ELI5 When we're frustrated, why do we want to hit/break something?

Cathartic release. When we have a build-up of [emotional] energy, we need some way of relinquishing that energy. Typically as we mature, we’re able to use words to express how we feel, which is great catharsis. When we’re younger and don’t have words to express our feelings, or for people who are immature and never learnt to use their words to express their emotions, they tend to go for hitting/breaking things.
