Comment on Things I Never, Ever Want to Hear Againparent

Again, I'm not a native speaker of English, but the obvious way to ask you for the reasons that make you angry is to ask you: "Why are you so angry?" I'm still learning English and would appreciate if you would be kind and teach me an alternative way to ask that question.

The problem is not with the way of asking the question.

The problem is with the assumption about the other person's feelings underlying the premise of the question.
