The causes of anger can vary; it may be triggered by external factors such as bullying, humiliation, and loss. Internal factors, such as frustration or failure, can also lead to anger. Sometimes a situation will unconsciously remind a person of a past experience. A person may displace their anger about the past onto the present situation. Some people experience anger from disappointment, either in themselves or someone else.
