The first thing that comes to my head is the question of whether outrage always comes from feeling down or does it have some other generating element. Outrage is definitely an emotion. I think it does not only come when we are emotional as in sad but it also shows itself as our reflex. Especially for those who are mostly named as short-headed.
Short-tempered people have things done in their own way and if the fuel is given more fire, it is most likely to be burning the whole space. The reason emotional outrage is today's topic is that I have seen emotional clusters due to outrages which were reflexes than something meaningful.
Speaking from experience alone, emotional outrages come from negative emotions which are building up one after another. Toxicity is not one day's game but a continuous play of triggered emotions building up for a long time. Emotional outrage itself is a very strong emotion that has the power to corrupt the person, himself with him knowing or not knowing.
Outrages can be due to some triggered emotions. It can be caused by ignorant behaviors. It can be an accumulation of grudges against a person. Or, it can be due to a behavior habit. Behavior habit is a habit that is grown through repetitive conduct which is later turned into a behavior trait. It is learned. It is not present in the system naturally. This is the prime focus.
So, outrages that come from behavior habits are the ones that bring in toxicity while the one in charge is mostly in denial of the consequences. Therefore, the receiving end is hurt by the actions made by such people. And, it becomes hard for the outraged person to match the dots. As the person is clearly in denial, he is left lost.
Such outrages develop due to the surrounding people or environment which fails to teach them the right way of dealing with emotions. Habits do not suddenly grow, they take time and effort. The short-tempered fellow has been growing and outraging for a very long time and the people around him/her have failed to address the issue. A habit does not grow while staying alone but it will go if given space to.
People around that person have been ignorant. And, that lead to such behavioral disorder which ultimately affects all. Even the future generation suffers the consequences. Good habits flourish the mind while bad habits corrupt it. It is our responsibility to ensure that we are not torturing ourselves. Bursting out helps but too much of it is unhealthy.
Most men are victims of such conditions being unaware. I, myself am short tempered but I miss out on raging. It is because I have myself been a victim of circumstances. Unless one is a victim it is hard to relate to the situation at hand. But, it is always open for discussion and knowing. There is no end to knowing and learning.
If you are a victim of such a habit, there is still time to give up. It is very hard to control once you are already strongly driven by triggered emotions but trying to start controlling is far better than regretting later in your life.
Most incidents where children are being killed or abused due to some very lame reasons are because of the outrageous nature of an adult. An adult, who does not groom themselves properly is harmful to their own children and society. It is the duty of the society and the people to take measures to build positive energy within so that it is easier for practicing good habits. While staying away from the negative ones.
As I mentioned, I am short-tempered and it is taking me to recover. I still get triggered but not as easily as I used to. This way, I am healthy and people around me are free from getting terrorized by my emotions. It helps me to maintain relations and keep myself mentally safe. Emotional outrages have no boundaries once it becomes a habit. Basically, it is like running with a blade, which will hurt anyone who gets in contact. It is dangerous to self and others.
