10 Stages Of Anger
Psychology Today

Having a short temper has its positives and negatives. Actually more negatives than positives. The one positive is that people will never take advantage of you because they are scared of you half the time. They do not know when you will reach your boiling point and burst into a fiery stream of anger. The ten stages of anger escalate very quickly. It is only natural to reach the next stage. Anything can tick these people off, a weird look or even the smallest comment can set them to the level of rage.

1. Bothered.

When something in a situation bothers you, you can't help it. This is the stage when you roll your eyes in the back of your head. You just can't deal!

2. Mild irritation.

This is the stage when you know you are right because you always are anyway. But other people may be questioning you. You may show this face.

3. Annoyed

This is the stage where you do not care what other people think. You are you, and that is the way it will stay. This stage may include some sassy hair flips and uncontrollable eye rolling.

4. Indignation

This stage is the first step to confrontation. You may not be able to use your words, but do not fret the other person will get the message.

5. Frustrated

This stage is about trying to take your anger out on inanimate objects because you can't do it on the real thing. This is a socially accepted stage.

6. Infuriated


Next, is the stage where there is uncontrollable screaming. It may not be to anyone, but it helps contain your anger. Warning, you may lose your voice.

7. Hostile

This stage is also about using inanimate objects... to hurt someone. It helps because you personally do not have to get your hands dirty.

8. Wrath

This stage is all about threatening someone. But don't be fooled, these may or may not be empty threats. Who knows?

9. Fury

This stage is when you go a little too far. This is when your threats come to life. Warning, you may or may not feel guilty.

10. Rage.

This is the final stage of anger. This is where you go full hulk mode. There is no going back after this stage. The damage is done.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
