Crying when angry is not about being upset, it's about the frustration that comes along with anger, as you said, crying when frustrated is understandable and I, like I imagine a lot of people, get frustrated when I get angry, they go hand in hand and is not really that unusual, I don't cry when I get upset, that's just how my body deals with things, but when I get angry, it's either let my anger out through tears, or hit the roof and explode at someone, I myself, prefer the former option.

So you have created the comfort of crying to deal with anger. Thats unusual.

Psychologists appear to talk rubbish. Mine recently told me I am borderline sociopathic :umm2: Sociopaths tend to love themselves, be overly confident and charming, etc etc. Only trait I have in common I'm not a very emotional person and rarely feel guilt, even when I should...

I lost a lot of faith in docs/quacks and such recently :laugh:

Also, my partner crys when he is angry. He also taps his foot repeatedly and can't control it. I find it so odd :S

To you maybe so.

I also do this..

Looks like you guys need to go to anger management. I fer you are not managing your anger very well and giving people the wrong impression about your emotions.

That's the most patronising thing that's ever been said to me on here and I've had people questioning my skills as a carer before, how dare you.

If you cry regularly when you are angry then I stand by my words.

You can dismiss the work of all psychologists if you want but I think there is some truth in much that is said.

Well your words are wrong, not only are they wrong, but they're offensive.

How offensive? You cry when you are angry. Incidentally are you crying now? That is most definitely not something that most people do. What the problem?

Most people don't act like jumped up therapists because they read a few words that psychologists say, but alas, you're doing that.

I think we have established that a lot of people do cry when they are angry, including myself, so I think maybe you need to stop being so condescending and telling others about how to deal with emotions.

Where did we establish that? I'm looking it up and its most definitely not something that a lot of people do.

How do you know? Have you conducted some kind of survey? Because a lot of people I know do. I think that you should just admit you may be wrong on this occasion.

AM I.? Cus I think its strange to cry when angry. OK then. :thumbs:

No, you're taking my posts and trying to disect them to turn it around on me and make out like I have some sort of anger issue, because I deal with anger a different way to you.. you're being condescending, rude, offensive and obnoxious.

You can read all the bull**** that psychologists say until the cows come home, but don't you dare have the audacity to try and diagnose me with some sort of issue because I do something differently to you.

This is just getting laughable now.:joker:

So do you throw drinks at the wall when you are angry or sit crying in the corner?

Well some psychologists may disagree with you...

Crying does serve an emotional purpose, says Sideroff, also an assistant clinical professor of psychiatry at the UCLA David Geffen School of Medicine. "It's a release. There is a buildup of energy with feelings."

''When you cry," she says, "it's a signal you need to address something." Among other things, it may mean you are frustrated, overwhelmed or even just trying to get someone's attention.

Exactly. 'A build up of energy with feeling' and you display that when you are angry by.....crying. Ok Then you are all right and I am wrong :joker: But I agree with the article you've found.

Let's just agree to end this now :joker:, we've gone way off topic

My original point was that even though Helen display some anger when angry ie throwing cans at the wall the crying is unusual in context but if you think its ok then lets end the discussion

I've thrown things in anger sometimes,sometimes I cry,depends really on what's made me angry

Brian is agressive and fake
