Anger... can you control it?

[EliteJounin]

Can you control your own anger... or do you just burst?

Me, i can sometimes control it and sometimes i cant.
Except, its different for me. I am better than that. You would think that being angry with something makes you human. But what do you get out of it? Nothing. So why be angry? Yet... even while i think about this. I cant seem to control it sometimes.

[gravitation]

I dont usually get angry easily and i can usually control it when i do, you wouldnt believe how many jackasses go to my skool grrr but they neva manage to get my bad side (lucky them lol j/k). However, a friend that i hang out with alot is just soooo annoying, usually i manage to control my temper with him but the other day i just stepped on his foot realllly hard coz i couldnt keep it in no longer...he ALWAYS has to be rite...anyway he kicked me bak and i kicked him bak and we didnt speak until we were leaving and going to the bus stop ^__^

Hahahah... thats cute. Dont get me wrong, im a guy but i find that funny. I was gonna talk to you some more since there is no one else that is talking now but it seems you have left.

[§lightlyintoXicated]

well usually i don get angery mm but if i do then u wouldn't wanna b anyplace near me at tht time muhahaha

[Asura]

my kind of anger management is either taking in a big breath, hold it, and count till 30, or else..smoke 3 cigs @ once.

Those, of course, are only valid if I still somehow able to tolerate the cause.. if not... there's always a way to terminate the cause permanently.

[Mad Cat]

I can control my anger/feelings becouse im in control of my body, arent you?

[hinata-chan]

I'm one of those people that don't usually show my anger. However, if I get pissed enough that I can't keep it bottled up, I'm like a raging bull. I tend to listen to very, very negative music when I'm upset, or I'll try to calm myself down by having a drink or two. It doesn't happen very often, though. :heh:

[Wandering_Youth]

I usually don't get angry because I usually don't give a damn what some people say about me. However, if they do get me ticked off then it's *bammmm!* in the face. Ahem (http://www.boomspeed.com/tomodachi/Belldandy_Comic.gif) :)

[Tomomi]

Hmm, it all depends on the situation. If it's something that really pisses me off, that idiot will get my knuckle sandwich!

[Forse]

If it's something about me (like stupid comment or insult) I don't give a #"¤"¤, but if it's about ppl that I care....nope then I can't control it. If I don't get a chance to somehow pay back double price right away...I do it eventually, I NEVER forget.

[Lefteris_D]

I can't control my anger very well. Just seem to be losing control very easily :(

[Seifer_us]

It's almost impossible for me to get angry enough to even verbalize my feelings, because I'm too worried about hurting somebody else's. I really wish I could just speak my mind sometimes...

[EvilTomte]

I can. I'm very easy-going. I've only gotten into fights with guys a few times. Even though I might feel like hitting someone, it solves nothing. Just in some cases. >.<

Actually, people find the fact that I don't get mad easily annoying, since it makes it seem like I don't really even care. Which I don't in most cases. ^^

[SirJeannot]

the two last times i got angry i broke both hands because of hitting a wall instead of hitting the person ...

that was 4 years ago ... i never got angry since then (if u don't consider my father :D )

[Koshiba]

No, I usually can't control my "anger." That is because I have bipolar disorder and usually when I go into a rage, I have trouble coming out of it and I can't control myself.

[p3psi]

When me Angry, Me smash STuff

AARRRRRRARGGGGGAH, Dont MEAKeee ME Mad! ! YOu make mE turn into Bad CG'ed MOOOOOONSTER!

[Tea Pad]

Keep a clear head and you can plot your revenge all the better.

Like back in the third grade when Timmy Lankerson stole my sparkle glue-stick. I didn't say anything at the time. I suppose he thought I was thoroughly intimidated. The look on his face a few weeks later when I pushed a filing cabinet over on top of his schnauzer* was absolutely priceless.

Ah, memories.

*no (real) animals were harmed in the composition of this post

[Cz]

When I'm angry I curse at the object/person silently to myself. I let my imagination run free to release my anger even though I really want to take revenge against the person in real life. Well, if I had some high-tech gadgets or supernatural powers, I might. There I go with my imagination again... ^^;

[gravitation]

if I had some high-tech gadgets or supernatural powers, I might. that would be kool, there are quite a few guys in my skool that are plain old jerks, i would like to teach them a lesson *maaarrrrsss fiiirreeebaalll cchhhhargggeeee ~fire fire scream scream~* ahhh...ermm wat it wasnt me!?!?!
I keep in my anger at skool from everyone else but occasionally i let out my anger they give me on my friends *wheres the logic* but i think i do it coz i know they understand ^__^ i havent gotten in a fight in skool before either (in primary and secondary skool) but quite a few ppl leave me alone coz my primary skool friends used to say that i was "hard"* to other ppl and others listened to them and left me alone. Anyway...super powers...ahh yes that would be the day...i know im gonna go and invent a way to get me some supe...i mean ermm i have to go...bye *dashes off*

*hard is a slang term over here meaning strong or summin like that, not sure if they use it else where?

[Shiro MS08th]

hmm.
I can control my anger pretty well.
No more fights since way back then, anything can be settled easily.
The last time when I get angry was some guys teasing me while I'm in a bad mood and still have to finish some dredded project.
I just yell back at them and cool down myself.

[BME]

Yeah, I can control it pretty well, never go around breaking stuff, to much of a cheapskate to do that.

[Kempis Curious]

I think it's okay to get frustrated, but getting angry means that the person you're angry with has control over your emotions.

Fr'instance, if a 3-year old child calls you a bad name, you shouldn't take it as a personal offence and get angry. This is because you shouldn't think of a child as a peer who should influence your emotions.

As for me, I think my ego has reached critical mass so that whenever ANYONE tries to anger me I see them as children, no matter who they are. Some have said I'm as serene and nice as a Buddha, but I wonder if I'm actually the most self-righteous a**hole that ever lived. :confused: I love people though...

