Cold vs Hot Rage

"Cold" rage has only occurred twice to me and both have been when someone's told a blatant lie and tried to justify the lie when I had already known the truth. It felt like a crystalized something has shattered. I feel like with this, things slow down and I think more clearly? Its a shut down, and I remove myself from the situation because I feel I might do something stupid.

"Hot" rage was once and it wasn't so much a feel as a reaction. There's no thinking here only action and stupidity.

Anger is usually annoyance or a mild simmer I can control which either ends in not talking because its not worth it to me (stupid) or giggles

Cold vs Hot Rage

Both types of rage are able to jump the "rationality circuit" that checks and balances thoughts and reactions.  The "cold" rage is more like an intense simmering of white-hot coals, that stay steadily hot for a long time.  The "hot" rage is often quick, intense, and leaves most without defense.  Under both circumstances, there simply becomes nothing that I believe can stop me.  I will destroy, one way or another.  The "cold" rage maintains a plan for action with determination, while the "hot" rage engulfs things in dragonsfire.  I'm concerned about this outside of these times -- I really don't know what will manage to help me gain rationality, except time and distance.  Any inhibitor switches usually get flicked off, and during the rage it is intense and not unpleasant, really.  It's just that afterwards it requires explanation or apologies or something else to compensate for the crusade that can be incited.

As opposed to ice and fire, mine feels more like electricity, like a current rather than a temperature. It's jumpy, chaotic, uncontrolled with a really weird sort of dizzying laugh and strange manner of speech accompanying it. It's rare, but when it happens it's really unbalanced.

Are there times in your life where you have experienced a controlled feeling "cold" rage? What about intense "hot" rage?

What do they feel like to you? What triggers these different types of rage?

Hot rage is emotional and volatile while cold rage tends to be emotionally disconnected.

For me 'cold' rage is when I feel passionate for people or a cause. It's like hot rage except without the frustration and it feels exciting. When hot rage is suppressed, I get really frustrated and tend to ruminate. This does not happen with cold rage/

I think I have a mix of both.... I guess my rage is like hail on a hot summer day.
