Illtemper

Illtemper refers to a state of being easily angered or irritable. It describes an individual who is prone to displaying negative emotions, such as frustration, annoyance, or outright rage, often in response to minor provocations. This disposition can manifest in various ways, including sharp words, a generally sullen demeanor, or sudden outbursts of temper.

While the term "illtemper" is often used informally, it can also be associated with underlying psychological factors. Chronic irritability or a consistently ill-tempered nature might stem from stress, lack of sleep, hormonal imbalances, or certain mental health conditions like depression or anxiety disorders. In some instances, it can also be a symptom of a physical ailment or a side effect of medication.

Managing illtemper typically involves identifying triggers and developing coping mechanisms. Strategies can include stress reduction techniques such as mindfulness or exercise, improving communication skills to express needs and frustrations more constructively, and seeking professional help if the temper is significantly impacting one's life or relationships. Understanding the root cause is crucial for effective management.
