What do you do when you're angry?

[hotacidbath]

I usually kick the wall as hard as I can and then I walk around for awhile to cool off.

I don't get angry. I get very irritated. It takes quite much for me to get irritated enough to need to vent it, but when I do, if possible, I lie down on my couch or bed, shut my eyes and breathe deeply. I lie until it passes, and then I'm usually fine. I am worried about what might happen the day someone pushes me over the edge and actually make me really angry though..

Very small pieces of my bottled-up rage have been released. I have given my older brother a solid hit in the face with my left hand (luckily I'm right handed, and I was much weaker then than I am now) while he really annoyed me at an airport (don't judge me, I was 8 years old or something like that.) I have kicked several people's asses when they annoyed me enough (most of this was before I learned to control myself properly though.) The last time I can recall being somewhat violent to someone was 4 years ago, when a person who is now a friend got me rather angry. I grabbed him and pushed him up against a wall, but luckily I could control myself and let him go after warning him of the consequences should he continue to annoy me. If I didn't control myself, Im worried of what might have happened. He wouldn't be looking pretty afterwards, I know that much.

But it's rare that I get that irritated. I think that in the last 4 years I have had the need to vent maybe 4 or 5 times.

Shout a bit ,though i only really get worked by games ,like gal civ a minute ago where the bastarding arcaeans got godlike powers ,allowing them to conquer the universe at ease after the days of patient work i`d put in to get a half decent chance of doing that

I had a punching bag and use it for a few minutes... It helps.

I don't get angry often, just irritated. If the person(s) I'm irritated at are anyone but my parents, I go on loud and lenghty rants.

When I'm angry though, I swear loudly a few times, maybe kick something and stub my toe in the process. Usually calms me down.

 

[WeevilStew]

smoke herb. that usually calms me down.

 

[Arisato-kun]

When I'm angry I usually start playing a fighting game. It's a great way to vent.

 

[Slash Dementia]

I usually just start reading or listening to music. Either that or I laugh it off, I've not gotten mad in a really long time.

 

[Triscut900]

[Valkyira]

i eat children

Depends upon how angry I am and what the cause of my anger is, but often my process works like this:

Get some distance from the offending thing - progress is rarely made with people or machines when frustrated. If I'm really angry (i.e. on the verge of starting a fight), i'll go for a short jog or perhaps a quick set of push-ups anything that dumps that enraged energy.

 

[jimduckie]

i go quackers lol , no i like quite a few people i know suppress it deep inside me it turns to depression and eats my soul or at least taints it , life is short enough

I cut my finger doing dishes about an hour ago, and it involved a lot of yelling and hitting things. That sumbitch hurt.
It's a typical example.

You know how some people use the "what would Jesus do" when a moral problem comes up? When I'm angry, I usually use the "how would Iroh react". You know, from Avatar. No matter how furious I am about the situation, I always instantly calm down quite a bit, sometimes almost compeltely, and usually end up smiling as well.

I also find petting the neighbor's cat extremely cathartic as well.

 

[Bassman_2]

I stop playing or change server.

 

[S.H.A.R.P.]

When in company I usually don't get angry. Alone I utter some profanities for the hell of it.
