If a person engages in an activity online and is interrupted by another person, their anger immediately escalates. This is the reason that when parents snatch smartphones from their teenage children, they are forced to commit suicide.

Remedy: First find the source of the stress. Do regular meditation and exercise to relieve stress. Get help from friends and family.