And believe it or not, most of the time when people are doing something that might make me angry, they are doing it IN ORDER to make me angry. When they notice it isn't working they usually stop. :)

hehehe my ego is huge thanks to certain friends of mine. I can blow off almost anything anyone will do to me. However, if something is done to a close friend I find it very hard to control my anger, I'm only good at controlling my anger when it comes to things done to me.

[Tzurial]

I tend to take anger out on myself. Bottle it up till you die! Thats my motto

[Moon The Cat]

Sometimes I can sometimes I don't, but I usually control it very well.

[Timo]

I can't remember the last time I was really anger, it must be years ago.
It's really rare for me to get angry. ^_^

De last couple of years I have also been reading up on, and discussing about, several books.
This made me even more in control of myself.
It was mostly about (Chinese) philosophy but there were other subjects.
The most important books were, the "Tao Te Ching" from Loa Tzu, and, the "The seven habits of highly effective people" from Stephen R. Covey.
The first book is very philosophical and is widely available on the internet.
It's not copyrighted because it so old (might be older then the bible), so you can just download it.
I do have it as a book and I love it. ^_^
The second book is very practical and I would recommend to everyone. ^_^
Especially the first part of the book together with the first habit would really help people with a temper problem.
The book itself has something for everyone.

I'm going too much offtopic again. :heh:

I would like to know, What do you get angry about?

[Animaniac]

People think I never get angry... It usually takes a lot for me to get mad because I like to be as understanding as possible, so I can almost always see why people do things. In the rare case that someone manages to make me angry, I just keep it to myself, since no good comes from taking it out on other people. Though sometimes people expect me to be angry and take things I say the wrong way... It's an odd effect...

[Youko]

I have a problem with my anger. Currently, I have a police record for assault.

I was cut off by some kid. He crashed into me fishtailing.

I beat the crud out of him. 6 stiches under the eye.


And other instances..

[Mad Cat]

I tend to take anger out on myself. Bottle it up till you die! Thats my motto
Thats not a very good thing to do becouse i had a friend who did that and hes not alive anymore becouse he chose to take his life insteed of this other guys life (personly i would kill that son of a bitch for doing what he did to my friend but i guess it wont bring him back).
Dont get it bottled up and stored away becouse a bottle has it limits.
I control my anger by not showing emotion, i know that its not the best thing to do but if you supress your emotion you cant get hurt as easy as you would.

[Superchop]

I can control my anger pretty easily...it usually takes A LOT to get me to really be angry...

most of the time though i act as if i'm angry to give people the impression that i really am when i'm really not...doint this stops them from saying stupid things and/or doing stupid things to me...i was always a person that believed that if you show too much happiness that people tend to take advantage of you more often then other people...

as to how i release my anger...i'd rather hold it in for a while...then get back at the person in one way or another when they least expect it...it's just more fun that way...

[Ir0nExpress]

i rarely get angry, most of the time the "anger" becomes annoyance, i only get annoyed and even when i angry i can control it. Unless somethin drastic happens, then i would go ballistic and possibly cause injury to personel within a 20 ft radius.

[Kempis Curious]

Though sometimes people expect me to be angry and take things I say the wrong way... It's an odd effect...

hahaha yeah, It's funny when people expect you to be very angry and then walk on eggshells when you're around.

Some people don't understand an easy-going person.

[DAK]

hahaha yeah, It's funny when people expect you to be very angry and then walk on eggshells when you're around.

hehe, it's the same way with me. I'm a bigger guy (5" 9, 160lbs) big broad shoulders, everyone naturally assumes I'm violent and always angry. My friends (except for the odd one that truly knows me) assume I'm voilent and angry, they always watch what they say around me and try not to offend me. It really bugs me that they think I'm like that, it's really nice that the one friend of mine knows what I'm truly like which is a kind and compassionate person and that I will almost never get angry at anyone.. but I guess that's what I have to put up with.

Well as for me, wheres the fun in controlling it, using it is the fun part :p

Anyone of you guys ever get into fights?

[Youko]

I rarely get in an actually fight, per se. I mean by that, I was pissed off and seriously trying to injure that person.

As a fight in goofing off, and you and your freinds beating each other silly... that happens alot.

[0ink]

Reply to topic: Yes

[Amok]

This is an entertaining thread. For me, I tend to supress any negative feelings as best I can. There are times I lose it though, like when I stub my toe, then in my blinding rage go about dismantling the living hell out of the pain-inducing inanimate object. Then there's when I'm intoxicated... but those times dont count. :D

I have this friend... he has been to anger management therapy and needs to take medication to control his anger. He loses control over the slightest thing and proceeds to blow up like a blow-fish while spouting explatives that would make Satan himself blush. It's really fun to rile him up and watch him go on a tirade, me laughing the entire time... which makes him even more angry. He has a little boy about three years old I believe; it's rather obvious the poor little guy has inherited his father's emotional instability: He'll be penguin-ing around the house, fall and bonk his noggin on a coffee table or something... instead of sitting there and crying like most youngin's do, he'll stand up... look at said coffee table, ball his little fist up and bang the crap out of it until he's satisfied that the table poses no new threat.

His father says in 18 years he'll be ready for the Ultimate Fighting Championship.

[dragonz20]

in an argument, if you can control your anger and respond in a very controlled and quiet manner, you will more than usually irk the other person to no end.. if the other person loses control and start shouting back, u got the argument won. just logically think what u want to say and do it smoothly and it will irritate that person . my friend used to do that to me when we got into an argument and then i realized it was a very effective way of goading your opponent into making brash and unintelligent responses which u can strike down immmediately...

