20 Ways To Show Anger In Your Writing

20 Ways to Show Anger in Your Writing

Here’s a list of 20 signs of anger that writers can use to show, rather than tell, a character’s emotions through physical, verbal, and internal reactions:

1. Facial Expressions

Clenched jaw or grinding teeth

Narrowed or glaring eyes

Lips pressed into a thin line or curled into a sneer

2. Body Language

Fists clenched tightly at their sides

Tense shoulders that rise or square up

Puffing out the chest or stepping closer to confront

3. Speech Patterns

Voice lowered to a dangerous, icy tone

Shouting or raising their voice suddenly

Speaking in short, clipped sentences

4. Breathing Changes

Heavy, rapid breathing (nostrils flaring)

Sharp inhales and audible exhales

Holding their breath as if trying to stay in control

5. Sudden Physical Movements

Slamming fists onto tables or walls

Pacing back and forth restlessly

Pointing a finger or jabbing the air during speech

6. Uncontrolled Gestures

Shoving objects off a desk or knocking over a glass

Finger tapping or knuckle cracking

Wrapping arms tightly around themselves

7. Temperature and Flushes

Red face, neck, or ears

Visible veins on the neck or forehead

Breaking into a sweat despite the situation

8. Eye Movements

Eyes darting or rolling sharply

Avoiding direct eye contact out of fury

Staring someone down with unblinking intensity

9. Words and Tone

Cursing, insults, or verbal jabs

Sarcasm sharpened to hurt others

Accusations thrown in frustration

10. Breaking Personal Space

Leaning in closer, looming over someone

Pointed steps toward another person to intimidate

Physically turning away to dismiss or avoid conflict

11. Physical Reactions

Throwing objects or breaking things in rage

Punching walls, doors, or inanimate objects

Shaking hands or trembling with pent-up anger

12. Posture Shifts

Back stiffening and chin lifting defiantly

Shoulders jerking or twitching

Rigid stance as though ready for confrontation

13. Inner Thoughts (for internal POV)

“I could feel the blood boiling in my veins.”

“The room seemed to close in on me.”

“My pulse thundered in my ears.”

14. Displacement of Anger

Kicking objects on the ground (chairs, trash bins)

Storming off abruptly or slamming doors

Snapping at someone unrelated to the cause of anger

15. Temperature Descriptions (metaphors/sensations)

Heat rushing to their face or spreading through their chest

A cold sensation washing over them, signaling restrained anger

Feeling fire “lick” at their insides or their temper “ignite”

16. Instinctive Responses

A growl or grunt escaping their lips

Baring their teeth as if instinctively defensive

Ripping or tearing something in their grip

17. Silence as a Weapon

Pausing dramatically before responding

Refusing to speak or meet someone’s eyes

The ominous quiet just before they explode

18. Physical Sensations

Muscles twitching or vibrating under the skin

Heart pounding visibly at their throat or chest

A bitter taste in their mouth or nausea from anger

19. Reactive Behaviors

Interrupting others to correct or attack

Dismissing concerns with a quick wave of the hand

Throwing out ultimatums like “Don’t push me!”

20. Lingering Aftermath

Hands trembling after the initial outburst

A headache, buzzing ears, or lingering tension

Regret or shame slowly replacing the heat of the anger

These signs can be layered together to create realistic and powerful depictions of anger, whether it’s smoldering beneath the surface or erupting violently.

*Narcissistic Personality Disorder* (NDP) is a mental health condition in which people have an unreasonably high sense of their own importance.

○ They need and seek too much attention and want people to admire them.

○ People with this disorder may lack the ability to understand or care about the feelings of others.

*How do narcissists act?*

*Narcissistic Personality Disorder* (NDP) involves a pattern of self-centered, arrogant thinking and ones behaviour, a lack of empathy and consideration for other people, and an excessive need for admiration

Others often describe people with NPD as *cocky,*

*manipulative,*

*selfish,*

*patronizing,*

and *demanding.*

*How does a narcissist apologize?*

*If* they do apologize, it's often insincere and accompanied by excuses or justifications for their behaviour, says Dr. Michael Kane, chief medical officer at Indiana Centre for Recovery.

