Why do people yell at other people when they are mad?

Question

Some people yell, call names and swear at people easily. It never seems to help and makes people not want to be around them,so why do they do it?

Answer 1

To rant and rave like an idiot makes them feel more so in control of the situation than talking calmly with reason and logic.

Answer 2

It's perfectly healthy to yell sometimes, as long as you are undercontrol and don't say anything you'll regret.

If you see someone punch your friend in the face for no apparent reason and hurts them, why wouldn't you yell at them?

It's bad to bottle up such a strong emotion like anger all the time.

Answer 3

if you didn't, you'd end up developing a nervous tick

Answer 4

PEOPLE THAT DO THIS SUFFER FROM DISPLACED ANGER,ARE REALLY SCARED AND COWARDS. I DISASSOCIATE MYSELF FROM PEOPLE OR THAT CALIBER.

Answer 5

It helps people let go of anger when they yell. However people who yell over nothing are just stupid. They can't find any other way to say what they want to in an intelligent way, so they yell and scream.

Answer 6

Have you never been so mad that you had to let the person you were mad at understand just how mad you were.  If you don't let it out somehow, you'll blow up later.  Sometimes, anger is so strong of an emotion it's overwhelming.

Answer 7

I don't do that.  My parents yelled at each other and us a lot when I was growing up,and I just hated it.  I had enough yelling by the time I was ten years old- I don't want any more thank you!  It has been literally seven years since I was so frustrated with someone that I yelled at them.  Even at that time, it had been I don't know HOW many years it had been before that, that I had yelled at someone

One of the things my boyfriend says he really appreciates and respects about me is that we can disagree about something without being disagreeable.  It's really, really NICE.  Plus, when you stay cool about a disagreement, you have the opportunity to learn from it.  There have been times when my boyfriend changed my mind about a long-held opinion, and he has learned from me the same way as well.

I think many times people yell at each other because their parents set an example of yelling at home and they think it's normal, even expected behavior.  I also think that people yell when they have low self-control.
