Biting your mouth makes you angrier than hurting any other part of your body

Why does biting my mouth make me so (fleetingly) angry. Is it just me? Am I just an angry person? Stubbing toe or walking on lego or a plug probably next on the list but nowhere near the same level.

Definitely 100% rage with whoever’s nearest if I bite my mouth, anything else doesn’t have the same effect!

Cupboard doors rearing up and punching me in the head gives me the absolute rage.

It's so weird, isn't it? Why is anger the go-to response for some pain triggers? Is there some mysterious evolutionary reason?

Hitting my head makes me angriest, can't stand it! After that its the big toe with the ingrowing toenail!

Toes, mouth biting and paper cuts.

Banging my head is the most rage-inducing for me.

Biting your own mouth is sooo annoying because you know you are going to do it again time and time again, usually just as its healed properly.

One thing I have noticed is that I'm doing it much more frequently the older I get. I think the lining of my mouth is becoming too big, loose and floppy.

The human mouth seems to have some sort of design flaw.

Having a sewing machine needle half way down the back of your thumbnail is many, many times more painful.

Hitting my head is the thing that makes me disproportionately angry, followed by stubbing my toe. Biting the inside of my mouth just makes me roll my eyes and tut.

My least favourite accidental self harm activities are 1. Biting tongue 2. Burning roof of mouth 3. Stubbing toe 4. Banging head 5. Hitting elbow funny bone 6. Sun burn 7. Ice cream headache
