How to use "Flare up" in context?
Flare-ups are short-term episodes of intense anger that can happen unexpectedly. They can occur with any type of anger or frustration, and can be very intense. They can last for a few minutes or a few hours, and can happen anywhere, at any time.
Flare-ups can be difficult to predict and manage, and can lead to damaging interactions. They can also be a predictor of longer-term problems, such as anger and psychological problems.
There is not always a clear trigger for a flare-up, and they can be difficult to prevent.
