What makes you angry?
Danger can make you feel either angry or frightened: both these emotions are triggered by the same part of the brain – the amygdala. The amygdala in turn triggers a response in the hypothalamus, a key area for many of the things your brain does 'without thinking' including this 'fight or flight' response.
