👉 Rage math is a term used to describe the extreme, often irrational, and sometimes disproportionate emotional reactions that can occur when someone feels deeply frustrated, angry, or overwhelmed. In these moments, people might use math as a coping mechanism to rationalize their feelings, sometimes leading to absurd or illogical calculations. For example, someone might calculate the exact number of steps they need to take to "even out" their anger or the precise amount of time to wait before reacting calmly. This can manifest in various ways, such as overthinking trivial matters or using mathematical formulas to justify extreme actions, reflecting the intense emotional state rather than a rational approach.
