I have a very short fuse, especially when I am personally offended.

No, I don't get angry easily. It takes a lot to make me angry usually...

Unless I'm being overloaded with stimuli - in that case I can lose it quick, but as soon as it goes away (the overstimulation - loud / multiple voices / noises, not enough personal space would be the triggers...), I calm down and don't feel angry about whatever straw broke the camel's back anymore.

Yes, I do.

Moreso online, offline most of the time i'm just joking around. When someone tries to argue with me i'll probably just laugh at them or not react, but I am guilty of getting mad at offline people a few times.

Yes, and No.

I get irritated easily, though I have learned to scrape off most issues. I know I am easy to set off, so I compensate.

Unfortunately, I also have a tendency to ignore something until I am utterly freaking outraged, at which point I blow like a volcano, and all sense of reason and logic goes out the window. It never helps, but that doesn't register until later.

It tends to pass fairly quickly, and I usually feel bad. Quite often because I realise that I am being unreasonable, and then there's the fact that I am not a small man and some people who see me angry often become afraid. I find this silly because I'm not violent-- I'm actually terrified of hurting people-- but they persist in being afraid.

Usually what sets me off is when my sense of justice is offended, particularly when I'm the wronged party. Sometimes it's just ridiculous... here's an example. I'm a big Harry Potter fan, and have read (or listened to the audiobooks of) all the books several times, but I have problems getting through the fifth book. It's Umbridge-- it particularly hard to tolerate the character once you know the ending to the book, and the information she's had all along. I can't listen to that one while driving.

Yes I do get angered easily very easily, especially with people with very narrow minded and bigoted views. People like our Australian morning radio presenter John Laws, who grovels to the rich and spits on the poor. When I get mad I go rigid then tighten my jaws and sometimes run a mad dash from nowhere to nowhere just to let off a bit of steam.
Just as well I never listen to John Laws on the morning radio any more.

If someone walks too slow in front of me I get extremely frustrated. I also find that I grind my teeth even during the day.

When I'm angry, I usually replay what's causing my anger over and over in my head and I sometimes comment on it to myself constantly which is not really kind of me when I'm around people who are completely innocent or do not deserve output of my anger. Like, when my uncle was on my aunts IM account, I messaged believing I was talking to my aunt and instead it was my uncle and he was stressed out from shopping online and threatened to block me. Afterwards, I was angry and would replay that over and over in my head and some bystanders thought I was angry at them when I wasn't...

Well, I do not go into emotional fits or violent outbursts, meaning I won't suddenly start yelling immediately at something offensive or start causing physical harm since my mind needs time to amplify the problem. Usually by the time I'm fully angry, the person has forgotten about the incident or the conversation has moved on beyond discussion upon the subject.

I usually tend to judge people who hastily react in violent outbursts of anger as idiots since they usually aren't even cohesive in their arguments, instead relying on fear, obligation, and guilt manipulation tactics on me. I usually spite them and then avoid such people since life is too short to be wasting my time trying to appease them. Calming them down only temporarily lessens their violence since they'll just do/say mean things to me for an extended period afterward which is abusive. -_-

I'm convinced you can't offend me. I don't get angry about words, it's actions. I normally don't get mad but once I do my sister can tell you that I am a whole other person. Sometimes I get angry and it goes away but other times it builds and I scare people. I scare myself.

But...I try to calm myself down.

In the past I repressed my drive and anger so long, when I snapped this anger was beyond comprehension, beyond control.

I'll never do that again, and the anger is very rare now, because when I drive myself, and don't stop working/learning, I don't seem to get mad at all.

I've tried many things, but the only way to save myself from rage is to drive myself every single day.