*“They often & seldom shift the blame onto someone else or make empty promises to change in order to appease the situation,”* Kane notes

Here are some signs of *Narcissistic Personality Disorder Narcissism* vs. *Narcissistic Personality Disorder*

● Having narcissistic tendencies -- like bragging or making themself the centre of attention -- are normal when they occur occasionally.

Narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) is different.

● Symptoms are more severe, occur across different situations and environments, and make relationships with others challenging, if not impossible.

Here, Zachary Rosenthal PhD, a clinical psychologist at Duke Health, answers questions about NPD and what you can do if you suspect that you or a loved one has the condition.

Dr. Zach Rosenthal discusses the symptoms of NPD, how it is diagnosed, and the individualized approach he takes for treating the disorder.

*What are the symptoms of narcissistic personality disorder?*

Use the acronym *“SPECIAL ME”* to remember the signs of NPD.

1. SPECIAL ME

1. Sense of self-importance

Preoccupation with power, beauty, or success

Entitled

Can only be around people who are important or special

Interpersonally exploitative for their own gain

Arrogant

Lack empathy

Must be admired

Envious of others or believe that others are envious of them

2. How is NPD diagnosed?

○ Trained mental health professionals conduct a structured interview to learn more about an individual’s typical behaviour patterns. If someone consistently displays at least five of the SPECIAL ME traits, they meet the diagnostic criteria for the condition.

*Is NPD genetic?*

*No, there is no gene for NPD, and people are not born with it.* Like other mental health conditions, the environment is a major factor. Children who are encouraged to believe they are extraordinary and always deserve the best - sometimes at the expense of others - could later develop NPD. In these children, traits like confidence are rewarded, while qualities like empathy are not.

○ *Are narcissists bad people?*

Narcissists are not bad people; *it’s their behaviour that’s problematic.* They have been conditioned to believe that they are special and deserve to be treated better than others and approach the world accordingly.

*Can I have a relationship with someone with NPD?*

It depends. If your romantic partner, family member, or boss has NPD, they can make your life challenging. Because they put themselves first, you may feel belittled, and your mental health could suffer. Coping strategies include setting personal boundaries and gently walking away if they are breached. However, this is not always easy to do. Calling your partner a narcissist won't help either. Instead, you should focus on your well-being and decide what you are willing to tolerate.

*Can people recover from NPD?*

Yes, but changing a learned behaviour takes time and effort. People with NPD do not generally seek help on their own, and if they do, it is often because of a co-existing problem, like anxiety. Because there is no proven medication or therapy to treat NPD, providers take an individualized approach. Getting to know the patient and establishing a trusting relationship are key components of treatment. If a person is willing to change and their therapist can help them bridge the gap between their current and desired behaviors, there is hope for recovery.

"FACTS YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT YOUR MAN’S SEX LIFE:"

"FACTS YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT YOUR MAN’S SEX LIFE:"

Most of the time, you complain that your husband’s demand for sex is too frequent. You feel his crave for sex is similar to his need for food and you can’t help but wonder if sex is the only thing he thinks about. Men and women in the areas of sex are wired differently. With these variations in mind, all you need to do is to know how men see sex and understand how to relate with your own man.

Sex is one thing husbands would ask more of. Almost all husbands wish their wives can step up their sexual abilities and give them more at “bed time”. Your husband’s case is not different. Ask him and you will be surprised he is likely to be among the 92% of men who say they want more of sex.

💢 Sex of yesterday is for yesterday. While you are still enjoying the fulfillment of yesterday’s sex, your “lover boy” is already thinking of how to get another one. Remember, every man has a sex drive that is stronger than the average woman.

💢 A man’s sex drive is one of his strongest drives. You need to know that only a few things matter to a man than his sex life and the sex drive is stronger than any other “drive” in his body. This is the reason nothing really matters to most men whenever they want sex.