[Archuka]

I'm good at anger management. I get angry very rarely and even if I do, I don't show it. There is an exception to this, however. There is one person in the world who I know and he can make me very, very pissed. Once he annoyed the crap out of me so badly that my brain shut down and I just smacked him in the face. Afterwards I had this odd feeling, because I couldn't remember what I was thinking at that time, I only know I felt pure rage. Maybe I'm nuts? :heh:

[<^UmAyR^>]

WEll it all depends on what kind of a situation, if sum1 reall pisses me off, theyll be on the ground staring at the sky soon

[NenMaster]

when im angry ive got a vain popping out the side of my head

Yes, I'd say so. Brain shut downs are never a good sign. And just imagine if you had been holding a hammer or a broad sword!

[dark_breaka]

I'm ok about handling my anger but there was one time that I just couldn't handle it anymore since someone at school just kep bothering and making fun of me that i just snapped and all i remember was the guy on the ground and me stopping on his face with my foot and some friends pulling me off the guy

[Baba]

I guess I get angry just like anybody else, but in my whole life I've never "Snapped" like some people do when they are really, really angry. I've come close once or twice, but it never actually happened.
I think I kind of fear the day when it will happen, if I really snap I might do something terrible.

[ElvenPath]

Hmm just like Hulk, when i get really angry... i burst out :frustrated:

[Moon The Cat]

I turn into a toad when I get angry.

http://www.biellauno.it/fata_ariel/rana/immaginirana/rana.gif

[Hot Ice]

Because of my own stupidity and lack of motivation, I get angry at myself. Does that make sense? :: I think it does ::

What do I do, I SCREAM, of course when no one is around. But I'm passive aggressive though. When someone angers me, I just let it go by satisfying myself in other recreational activities.

:: oh, I don't think that's good :: :: yeah, it sounds like I'm a sissy :: lol

[Tzurial]

That makes sense Hot Ice! Thats what I do too! Screaming is great but I can never seem to get it out... so I usually end up mumbling incoherently, and unfortunatly its when other people are around, and its usually at my toast..(even though youre the only one that understands me! Im sorry, my toast!) hmm.. And I wonder why Im so unaproachable... ^_^ hee

[svndezafrohman]

when i get angry you dont want to be around me

[ZGMF-10A]

i can control anger but if i am in a really bad mood i will get so angry in seconds....... :(

[Kawaii_Sennin]

A good way for me to vent anger is to bake pastries. I got so mad at my dad that I had enough cookies to end world hunger.

[boneyjellyfish]

Can I control my anger? No, but that should be painfully obvious to everybody here :D

Just kidding, just kidding!

[Kawaii_Sennin]

I haven't incurred any anger from you yet. Maybe I should later this evening.

[boneyjellyfish]

Mwahaha! Nobody ever expects the wrath of a jellyfish... but you, you are a different one! You seem to have trained your body and soul for just such an occasion :D

[Gaara11]

:bash: how's this for anger management? or :argue: or :frustrated: or :fingers:
now I've gone berserk :eyespin:

[PiGGiEE]

I can :upset: hold :argue: my anger :frustrated: well... I think... :bash:

I've been frustrated alot these past few years just because I'm living in redneck city... people have a habit of bumping into me, giving me nasty looks, etc... around here... amazing how people can still be so behind the times around here and stuck on the whole racial thing... common its the year 2003... they need to get with it... we've all been living together now for how many years??!! Sigh... so yeah... I get angry alot at some of the people that treat me like crap around here... so that's why I tend to stay home alot. Or sometimes... I'll get away and drive up to Vancouver Canada (only 2 hours away)...

Hmmmm I get really bad road rage... but I'm working on it :D Not easy having a clean driving record and praying it stays that way and avoiding bad drivers on the road that are steering right into your lane without looking. :p

How I long to move away... maybe someday soon ;)

[Blue_Shocked]

I don't know what it is exactly but its like i just can't get mad, i may get kinda mad for a minute but it never lasts, it may sound odd but its almost like i can't get mad.

[GATX207_Blitz]

I can somewhat control my anger...when I get angry at a person I tend to vent it by wishing upon them illthoughts (this happens mostly when I drive)

Man I hate people who weave when they drive. That makes me so mad because their driving so fast to get somewhere that they don't need to be. They think there so good at driving when in fact they are causing a more hazardous environment. I also curse at them because they can't here me.

When it isn't driving, I usually just remain quiet and stop responding to the world like a shut down kind of thing. So like when the person gets tired of insulting or arguing with someone who doesn't do anything they just quit and I feel better

[Lst2touchdasky]

Rarely. I lived with 3 sisters all my life- I probally have the patientience to wait for a turtle to win a race.

[Mitsu]

I have barely any control over my anger but when I do ime very quiet and I dont say a single word but if I cant is another long long story!!!;)

[Cats]

Of course everyone can sometimes control it and sometimes.. well.......
It's not more can you control it, but do you even try!.. well I do.

---------------------------------------------
*lol* Necro-Posting fun fun fun ^___^

[Jinto]

And sometimes it is better for one's psyche to let it out - controlled ...instead of surpressing it... before it accumulates to a uncontrollable kneejerk reaction :heh:

[Knightmare213]

I say it's better to let it out sometimes once a while, and that pretty much helps you to control your anger. Of course, it should never be released upon a person either emotionally or physically.

To relieve my anger, I have my pillows to beat on and my video games.:heh:

[WanderingKnight]

Beh, whether one gets angry or not depends entirely on oneself, and how does one hold societal pressure--namely, with what amount of importance does one receive the pressure from the stereotypes of society.

[Yellowflash221]

Yes I can control my anger but sometimes I don't want to control my anger so I just let it all out. I have a lot of bottled up anger and I'm just waiting for the oppurtunity to let out my anger.

