1.
Hurt

You're angry at those who have hurt you in the past or possibly even the situations themselves. Maybe you're upset with God for allowing bad things to happen? It's okay to feel upset sometimes and to be sad or upset, but don't let those feelings consume you. If you keep absorbing more and more pain and hurt then one day you won't be able to take anymore and will end up exploding on some random person, someone you love or maybe you'll end up hurting yourself. Don't let it go that far. Stop yourself when you catch yourself feeling angry far too often about bad things that have happened. It's not always your fault, but don't allow yourself to become a victim.
2.
Loneliness

Having no one to really connect with and share life's special moments with is painful and can make you feel angry. Sometimes you even take your anger out on the few people who do actually care about you. Wanting friends, family or a lover but not having anyone can suck and makes you feel a mix of emotions, including anger. Loneliness is a craving for connection, companionship, and love. Just because you don't have the people who you want in your life right now doesn't mean that you can't still get your needs met. You might have other great people in your life who you've been overlooking. You can also get a feeling of connection from reading a great book, companionship from a loyal dog and love from just about everywhere.
3.
Fear

Not knowing how things are going to turn out can cause stress and anxiety which can manifest as anger. Being afraid of death, losing loved ones, illness, car accident, job loss, etc. can be devastating your on your life you let it. Lots of times something happened in the past that makes you fear that it might happen again. It's perfectly reasonable to feel that way, but if you live in a state of worry and panic because things could go wrong it will make things in your life a lot more complicated and stressful than they need to be. Realize that some things are out of our control and that bad things will happen to everyone. It sucks, but it's life and hopefully you will have more good days than bad ones. If you live each day in fear that something is going to go wrong then you won't be able to appreciate all that goes right. Next time you're upset, take a moment and decide if your actions are coming from fear or something good.
4.
Lack of control
Image Source
You might have a tendency to freak out when things don't go your way and you aren't in control. It's scary and upsetting when this happens and it can mess up what you had planned. Even something as simple as a traffic jam on the way to work can set you off and mess up your whole day if you let it. You like for things to go a certain way and when they don't you tend to get upset or angry. Well, I'm sorry to tell you this but life is full of random events and it can't be planned. You can make a plan but then also make a backup plan because things don't always work out. Then if that backup plan doesn't work out be prepared to go with the flow once in a while. You might be surprised at how much fun you actually have if you just let loose and let yourself enjoy life.
