Slow Burn

Six-week list

Memory · Sarcasm · Eruption

You stockpile six weeks of grievances, then unload in one sentence.

What this archetype looks like

Your dominant anger style is the Slow Burn. Your anger builds slowly over weeks before you act on it, you keep score of small offences, when you finally bring something up you bring up everything, and you're more sarcastic when you're angry. The good part is patience. The hard part is the recipient gets hit with weeks of compressed material at once. What helps is naming small things small, the day they happen.