[Cyz]

Me...well, I'm having trouble controlling my anger. I was able to but I will burst sooner after that. Anything that starting to annoy me (i.e. something's not working right or maybe people) will let my blood boil easily

[Korean_boi]

not at all. im very prone to anger easily. i think it's something like tourettes. when somethign gets me mad, i have to hit something. im a big guy, so i usually end up breaking something....

i got a 93% on a calc test due to one careless mistake.

here's my latest work
http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y234/wasabi911/california_patch_01.jpg
it's been there awhile, everytime i have buds over they have to stick their hand in it i guess, it just gets bigger and bigger and bigger...

i'll patch it up someday

[Silver Dragon]

Hope your not proud of that, anger is a serious problem.
I dont tend to get angry, just annoyed or irritated, when I do get angry, watch out.

Lol necroposting

[-KarumA-]

aaah anger, as to controll, i can controll it to a certain degree, i cant stand people yelling at me so i yell back, but i hardly ever go to a degree that i beat someone up

only if youve REALLY pissed me off would i give into anger, like trash my stuff on purpose or start the fight

[manta]

EC so EC to control

[Gaiarth]

I've got a 'flashpoint' temper. Most of the time I'm incredibly laid back, but then occasionally something will just hit me the wrong way and I'll go from calm to furious in less than a minute

In my youth, this meant I got into a lot of fights over silly things. As I'm a big guy (6 foot by the time I was 12) I generally won, but I'd end up feeling really ashamed afterwards.

These days I've mastered the technique of walking away from whoever is annoying me and taking it out on some inanimate object. Of course, if it's an inanimate object that's annoying me, I do tend to wreck it. I once shot my stereo because it wasn't working. (Hey, if shooting AV appliances is good enough for Elvis, it's good enough for me :) )

[iluvnuriko]

I erupt like an unleashed volcano with all my pent up fury. Wanna know how I can unleash a little less fury.

[ShinjiSG87]

I'll do silly stuff like throwing, shouting suddenly, do things that makes people notice me and such. but when i'm sick i stay still and get my heartache peacefully. life is short! live for yourself not for others!

[Deathkillz]

i tend to just let my anger out most of the times depending on the situation but imo thats a lot better than holding it in...i find people who are calm for most of the time a lot scarier when they go beserk...(like my dad) ~ he once told me something about his personality that is really quite true...

he says:
"my temperament is like a water tank...constantly being filled with little things that pisses me off represented by drips of water...i wont get angry as long as the tank doesnt overflow with water...but it also has nowhere to go to...im like a ticking time bomb ready to explode...be aware..."

sends chills down my spine when knowing the fact that the next time i argue with him can be my last :heh:

[Risaa]

It takes quite a bit to make me angry, and I'm like what most people have said... I tend to bottle it up and just snap somewhere along the line. I almost never hold grudges though, so I can't stay angry about something for long anyways. :)

[ibreatheanime]

I am usually a laid back person, however everyone gets angry sometimes.

When I am terribly angry I just go home and scream really loud. Its a safe way to express anger w/o disturbing people, or damaging things. (like walls Korean Boi)

[Spectacular_Insanity]

Let's just say I'm a slow-burning fuse. However, that fuse is connected to 160 tons of TNT. I think you get it. ;)

[crystar]

I don't normally get angry (or show it). I tend to smile and get sarcastic when I'm angry. But yeah, I don't destroy things, or punch things and I certainly don't take it out on others. Unfortunately I have grown up to dislike people who can't control their anger. While I understand it's very hard to, and that you should let it out once in a while. There are just too many people who unfortunately let their anger out on other people. And it just hurts others.

[Spectacular_Insanity]

Sometimes, if I get angry, I do just that. A lot of times, I continue on with whatever I'm doing, and I don't even respond, or show any sign that I heard at all. It's the best kind of comeback: making the other person feel as if what they said was so insignificant to not even warrant a reaction (because a reaction is what they are looking for in the first place).

[Korean_boi]

mm, anger is somethign that usually gets me in trouble, if you guys saw my hole-in-the-wall post it really isn't something to be proudd like the guy posted beneath me. but once in a while, it's really nice to let it out. i just do it very frequently...not healthy at all...

but it sure is fun!

[Crovax]

Haha, I rarely get really angry. And when I do, I tend to cool off pretty quickly, I just make all sorts of messed up revenge plans which I then never execute unless I have the immediate opportunity to do so. ^_^

[xuchorz]

i can get angry but i never get violent because i get so angry i get scared because one time back in school i got so mad i beat a kid up and i was scared shitless at the time and so basicly i just nervously laugh whenever i get into a fight

[Reno]

Anger is a big problem for me... especially at the beginning of my teenage years. I used to get angry at my brother all the time because HE got angry at me for the way I acted. I never understood why he never tried to talk to me about it... or try to help. I mean (yes he's older) he went through it once so... why get angry with me. :(

I still do get angry but.... don't say anything cos I know he won't listen.

[Sasuke_Bateman]

Having a big ego like i do anger becomes a huge problem but just keep telling yourself you're above the people who are annoying you...sadly that works for me.

[Gemstar]

If you get angry about something , you should deal with it @_@ . If you don't do anything then it can happen again. When I get angry I think " ok I don't like what this guy is doing and I don't want it happening again. "If he is insulting you and it gets you angry , I mean if you tell him to stop and he doesn't why not hit him ? I mean you did tell him to stop. And if you get beat up well and he continues to beat you up well , you give it another shot. Keep trying until you get what you want.

[Row3a]

when i get angry nobody realizes it, because i not the type that just bursts in anger, but when people keep on pressing my buttons i go BOOOOM! not usually but sometimes, :p

[aka Providence]

mm, i have so much control over my emotions that it's a little bit frustrating that i don't get angry, in a way. when i start with the insulting stuff i'm generally amused with the exchange of words. not to mention, if i become annoyed/irritated over the actions of people, i usually forget in an hour or two. i can't remember any major fights with my family/friends at all. maybe it's my big ego, or something.

