Is it normal to be angry sometimes?

Anger is a normal human emotion, even when it shows up over something small or catches you by surprise. You don’t have to like the feeling or act on it; taking a pause can help you choose what to do with it.

People differ in how often they get angry and how they show it. Feeling angry is one thing; threatening, hurting, or intimidating someone is another. If anger is regularly taking over your life or leading you to hurt yourself or someone else, it’s worth reaching out for support.
