Answer: Temper

When someone shouts angrily, people say they’ve lost this.
Answer and explanation (spoiler!)
The answer is your temper.
“Losing your temper” means getting very angry. When one person shouts and gets cross, it often makes the people around them angry too, so they lose their tempers as well.
The riddle uses “lose” like losing keys, but the answer is about emotions.
