Your catharsis.

[Rooster893]

Your catharsis factor. The thing you do to vent your anger and pain, to take a weight off your shoulders.

Me? Screaming the lyrics right along with David Draiman to Liberate.

I can already feel myself getting better.

Your turn!

 

[Korak the Mad]

I draw, or listen to music, or play videogames. I will usually listen to music while I draw or play videogames.

 

[SckizoBoy]

I have a punch-bag.

Yep, that'll do, but that's for practise and only when I'm in a real bad mood. When I'm just annoyed or irritated, video games suffice, or listening to some comedy show lightens my mood pretty quickly.

Sometimes I'll vent my frustration by writing a long and convoluted philosophical conversation that I weave into one of my novels/stories.

 

[hawkeye52]

Sometimes i do my diabolo if im annoyed but more often then not just play games as rage doesnt occur to me often

 

[Mischa87]

Emilie Autumn, Combichrist, Angelspit, Rotersand, and my fave, KMFDM. Music soothes the savage beast n'est-ce pas?

 

[Booze Zombie]

Oh, I play games, watch videos... tell friends my troubles and they bring me back down to reality.

 

[thegamermn]

I listen to Autumn Insomnia Session by The Flashbulb to wind down. When I'm really angry I walk and explore my home town's industrial areas (There's alot of abandoned factories.). Walking through an old worn down backlot is oddly calming

 

[Dalek Caan]

Play Halo: Wars skirmish match against an easy A.I and laugh as my hunters kill them all!HAHAHAHA!!!. Sorry.

 

[anthony87]

I don't get annoyed or angry for more than a couple of minutes before I get over it.

I'm far too mellow for my own good.

 

[varulfic]

Venting just makes me madder. The only thing that works is to walk away, and occupy my thoughts with something else. Music or the internet usually does the trick.

 

[Dango]

Most of the time I just listen to music and continue my day as normal.

 

[farscythe]

eh..i tend to race my bike down the hill... if the ride doesnt cheer me up the pub at the bottom never fails

 

[LarenzoAOG]

I deal with it. I don't get angry that often, but when I do I just kind of continue on with my day, on a few rare occasions I will go back many generations and go into some kind of Germanic barbarian rage, in which case I start breaking things.

 

[viranimus]

I dont. Anger is too precious an emotion to waste by venting it away. It is much more useful to take it and use it as fuel to create something better, or change what made you angry in the first place.

[Ickorus]

Just to be a smart ass:


But seriously, a good long piece of post-rock with long build-ups and huge sound explosions whilst laying in bed or leaning back in my chair with my eyes closed is the only way I can truly relax.

 

[aba1]

I just stop caring I guess that seems lame but I just do if I feel upset or angery I just stop bothering with it, it becomes a waste of my time so I disassociate with the problem

 

[Outright Villainy]

I detune my guitar and hammer it for about twenty minutes. Seems to work well enough for me.

 

[dstreet121]

I buy myself something. Usually just a burger but sometimes a new game or a movie. It makes me feel a lot better.

 

[aegix drakan_v1legacy]

Either mindless destruction in a video game, or speedrunning.

Hence why a game that combines the two (Shadow the Hedgehog) is usually the best way to just purge my frustration when it goes critical.

Might try to do an evil playthrough in InFamous next time, just to see who that goes.

 

[Artina89]

Watch Law & Order: Criminal intent
Listen to music
Play a videogame, something along the lines of InFamous, Resident Evil 4, Killzone 2 or Mortal kombat and Super street fighter 4
Rant about what's bothering me to anyone who will listen. Having a good rant is an excellent way to let off steam
Having a hot shower.

When I am irritated and angry, I do all of these things and I feel better.
