Then how come it infuriates us almost instantly?
Heres why we snap, and how we snap out of it, according to a neuroscientist.
Youre stopped its like youre being restrained.
And any time an animal is restrained, it will engage in an aggressive reaction to get free.
Itll chew its arm off if its in a trap.
And people will do the same thing…
But heres the key: Your internets slow, or youre stuck in traffic.
Why are you suddenly angry, fuming angry, instead of some other human emotion, like dreadfully bored?
That is because anger is [meant] to prepare you to fight.
Thats what its there for.
Its tripped this trigger to prepare you to fight, because you are trapped.
Your sudden rage comes from being cornered in a sense.
So what can you do?
You realize kicking at your screen is not going to solve this problem.
Stop and give yourself a moment to realize youre not in danger, youre just annoyed.