[JustInn14]

I get super ticked off at times. Like when my computer got a Worm/Virus thing, I wanted to beat the CRUD out of it! Lolz! :p

[aka Providence]

mm, if i remember correctly, when i was a wee lad i was a total brat with a short --yet rather unusual-- fuse. i bit some of my classmates back then.

[shiro83]

Depends on who is around me. If I am alone, I can go wild. If familiar people are around, of course not. Need to control myself.

[Kristen]

I'm actually extremely good at controlling my anger. Generally, I get rid of a lot of my anger by unleashing it onto fictional characters I write. Instead of hitting a person in real life, just make a character to emulate that person and have the 1st person narrator hit them. Works just the same. ^_^

But sometimes, I do explode. And I have been told that when I explode, it's really scary, because it's often unexpected to ever be seen out of me.

[Comrade]

I rarely get really angry. Mainly because I am can laugh at myself and have a good sense of humor. It really helps to see things from the funny side instead of getting all worked up.
About loosing my temper when I'm REALLY pissed off, it has only happened once in my entire life. My mother (who is a psychiatrist) explained to me that's because I'm one of those people whose temperament is classified as "A very long fuse with lots TNT at the end".

P.S. I really love this line from the movie "Anger management". It's where that doctor explains the main hero about anger.
"There are two types of people in this world. You see the first type every day, at the supermarket, yelling at the cashier for not accepting their coupons. The second type is the cashier, who quietly takes that crap every day and finally shoots the whole store."

quote:
If you get angry about something , you should deal with it

I agree - when you are angry about something, you need to react to it. 'react' does not mean throwing or breaking things, but (for instance) 'I don't like what you did, and it makes me upset, I think it was stupid of you to do it, and if you value our friendship don't do it again', and say it in a clear calm voice. Otherwise the anger does not go away. It stays in you. And then when things upset you more, and you bury them, it accumulates. And this is how those guys go postal after working at the same place for 25 years, and everyone sits there and asks 'what happened'?

Anger is meant to empower you for action. Use it correctly and it can...

[Defron]

I have only had one incident that I can remember where I couldn't control my anger.

I am a pretty mellow guy most of the time, so any anger (besides when I drive) is fairly uncommon and usually I can vent my anger in a non destructive manner (well, unless you are a piece of paper).

[Generic Asian Guy]

I'm not an out-spoken guy; I keep most things to myself.

In the event someone angers me, which is rare, I usually get even more quiet towards them, and I usually ignore them.

Since I am technically-inclined, they may be the victim of a "mysterious hard-drive mishap", depending on the extent of the committed offense towards myself.

[Dxon]

I cant control my anger.. I give myself an anger bar to make it easier for you people to know what im talking about. ;)
[........|.........|..........|.........]
0.......25......50........75......100%

Whenever im about 20% thats just being annoyed. I control my anger then.
At 50 im already pissed. :) Cant control that anymore.
Pretty logical that I cant control 75 and 100 either. :D
At 50 im just pissed and not responding to nearly anything and stuff..
At 75 im really pissed. !!Dont come to close!! You should leave me alone at 75. Whenever someone is bothering me at 75 every second i get angrier. (How should I know why..) Even when you just stand next to me saying nothing. Even if I dont know you..
At 100. Im going to kick ass.. (not cool..) I go on a rage using anything that I can come up with to hurt the "enemy". One time I had a fight at elementary school. I was like 9 years old and I was on top of the other kid and I was just bashing face in. When teachers pulled me of him (I kicked him in the nuts too. With my knee! xD) they saw his face was red and blue! >o<

Between 80 and 100% im shivering of adrenaline. Ready to give a punch in the face. :P

Think different about me now? xD

[Whitemoon648]

It all depends. If you are tired, its harder to control anger. In general i can control my anger. I do get angrey from time to time but almost most of the time i control my anger. When i feel i am angrey , i just dont talk. I will not reply back.

Getting angry at people will just make them upset at you, and then later on you will get sad from being so angry at them. Its a lose-lose situation, so i try to never get angry.

i tend to just let my anger out most of the times depending on the situation but imo thats a lot better than holding it in...i find people who are calm for most of the time a lot scarier when they go beserk...(like my dad) ~ he once told me something about his personality that is really quite true...

he says:
"my temperament is like a water tank...constantly being filled with little things that pisses me off represented by drips of water...i wont get angry as long as the tank doesnt overflow with water...but it also has nowhere to go to...im like a ticking time bomb ready to explode...be aware..."

sends chills down my spine when knowing the fact that the next time i argue with him can be my last :heh:

Not true. They might seem scarier but they arent. Its just that since they are always calm, its scary to see them angry.

[Seditary]

I purposefully make myself angry for a few minutes each day in private to 'let it all out' so I'm pretty mellow all the time outside of that.

I guess you can call that control?

[King Lycan]

I dont think u can control an emotions if u could i would be very very cold
but u could maybe punch a pillow or something i dont really get mad that much

[Reckoner]

I've been in over 20 fights. Never been the instigator of such trivial commotions in my life, but I certainly didn't help end them. I have a tendency to not keep quiet after people anger me, usually making extremely snide comments and such. It always leads to trouble and well they answer with their fist. Thankfully an unfortunate physical injury hasn't occurred just yet. I am brooded around a lot of bad energy in my life so I am always on guard against people looking for a fight. Its better than bottling it all up though.

So no I do not control my anger very well.

[anti-random]

Alright, I only ever lose control of my anger on my sisters. No, I don't f#$@ing hit them, we just have one hell of a shouting match. With everyone else, I find that its much more easierto be cool and cold when your angry and just make snide comments to people when they pissed you off.

