How would you describe "acting out" in words?

I recognize it when I see it, but couldn't really describe it properly.

Having a tantrum.
Throwing a fit.
Behaving in a threatening, violent or obnoxious manner usually because things aren't going your way.

That's how I'd describe acting out. Hope that helps!

Hmm... I would say:
Behaving in a manner unsatisfactory to society or specific individuals.

Maybe that helps.
Good luck finding a good definition if this isn't what you're looking for!
