Do you cry when you're angry ?

Question

I've always been bad at expressing my emotions especially anger, I never like showing people how I am when I'm angry (I don't even like the word 😂) and I shut down and answer with very short and cold sarcastic comments, if I'm in the position of arguing with someone for a while and I'm at my breaking point, instead of expressing myself and standing up for myself, I end up crying from wanting to actually rip them apart. It's like so much anger just swells up and instead of being thrown out very violently, I just cry to the point of hyperventilation and people think I'm weak etc -.- It's so embarrassing. What are some stories of your (or another person's) experiences with crying out of anger?

Answer

I don’t hyperventilate but I am with you on crying from anger....that’s fine if people see it as me being weak...they can see me how they want to....it’s better than the alternative...a bloody body. 🤷🏾‍♀️

Answer

I get ya, when I ‘cry’ during angry, disappointed or betrayal moments....I can breathe but the tears just flow uncontrollably

Answer

🙋🏼‍♀️ Over here! Yes and it sucks big time. Especially arguing my very strong articulated SO. 
It feels like when I cry I seem weak. And if he is really angry he sometimes says “here you go crying again”. He is the sweetest guy I know but can be the biggest dick when he is really mad. Luckily this happens not often.
My SO tells me usually to cry more because I always hold it in. But when I’m angry, or when I’m a confrontational situation, I just can’t. I need time to cool down, come to my senses and to really think about what I’m going to say. My head is just a mess otherwise because I can’t find my words. Most off the time I’m the one going back initiating a follow up. Because when we are both in a calmer state I can think better about my response. In the heat of a moment I’m mostly overwhelmed.

Answer

I have a similar issue, which is honestly one of the things about myself that bothers me the most. When I’m angry and confront someone about it, I usually end up crying. First off, it takes a lot to get me to confront anyone about anything because I like to avoid conflict (probably for this exact reason). But I believe my main issue is that I am terrible at articulating what is on my mind, which then becomes frustrating and that turns into me being more angry, not at just the original situation or person, but that I can’t explain or get out what I want to say correctly. On the other hand, I’m extremely good at writing my thoughts out on paper and so many times with those I’m close with, I choose that option instead. This has been an issue of mine since I can remember and I’ve never been able to overcome it...I don’t even know how to start since I feel I can’t control the tears.