[Yaoi_Daisuki]

i can control my anger real well. until now i have yet to show my anger to any of my friends. but when i lose my temper, its pretty much deadly haha. only my families have seen my anger (u know there is once my sister and mum pissed me so much)

[serenade_beta]

I can control it pretty well.

Well, not with my family. For some reason, it's just soooo much easier to be open with them.
When I'm really mad at my family, I get considerably dangerous. A bit too dangerous, but I'm careful not to damage my own property.
I also shout really LOUD when I'm pissed off. Opposite to what my usual talking volume...

Outside of my family, I usually don't get mad. Well, I avoid people I dislike anyways...
I probably seem cold and introverted to outsiders and strangers... Not that I care about them either.
There are some that irritate me with their existence and I can't avoid, but I only verbally retaliate with snide comments at those few people.
So far, no fights~. Not that I would get into one. No profiting in fighting, and I would only get hurt.
The only thing that would make me even talk to strangers in my surrounding is anime-talk or manga-talk (or game-talk). I'm fine with people that I know.
Though recently, I've realized that besides a few people, I don't know the names of the ones I interact with... -_-
I try to avoid calling by their names, because I don't want them to know I actually forgot...

[aohige]

Anger... can you control it?

Why, of course. Any civilized person should be able to keep his/her emotions under control, and restrain your contempt for others.
Otherwise, we would all be labeled an uncivilized barbarian.



.... Now get the hell off my lawn, before I make another hole in your ass with my sawed off shotgun in my hand, ye hear me!?
That's some prestige grass you're stepping on you &@#%(*@#%!! :frustrated::frustrated:

[ichii]

I usually can control my anger, but some ppl have a talent of pissing ppl off and then i usually knock them out cold. :)

[johnthesifu]

"Controlling" one's anger..hmmm....i dont keep it bottled deep within me instead i release my anger physically on something. (there is a boxing bag and lumps of weights in my room for some strange reason) :D

[Whitemoon648]

Then you cant control it, if you get angry enough to knock them out cold when they piss you off *_*. ( I know its a figure of speech But really dont knock them out cold *_*)

I will give you a tip as how you can piss them off alot worse than they are pissing you off. Its not a mystery. Its simple:


" Ignore them" .



By simply doing, these kind of people get sooooooooo pissed that you cant imagine. If you let in and even reply back one or two time, it will not be as effective. So just ignore and piss them off for pissing you off. Cheers :D.

[ichii]

It's the best way to get rid of bully's tho, ppl that terrorize other ppl just deserve a beating now and then :p

[HASHIRIYA]

anger management is what stealing getto smurfs are for, they won't fight you one on one so go find on on there own and let it all out

[~Chakra-Chan~]

Seems to be differnt from time to time...sometimes I am able to control if, but most time I am not...it hurts people around me...that´s why I try to find a way to control it every time it occurs.

[Goshin]

I used to not be able to control my anger. I'd keep holding it in for months than every once in a while someone would piss me off and let all my anger out, either on the person, a nearby object, or baby panda :) however after learning a bit of martial arts from a friend that was taking real classes(I'm to to cheap/broke to pay for real classes :D) I was able to control my anger to a better extent. of course I'm not perfect so there slips up. but do my best cause I'm more dangerous now and know pressure points :D

[Onchuu_Norin]

When it comes to anger, each person has their own kryptonite. Some things might make one person angry,yet to another person it won't really matter to them. For me, it depends really if I had a bad day or not. I usually can't really control my anger when a lot of unfortunate things happened during the day.

[Gemstar]

I think anger is like a balloon being filled with water until it is ready to burst or a bucket filled with water until it cannot no more, the water will come out. In this case the water is the anger. For me I can handle anger anytime anywhere but if provoked through a period of time or even at the time it is happening and I know for sure it will be a while till I can stop the source of the anger I will pop and do whatever my body pleases. If by chance I can prevent the cause of the anger happening to me then yes I can control it. If only a little I can control the cause that would be enough for me. I think the reason for anger is your body trying to make itself feel more comfortable and it is trying to adjust to its' surroundings in its own way since everyone is different. And also the limits/capacities/ability of everyone to hold/control anger is different. But it has happened to me and I sure can say it feels dam good when you get to release it, not saying it is a good thing to do but it helps your mind and body become at ease.

[Solais]

I can control my anger very well. Most of the time, even if they punch me, it doesn't make me angry. However nothing can make me angry as that when somebody spill water at me at school when I'm studying or eating. Yeah, they love spilling water around the classroom.

[Takeru]

Yes, today is a perfect example. I was severely pissed off, to the point that i wanted to take out a wall with my bare hands. What I do is sit down by myself in my room, don't talk to anyone and just chill with my music for about an hour or so. If that doesn't work, there's always a good relief in having a nice long rampage on GTA. Mostly, if it involves another person I can usually shrug it off, say to myself "they'll get over it" (even if this statement is not true), and that usually takes care of it and I'm back to thinking all is right in the world...or at least, my part of it.
Oh, not to mention the 3 years of karate that I have that also helps me to realize that control is needed before i end up killing someone.

[Amray]

Yeah, sometimes. When I get peeved I am not as bad as some. I just raise my voice a little bit and just talk to people as if they are stupid. I do not go absolutely insane...well not all the time. I can go aggro. I usually just get a tad moody though.

[Daughter!]

I can control anger pretty well, probably because know one is an asshole to me.

Also because I hate those people who say stuff like "when I'm angry I have to let it all out.

[Zaseka]

I don't really get angry that much, I'm pretty indifferent to most of the things that usually make people mad. If someone in particular wanted to make me angry, I'd hold it back no matter what, maybe make some snide comments back or just ignore all together.

[Narzia]

I rarely get angry, and if i do it's no problem since i'm a master of suppression. I often get remarks like "why're you making that bored face? (You should be angry right?)"

