Signification
Being extremely angry.
Contexte culturel
Bulgarians often use 'излизам от кожата си' to vent about 'държавната администрация' (state administration). It is a culturally accepted way to bond over shared frustrations with bureaucracy. Similar 'visceral' idioms exist across the Balkans, reflecting a shared cultural trait of expressing emotions outwardly and intensely rather than suppressing them. On Bulgarian social media (Facebook/Instagram), you will often see this phrase in 'rants' about inflation or traffic, usually accompanied by many exclamation marks.
The 'Si' Rule
Never forget the 'си'. It's the most common mistake for foreigners. Think of it as 'my own' skin.
Not for Fear
If you are scared, say 'Изкарах си акъла' (I took out my mind/scared myself), NOT 'Излязох от кожата си'.

There isn't a direct 'skin' opposite, but 'запазвам самообладание' (keeping one's composure) is the functional opposite.
