MIND :

Anger: Easily & Violently (+3)

I easily get angry and can even hit the other person when situation arises. I have made many quarrels in my school and therefore, my father kept me in a hostel for study far away from my home as I was really a mischievous child.

I get angry on certain things such as when someone lies to me or when somebody disturbs me when I am engaged in work. Usually, I cannot suppress my anger and in extremes it is getting expressed with even violence! I had hit few colleagues in my class and therefore, nobody usually take my name as I am known as “don of the class”.

I am an emotional person. I trust people easily & usually nobody has cheated me except the one with whom I had affair. I was in a serious love affair with a girl who actually ditched me in a relationship and I was very angry on her and hit her out of frustration. Unfortunately, that girl went my home and told everything to my family and I became a target of severe anger from my father and my family. They hit me badly and I was really disturbed due to my love failure coupled with suppression of my anger as I could not react towards my parents as I was at fault. This event had occurred four days back only!
