Is this normal?

[NinjaOctosquid]

One of my friends had the Pieriodic Table of Elements deleted from his graphing calculator, and then he cried, and he claimed it was because he was angry, so now I am wondering if it is normal to cry from rage.

[TheLoneBrit101]

Being the wrathfull bastard that I am, I can say without hesitation that yes....your friend has issues. JK!

Anyway, yes tis possible to cry, but it is more out of desperation, when you are so angry and have tried everything possible (namely smashing up the place, including people who happen to be around) but can't rectify the situation that you just collapse out of exhaustion. Then the tears come.

From what happened to your friend, I'd say that it was not true anger that he was feeling, just loss; maybe some anger directed at calculator but nevertheless.

[Kimmie-chan]

It's like when you see people haveing a serious fight, they may be angry at eachother. etc, but they are also upset at the same time, therefore tears and anger lashes at the same time.

I haven't noticed myself, if I cry or not when I get angry, I'll let you know next time I get angry at someone/something

i don't think that you can cry and be angry at the same time cause somehow it seems kinda impossible to me.

i think what you would do is cry first out of despair and then feel angry and want vindication. that is plausible, to me at least

*puts hand up* I DO! I cry when I'm angry. Crying helps me relieve my stress when I'm angry. Some time I have so much anger and stress that everything just starts building up that I just can't take anymore so I cry it all out. Crying out my frustration is like a good rain shower, it washes away all the bad crap that's happen and leaves you stress free and just a bit happier.

[Xristyan]

its possible... a friend of mine does that most of the time...

when he gets in a scuffle.. you see him teary eyed... and sometimes bawling.. but you know he is angry since he is beating the crap out of someone...

he says it is where he gets his erm.. strength???

depends heavily on the person.

ur friend, he may not be entirely emotionally stable, and so its probably more difficult for him to control his out bursts. i had a friend that cried pretty much at everything. cuts, scratches, falling down, bad grades. etc.
but after a few years, hes gotten over it.

or

but crying from rage, no offence, but thats only something ive seen girls do. and rarely at that.
like i said, he might be unstable.

or

he might have some other troubles on his mind and couldnt cry for those, and that calculator incident might've thrown it over the top and he just couldnt control it.

but it really depends on the person, and seeing as how i dont know him theres not much more i can say without possibly offending him more.

i think i agree with the notion that your friend was just teary more from loss than anger. when i get mad, i usually sulk/bark out a few obscenities/punch something.

on another note, he could have overactive tear ducts. i know i do, like i get blurry eyed everytime i yawn or blink really hard. then everyone thinks something's wrong, and i respond that i've shedding manly tears at how awesome i am.

For a situation like that...i also think that he was more sad than mad =/

but as for the crying when ur mad..it is normal..but its rarely seen <-< at least for me lol its like rag gurl said, all that rage needs to come out somehow..and if its not gonna be with ur fists, then u might as well cry it out hehe =P

When I get angry, I feel like crying. Course that's only if it's a personal matter. Lets say if someone comes by and kicks me for no reason, I'd snap and go berserk, and...probably get myself clobbered in that frenzy. But if I got into a seriously heated argument with one of my friends then I might cry. At least feel like crying. I think it's perfectly normal to have mixed emotions because you can't only feel one thing at a time.

[trueline]

i do too
sometimes i cry when i get angry and sometimes i get angry when i cry
but not nowadays XD

i feel relieve and like i released my anger especially when i get angry from something i cant fix it.

i dont think its ubnormal to cry when u get angry but if u cry in each time u get angry then there is something wrong.

Its all right to cry. It is a sign of your humanity. Crying is a way to express one of many emotions.

I say your friend is just frustrated with many things in life. Like others have said, that little incident might have ignited the rocket.

I rarely feel the need to cry. Sometimes I want to cry yet it never comes.

[KiaraSota]

Hmmm, I had a bout of anger yesterdayand when I do, people that make me annoyed see my fist. This punk was rootling inside my bag and tryed to take one of my belongings on my bus so I kicked him on the shins and slapped him. Hard. He cried. I just get very irate and sometimes hit things when I'm angry. Once I hit my head against the wall until I couldn't bear the pain any longer to calm down...but I have passed that phase now
