Is it normal for me to have inappropriate anger as a young adult?

I am 23 years old and I feel so embarrassed, because I behave like an older teenager and worse is I behave even more childish, due to mental health issues and Autism Spectrum Disorder.

It's unhealthy anger normal for someone with mental health issues regardless of age.

And it's also normal to have age inappropriate anger/behaviors/emotions/etc. when one is developmentally compromised.


By normal, I meant typical.
By typical, it meant it's something to be expected.
By something to be expected, meaning unsurprising.


Otherwise, any socially aware (self-other comparing) and motivated enough individual (wanting to be with or whatever) would typically be embarrassed about it.

That actually makes sense. I just feel guilty for talking about wanting to commit crime of passion on people who made fun of me in the past, to this day I think about the safety of the Internet, the consequences of my actions and I think before I post anything that may be against the law to do so. I acted on my anger on the computer, but threatening to commit crime of passion is not okay no matter how delusional I was thinking that it's justified.

Why have those thoughts to begin with?

Yeah, I get the appeal of vengeance -- hurt someone who hurt you, make them feel what you feel...

But the guilt is another thing.
It implies a degree of intrusive thought and/or being against the acts of violence.



But there would come a time that none of that is worth one's time, especially if the perpetrators aren't the ones you actually cared in your life.

That ever thinking about such people is a waste of time... Let alone act on it.

That is a good point to consider.

If you are being abused, even verbally abused than yes.

I'm not sure if anger can be healthy or unhealthy.
I think that you should listen to your feeling and understand where they come from, why something is hitting you. Fever is always a signal of something wrong. If you suppress it with a paracetamol, it may come again and again.
Unhealthy is not managing those feelings and not being slave of them
