How Do You React To Anger?

How do you react to anger?

I usually go take a crap, then it'll have passed. I'm pretty even tempered nowadays and just take these things as they come, rather than plan things in advance and have them build up in my mind, only to be disappointed later. I try to keep expectations low, because we're going to come up short or be let down at some point. It wasn't always that way. I used to just find motivation out of spite of others, who i believed wanted me to fail. It worked at the time, but it's too stressful to cope like that in the long run.

If you're so consumed by rage that you're punching a concrete wall, maybe consider anger management. Sleeping or taking a walk would be practical and not harmful to others, except you admit to being out of control. How are you gonna sleep or decide to do anything at a time like that?
 
Im asking this out of curiosity. When I get mad, I generally mutter something under my breath and get over it. But sometimes, I become overwhelmed with anger. At that point I have to punch something, human or not. I currently have a broken bone, or at least that's what it feels like, in my hand from punching a concrete wall. But how do you react?

I can be extremely tolerant . . . for a long time. Then when I crack - I go completely off. It's been a serious problems - I've hurt others, nearly killed myself, and it's cost money.

So I try hard - really hard - not to lose it completely. The bes thing for me is to honestly not talk about the issue for a while - not until I calm down. That really is counterintuitive. They always say 'talk it out' - but talk about ti *while* I'm emotionally strung up will only string me up tighter. I need to simmer down - let my emotions disipate - and then I can discuss calmly.
 
I used to get in fights when I got angry. But my doctor convinced me I didn't have much of a future in that line of work. Haha.
 
I throw glass bottles out of the window

I very rarely get angry. When I was young, I would just keep it all stuffed inside, then eventually the tears started flowing, but over my lifetime, I've learned that anger is really a pretty useless endeavor, and things that used to irritate me don't bother me anymore.

That's frustration more than anger. Your personality and the way you rationalize life will determine how intense and often you get angry. It's healthy to acknowledge your anger, then release it in a positive manner.

Anger turned inward is depression, anger turned outward is violence and anger turned sideways is a motivating force.
 
indeed - a motivating force. :)

My anger can carry inertia. Like the other week; I was goingto school - something happened, I was boiling mad and trying to calm down which wasn't working. I should have stopped driving but I did not - no - no such maturity here. A few minutes down the road my necklace got on my nerve. My over the top showpiece of a necklace - bronze and a whole host of classy gems - the damn thing pissed me off even more. It took me 2 weeks to make the sucker - and in one quick second I ripped it off my neck and tossed it out the window.

It was like instant ice - I realized that eventhough I've managed to cap my temper around the kids and my husband I still have a long way to go.
 
Depends on what I'm upset about, but usually my first reaction it to get quiet. Steel myself, swallow it, walk away if possible, listen to the person making me upset. I do all these things while I try to process how or if I do anything about it.
 
Internally pissed off, sometimes it shows a bit in my comments to people, where I am being short. I don't like to yell, so that's not me. Usually, I internally stew about it until I find someone or somewhat to vent.
 
I begin to speak english well when I get angry:lol:
 
Cannot vote, a check box for Laugh was not there

Laughing at someone who tries to make me angry is what I call sweet revenge :)

I'd not say that my "anger reaction" is "mental health textbook".
Its not ......but at least its not criminal (most of the time).
We, as Americans and as men, must work on this...as must all of us...
Real gun control helps....to an extent.

Gun control doesn't help, it just reduces the number of outlets for expression.