[DunRz]

Well sometimes,i just ignored but if it's something which i don't like to hear or pisses me off,i would just throw things and say bad words and stuff.

[Tornix]

Nowadays it takes a lot to piss me off, but I had a short fuse as a kid. The only person today that can consistently make me angry is my brother. He really knows how to push my buttons. :heh: Even then, I don't get violent at all.

[Terrestrial Dream]

Anyone got any tip on how to control my anger? I get angry too easily even at the slightest thing that annoys me.

[Hs Vi Germania]

I try it. ;)

[christine_cute]

i don't get angry easily and as a matter of fact, i mainly get angry when someone insults my family or friends........

[bhl88]

I keep it inside me like a volcano. (then it goes dormant when I use the laptop)

[MUAHAHAHAHAHA]

I try my best to control it but there is no way I can keep my cool all the time.

[KORAbanchou]

Not too long ago i was very aggressive, but i'm starting to get really good with controlling my anger now.

But, if you hurt my friends i will hurt you. :D

[fallschirmjager]

As a matter of coincidence I had a really bad day at work today and it stems from the assistant manager.

Jesus, he pisses me off. If there's anymore days like today in the near future words will be said.

[FragrantFlora]

I can control my anger. I probably just get irritated then forget about it.

[KimmyChan]

I very rarely get angry, but when I do, oh boy does everyone know it! :p

I'll more than likely cry & get upset than get angry & annoyed over anything & for whatever reason :)

[Anisha93]

I get angry very easily but i know how not to lose control and act calmly(I show my anger in a calm way^^).

[kayote]

it takes a lot to get me angry i have a very high tolerance level. i only get angry in certain situtations and i just either get ready to hit that person and then take a breather and unclench my fist. other times i just breath or walk away.

it's quite hard sometimes to control it but, i have not hit a person yet and hopefully will continue to do so.

[Lord Uiruu]

you better not make me angry... i get MAD when im angry!!!!

[FragrantFlora]

If I happen to be feeling like a volcano, I usually rush to a close friend and discuss it. I am capable of sharp anger though. I remember snapping at this guy in class because his irresponsibility was going to foil our groupś grade.

[Fate T Harlaown]

Back then I couldn't, now I can. Watch the Aria series and you might understand why. >=D

[idiffer]

hm, difficult to answer. i actually dont remember the last time i was really angry. i know that when i am, i tend to release the anger right away in the form of insulting words. most of the time i'm angry at a situation rather than a person. it is hard for a person to get me angry...if its a situation, then i just curse out loud at noone particular. it probably seems funny to people on the same street as me, when i cant find my way and shout out loud))

[klowny]

The last time i was really angry about something was about 5 years ago when i didn't have much self control on things and usually lashed out, i can say i have improved it but i get mad over the tiniest of things but then forget about it a few minutes later and go on with life :eyespin:

[GreatTeacherKen]

I'm generally much better at controlling it in public, not so much in private. I can't even count how many f-bombs I dropped while trying to get first place on all the cups in Mario Kart Wii on 150 cc mode. :heh:

[Akira Kogami]

I'm rubbish at keeping my temper.
I just seem to constintly blow my top off. >_<;

[Yoko Takeo]

I'm generally much better at controlling it in public, not so much in private. I can't even count how many f-bombs I dropped while trying to get first place on all the cups in Mario Kart Wii on 150 cc mode. :heh:

That shit's easy to do :heh:

I'm just playing. I sometimes find it hard to keep control of my anger, but I always found that anger only creates more anger on both sides of an argument. It's wasted energy so I always thought the best thing to do is to avoid arguments unless it's really worth something important.

[Dilla]

The only times I've shown outward anger are when I'm by myself, usually while playing a game or watching sports. I've been known to flip out when my favorite team loses or makes a bad play and I have thrown controllers and Playstation discs around before. I don't do that as much as I use to though, unless it's on a soft surface, them mofos are expensive and wasn't paying for them then as I am now.^_^

[RadiantBeam]

I'm incredibly good at controlling my temper. The only times I ever lose it is when someone's done something to really make me angry, or when someone worries me for no damn good reason. It's enough to make me completely explode. Otherwise I just keep it inside of myself though and control it.... which might not always be a good thing, now that I'm thinking about it, but oh well.

[Jacqueline]

I think I can control my anger fairly well. Though, when I am angry or annoyed by someone or something, instead of blowing up and shouting, I get incredibly sarcastic and stern. So, I don't necessarily fly off the handle, but that doesn't mean you won't know that I'm upset.

A lot of times, I'll go to my room and vent if something got me really angry, but I'll never openly lash out.

[Zu Ra]

I dont emote much, public display of emotions is over-rated and cheap cry for attention . Emotions were always a private thing .

I get irritated easily never angry . But even if I get angry I can control and laugh it off . Repressed anger is another issue, sometimes it does spill over .

[Cub-Sama]

For me it depends on the situation or person and the consequences: When dealing with a teacher even if he irks me and gets me angry I can laugh it off and still be relaxed when arguing and if they continue and I get a little bit serious I call them out on every contradiction and any thing they have done wrong.

With people my age I can get angry but since most people I know have friends/family outside who will back them up I tend to supress my anger knowing that even if I get in a fight and win they will not let it end there and I aint dying for someone doing something stupid and me not liking it.

Parents it depends on the situation but with my dad especially I tend to despise every word he says because he annoys me more than anyone else

With games if I get annoyed enough it takes serious effort on my part to not destroy anything and everything around me

[ChainLegacy]

Growing up, my temper got the best of me all too often. I would assume I have a genetic disposition towards an easy temper as my father and many of his family members have temper 'issues.' Despite that, I've made a conscious effort towards self control. So while I still get angry quite easily internally, I've learned to only let that anger control my actions when the matter warrants that sort of reaction.

