symptoms of aggressive anger :
pushing or shoving, using power , shouting, driving someone off the road, playing on people's weaknesses


destroying objects, harming animalsreckless drivingsubstance abuse
 showing off, expressing mistrust, being a sore loser, wanting center stage all the time, not listening, expecting kiss and make-up sessions

vulgar jokes and foul language 
expecting others to fit in
 finger pointing, fist shaking
door slamming

explosive rages over minor frustrations, illogical arguments

bringing up hurtful memories

repressed anger

the brow muscles move inward and downward, fixing a hard stare on the target. The nostrils flare, and the jaw tends toward clenching.Tension in the skeletal musculature, including raising of the arms are preparatory actions for attack and defense. The muscle tension provides a sense of strength . An impulse to strike out accompanies this subjective feeling of potency

an increase in the heart rate, preparing the person to move, and increase of the blood flow to the hands, preparing them to strike. Perspiration increases particularly when the anger is intense. A common metaphor for the physiological aspect of anger is that of a hot fluid in a container

Ancient Greek philosophers, describing and commenting on the uncontrolled anger, particularly toward slaves, in their society generally showed a hostile attitude towards anger. Galen and Seneca regarded anger as a kind of madness