💢 Every man wants his wife to be romantic and involved in bed. No man will love to have a “bedroom failure” as a wife. No matter how religious they are, they want romantic, exciting and tantalizing wives.

💢 He needs routine sexual gratification the same way his wife needs routine acts of love, care and kindness. Just as you want him to be kind to you; he also wants you to be available in bed at least 2 or 3 times a week. Crises arise when the wife wants the act of kindness before sex and the man wants sexual gratification before an act of kindness. My word for you wife is; break the cycle. Give him s3x, and see if he won’t show you more love and care.

💢Virtually every man experiences arousal, attraction and temptation seven times a day. Let him fall into your hands, not into the hands of a strange woman. Help him manage his sexuality.

💢Men are moved by what they see. Let your husband be attracted to you. Never allow his secretary to take your position; dress nicely. If you are alone in the house put on skimpy dresses, sexy underwears; let him be moved towards you. Dress up in front of him. Make it “The-more-you-look-the-more-you-see” affair. Dress slowly to the extent that he will notice you. You are in your palace, “you own your husband.

💢Wants the wife to be actively involved in sex. Almost 90% of men said they will be more motivated if their wives can get involved in the bedroom. They said unanimously that they hate “dry and drab” women in their bedrooms.

Your man wants you to be involved during foreplay and love making. He wants you to roll your body, turn, raise your laps, roll your buttocks, hold him, put your breast in his mouth, moan, talk, gibber and show that you are really enjoying him. Make him feel like a real man.

*💢Men are more aroused when their wives seduce them* _Most men enjoy sexual invitations._ Surprise your man by inviting him; become the “seducer” and see how happy he will be. *Don’t be ashamed to flirt with your husband; be his mistress, his concubine.*

*💢More than 70% of men want sex at least 2 or 3 times a week, while more than 60% of women want sex 2 or 3 times a month. This is where wisdom comes in for you as a woman. If you must keep your man, protect your home and send strange women far from your husband, then you must learn how to improve your bedroom performance.* _Be among the 40 % of women who are enjoying better relationships with the husband._

How does it feel to share your wife?

Open relationships and non-monogamous arrangements involve consensually and ethically engaging in romantic or sexual relationships with multiple partners. Here are some dos and don'ts to consider:

Dos:

Communication: Open and honest communication is crucial. Discuss your desires, boundaries, and expectations with your partner(s) openly and regularly.

Consent: All parties involved should provide informed and enthusiastic consent to ensure that everyone is comfortable with the arrangement.

Set Boundaries: Establish clear boundaries and rules that everyone agrees upon. These boundaries may include rules about safe sex, emotional involvement, or time management.

Respect: Treat all partners with respect and kindness. Respect their feelings and emotions, and be considerate of their needs.

Safe Sex: Practicing safe sex is essential to protect everyone's health. Discuss and agree on safe sex practices with all partners.

Regular Check-Ins: Continue to communicate and check in with your partner(s) and yourself to ensure that the arrangement is working for everyone involved.

Seek Support: Consider seeking support or guidance from a therapist or counselor experienced in non-monogamous relationships if you encounter challenges.

Don'ts:

Don't Cheat: Non-monogamy should always be consensual. Cheating or breaking established rules can lead to trust issues and harm in the relationship.

Don't Assume: Never assume that your partner(s) are comfortable with a particular situation or arrangement. Always ask and discuss.

Don't Neglect Existing Relationships: If you're in a primary or existing relationship, make sure to prioritize and nurture it. Non-monogamy should enhance, not replace, your current relationship(s).

Don't Ignore Emotions: Emotions like jealousy, insecurity, and fear can arise in non-monogamous relationships. Don't ignore these feelings; address them with open communication.

Don't Rush: Take your time in exploring non-monogamy. Rushing into it without proper communication and preparation can lead to problems.

Remember that non-monogamy isn't for everyone, and it's essential to find a relationship structure that works best for you and your partner(s). What's most important is that all parties involved feel comfortable, respected, and fulfilled within the agreed-upon arrangement.