[Theowne]

Anger? I don't have any anger. I am pessimistic and nihilistic, and I naturally expect people to do negative things. I don't get angry at people, because I expect it. If people do positive things, that surprises me and my mood is increased.

[Jeffry2009]

To me that I can't even control my anger management ever since i've been bullied during high school days (2001) until those trollers on my internet networking sites posted some RACIST comments & Stuff especially on Youtube & Myspace.

Even when someone being MEAN to me & something WORSE happens on me as well.

and even when I'm watching some of my favourite anime shows that makes me got on my nerves, seriously (Where was I? since It happens during 2006 times.) until anyone thoughts that i'm a Loser (which I was angry about it too). :(

[Cipher]

I can control it----if I've already hastily calculated the logical weighs of it. That's the problem, I think too slow and emotion is left to its own will.

[Uchiha Soul]

I'm the worst at controlling my temper, I lose it so fast, and when I'm losing it, I say everything came to my mind (no matter who is in front of me) and never shut up, if he/she/they say a word, I confront them with 10 maybe 100 .. Can't stop.

After I settle down (by myself coz no one can success of settling me down) my family or friends told me "you say this or that" I say "when?" I don’t remember what I told people when I get angry (I mean not everything) but I really don’t remember coz most of my talks (when I'm angry) are rubbish, is just came out coz of the anger.

People who know me well always say that although I am irritable but I have big kind heart... care about people and love to help others so much .. I can say that I'm very sensitive person with anger issue!

When dealing with a teacher even if he irks me and gets me angry I can laugh it off and still be relaxed when arguing and if they continue and I get a little bit serious I call them out on every contradiction and any thing they have done wrong.

U reminded me of myself... I & my friends love to annoy the teachers and when they get pissed, we laugh (it's just fun) but if the opposite happened, I mean if they intend to disturb us, we take it as joke in the beginning, but if I reach my limit I just explode and have verbally fight with them (don’t care of the consequence at that moment).

[xKeen]

My anger management is quite good,maybe.I don't lose it that easily and when I get really pissed,I get dizzy and continue to keep quiet.After getting dizzy I somehow don't feel that pissed anymore...

[Cipher]

I get dizzy

Me too, but not before blood rises to my head. At that point, anger is pretty hard to control.

[Narona]

I'm incredibly good at controlling my temper. The only times I ever lose it is when someone's done something to really make me angry, or when someone worries me for no damn good reason. It's enough to make me completely explode. Otherwise I just keep it inside of myself though and control it.... which might not always be a good thing, now that I'm thinking about it, but oh well.

It also depends on how the person expresses his/her anger. As for me, and even when I was a kid, when I am/was getting angry/mad at somebody, I don't/didn't "explode" like what most people imagine an angry person to be (yelling, screaming, punching walls, throwing objects, starting fights, etc.). I am/was whether leaving and stopping to talk to the person (and when i don't talk to somebody for days/weeks/months/years/forever, she/he can easily guess how strong my wrath at him/her is :heh: ), or being blunt / curt using strong words (very rarely insults though) - (that happenned on Asuki) - and both while having an emotionless face (it also happened to me to slap or kick boys, but that was rare and each time they deserved it even if it's unladylike :meh: ). Plus, I am not the kind of person who forgives people. And some might say it's a bad quality.

I don't know if it's better than somebody who yell with a very big voice, and throws objects; but not everyone expresses its anger in the same manner (and that's why my user title can be misleading about how some people here assumed I am :heh: ) while the feeling of annoyance is there. And in that case, even if you don't "yell, jump, and kick" I don't think it means that you "control" it. You show it differently, but it's there.

Anyway, to reply to the topic, I get angry not often at all, less than when I was a little kid; but can still happen, :meh:

The only times I've shown outward anger are when I'm by myself, usually while playing a game or watching sports. I've been known to flip out when my favorite team loses or makes a bad play and I have thrown controllers and Playstation discs around before. I don't do that as much as I use to though, unless it's on a soft surface, them mofos are expensive and wasn't paying for them then as I am now.^_^

:scared: o.o, I never lost my temper for things like that. But I heard stories about people destroying their controllers/keyboards and such :heh:

It also reminds me that:

PbcctWbC8Q0

<_<

:heh:

[Liddo-kun]

It depends on the place and the persons involved for me.
At work, my temper is very much controlled since it would give our place a bad name if I acted unprofessional there.

However, I did lose my temper quite easily (twice) back in college.
Because someone was spreading bad rumors about my friends.

[LeoXiao]

I control my anger. But that doesn't mean I don't get angry. Instead, I try to stay calm for most of the time, until/unless I feel the need to "use some force" to show I'm seriously pissed, in which case I'll either use some strong language or outright explode, depending on the situation. I only "explode" if the other person has gone to extremes as well, which no person outside my family has achieved (thankfully). But in a public setting, since the image I present to people normally is generally benign, it really scares people when I suddenly change moods, and usually this mood shift has the desired effect.

[FateAnomaly]

I am pretty impatient so i get annoyed/irritated easily but I think i am ok at controlling my temper. I don't get angry often and even when i do, i don't stay angry for long. Only two person ever made me lose my temper. My brother who think the world revolve around him and my mother when she keeps nagging.

[SaintessHeart]

I used to vent my anger on my musical instruments until I sold them to pay off my school fees, so now I rely my head.

Problem is, my anger lashes out so sharply when at my limits that it is impossible to tell from my expression until someone gets injured. Blissful when your face just freezes under stress.

[coderlan]

I can control my anger if I remember unrelated stuff like something good or something heartwarming lol.

[Walkingcatastrophy]

Hmm. Yeah, I control myself now-a-days. I used to fly off the handle and put holes in walls constantly. I think what stopped me from doing that is once I got my own place and didn't want to forfeit my deposit for repairs hehe.
