So true, Sundae. As one with anger issues, everything you said hit home with me. Whether it is "just who you are" or it is the past that you don't deal with, nipping it in the bud is very good advice.

BTW the advice given by Ducks re taking a deep breath has a real physical benefit. Anger releases adrenaline into the system, as our anachronistic bodies get ready to fight. Deep breaths are the best way to clear adrenaline - it's a way to bypass the animal system. Your body accepts that the deep breaths mean danger has passed and stop flooding your system with "fight" instincts.

I don't have the medical know-how to explain this properly, but a qualified psychiatric nurse explained it to me.

if there's nothing wrong with it, why do you resent it?
