This is what being a sociopath is. Get your brain checked out.

Your theory might be right, but usually sociopaths actually try to copy normal people's behavior. So maybe this person is simply an attention whore.

I think you're too quick to pull out the sociopath card.

Sounds to me like the OP enjoys the rush they get from confrontation - perhaps it's a break from what's presumably an unfulfilling routine and maybe a break from feeling depressed. Anger can be exciting; it gives you that adrenaline rush, that momentary excitement. It makes you FEEL something strongly, something other than sadness or numbness.

Making someone else angry can also be a way of emotionally connecting with someone, even if it isn't in a positive way.

That's my theory anyway, although the post is too short to confidently evaluate the OP's psychological state even in an amateur capacity.

That may be true, but they should probably see a medical professional either way.
