Not necessarily.
Most nice people just politely distance themselves,
or ease away so slowly that it's not noticed,
or practice skillful avoidance.
However, people who suppress anger for a long time may explode in a way that seems out of proportion to the apparent trigger.
And for the person on the receiving end, the sudden explosion may seem out of character.
This usually means they were insensitive to the more subtle signs that were always there.
