As with so many things, I really don’t know if the sometimes elevated stress levels come with age/more responsibility or if it’s just harder to cope with certain situations these years.

No matter your age or unpleasant experiences, every single one of us can relate to lashing out to help us feel better. As kids, we stomped our feet when we didn’t get our way, and some grown adults literally still do it. Some of us, though, feel more comfortable releasing that rage through screams and fist pounding sessions when nobody else can see or hear it.
