that bad, and at the end of it all I was full of regrets.
Though I was initially in the right position and had every right to be angry at what made me angry, but my very act of damaging something in the process of trying to express my anger made me not any different from the guilty person who offended me, and buying back what I destroyed cost me money also making me feel the heat of my anger as well, only then did I realize that the way we express ourselves when angry matters, and it isn't even necessary to always express yourself when angry especially when you know that you might not be able to control yourself and say words you might regret saying later.
Unlike before, I am better at managing my anger after devising mature ways to react when angry, one of the very first acts I'm conscious of is to stay silent and if possible get as far as possible from the environment causing the emotion, because the closer we are to the cause of our anger, the more we are tempted to react. When I'm a bit calm, I go to the person who offended me and explain my feelings to them and how their action caused it, this is very common among married folks, even close pals and family, we can't just stop talking to our loved ones because they made us upset, the reason why communication is vital so you feel liberated haven bared your mind, so it is left for them to change, apologize to you or not, because truth be told, you cannot force an adult to do the right thing or as you would prefer.
The point is you have disciplined yourself to stay above anger, even in the holy book, it is stated that "we shouldn't let the sun set over our anger", it doesn't say we should not get angry but says that we should not let ourselves get engulfed by this emotion for long because only then do we end up doing or saying silly things to each other.
