what does it mean when you're so angry with that person your mind goes blank and can't think of 'comebacks'

someone angers you so extremely by what they said or posted, that you can't believe it, and your mind goes blank and you're actually ' amazed' with anger, and words to reply with won't come to you or you can't think of any? been in a few situations like that online in recent times.

Take a few deep breaths and step away. Go and make a cup of tea and then once you're a bit calmer, ask yourself how it really made you feel. Anger a lot of times is because it triggered another emotion like fear or sadness or loneliness. I think anger is really sneaky like that and sometimes, that reaction is out of proportion to whatever it was that triggered you. Reassessing often shows it wasn't as bad as you first thought. 😊
