<human>: Can you provide a brief overview of the text?

Thank you for your time.

When I get angry, I go silent. Very quiet. I do this because I do not want to take my anger out on anyone and say something I would end up regretting. 

My mother was like this, saying mean things to me and using me as a scapegoat for her anger. It only happened when she was furious. She is going to therapy right now for it and she is a lot better. The damage is done though and I promised myself I would never be like her. But the way I handle anger right now too is not good and hurting my friends.

If we are in a game/on skype, and I get angry, I go silent. Most times I just mute my mike or quit skype. But this causes friction with them, as it can be seen as passive aggressively attacking them and my silence makes them uncomfortable. 

This is toxic and they are distancing themselves from me. I do not want to lose these friends, I cherish them a lot. But I have no clue how to make it so that when I get angry, I won't say anything hurtful/take anger out on them and they don't feel uncomfortable/passive aggressive silence. That is not my intent. Also, I hardly ever get angry but in a stressful game/call, I am more prone to. Besides stop playing games with them, what are things I can do?
