Good morning 🙂 Confused:

Feeling anger doesn’t feel good to me. I wonder if it feels good to other people. Curious, I asked you know who.

Copilot: “Yes — anger can feel good to some people, and this is not unusual.

Why anger can feel good- Research shows that anger can activate the brain’s reward system, especially the nucleus accumbens, which is involved in motivation and pleasure. When someone gets angry, the brain can release dopamine, the same chemical involved in reward and anticipation. This can create a brief sense of power, energy, or relief.

Some people experience anger as “good” because:

* It replaces feelings like helplessness or shame with a sense of control.

* It provides a rush or surge of energy that feels rewarding.

* It can feel empowering, especially when calling out injustice or protecting oneself.

This doesn’t mean anger is always healthy — just that the body sometimes interprets it as useful or energizing.

But the relief is temporary- Even though anger can feel good in the moment, research shows that venting anger actually increases anger, not decreases it. So, the short-term “rush” can lead to long-term emotional strain.”

The above explains why my mother was often angry at me: it made her feel (temporarily) good, as in powerful, in control.

Because I am at the computer, I asked Copilot another question.
