How Long Does It Take For You To Get Angry?

Im a very understandable person so its not easy to drive me mad or anger, however i think it depends on the subject, by exemple some nonsense critics to womens. My st

I used to be the type to fly off the handle very quickly, kbourgerie, but age and wisdom have taught me the error of my ways, lol. Now I tend to be patient most of the time and not so easy to anger. I have tried all sorts of tools for anger management -from counting to 10 before I speak to meditation. I believe that we can all master our tempers with a bit of practice.

I think only one person in my life has even seen just how angry I can really get! And that's my ex, I never knew the extent of my anger until he came along! I was always placid, calm and took everything calmly and cooly and would shrug stuff off, I was easy going, sometimes too easy going. However that stopped when my ex use to wind me up and I would get so angry! My anger was raw and I would hit out, throw things and get really really mad, my blood pressure must have gone through the roof! Even tho' I have left him I am still booked for an anger management course in April that's how bad it got. I am a lot calmer now but I still need to understand how to deal with my anger and what are the causes and why do I get so upset and violent

i think it depends on the topic angering me. if it is something trivial, then i tend to take a long time to get angry. if it is something important then i sometimes snap easily. i've very sarcastic, so i tend to try the sarcasm first then sometimes i snap. i talk to myself and i also give myself a 5-second delay on any comment i am thinking of making, just so i dont burn my tongue with the fire..sometimes it works, some times not

I used to get angry right away, even with simple things from caught in traffic, work related activities, and many other things. But now, I usually control myself, and will always find a way not to get angry. Like for example, when I am driving my car and suddenly somebody pulls over blocking me without any sign or signal, I used to flare up, but now, I just say to myself, well maybe the driver has a good reason to do it, if I'm caught up in a traffic I usually curse, but now, I just say to myself that "oh well its traffic again, might as well read the news" Yes, I read newspapers when caught in traffic, sort of a diversion and I don't curse anymore. In our house when there are time, when I don't like whats happening and I see thats its about to create a heated discussion with my wife, I just say to my wife that we will just talk later. So usually, I go out for a short while, drink some cold drinks and when I get back, the discussion will be in a much lighter way. For me, I feel more relaxed and I have noticed that I feel better when you control your temper.

it does take some time to anger me. but i feel that i get angry quite easily too. the smallest things tend to make me angry. but i tend to keep it inside until i explode. grins i'm definitely not the happy go lucky sort. if i find myself getting really angry on the verge of exploding, then i usually take deep breaths and have a frown on my face so my child knows that i'm getting angry. it seems to work so far with my son. i usually try to stay away from my son or husband for a while as in do other stuff rather than face them for fear that i might vent my anger on them. but i usually don't vent my anger on my husband as he's worse than me. if he gets angry, he only sees his own way and usually doesn't even listen to others. so i usually have to be careful not to get him that angry.

I am happy most of the time and it takes alot to make me angry. As you get older you will find that things are not as important to you.....like little annoyances...don't bother you as much as when you were young. And there is very little out there that makes me angry now. And its wonderful to have it that way!

1 second ha ha... i get angry very soon though it won't last long may be a minute or so. I think it as a negative point in me which i need to change. Getting angry affects your health and may cause in losing relationships. To avoid being angry i simply search for my mind to get diverted into other things such as listening to music or just hanging out with someone else.

i bite my lip, depending on the out come of "going off my nut". if its going to hurt people i care for then more often keep it in. but then again, if you hit or hurt the people i care for then watch out.

It usually takes a lot to get me angry but you asked this question at such an appropriate time. I drove back from visiting my daughter in Surrey to Devon which is a fair trek because I had promised my boyfriend I would babysit his little boy tonight so he could go out. I have many, many friends in the Surrey area who I didn't have chance to catch up with as time was limited, get back to Devon for him to tell me he wasn't going out!!! It was one friends birthday this week and I could have stayed down and gone out with her. He knew the only reason I was driving back was to babysit for him so he could have text me and let me jnow. I have decided it is a passive control he is using by doing this (or total thoughtlessness) so have asked for my key back and organised alternative child care for when I go back to work on Monday. I'm not upset but when he told me he wasn't going out I was shaking with anger. It will be months now also before I can go again and try to see these friends. He couldn't even see what he had done wrong. On a positve note I am usually very easy going and usually let most things go over my head. Have far more patience now than when I was younger. Ellie :)

It usually takes a lot to make me angry but it all depends on what the circumstances of it are.

For me it hardly takes very few seconds to angry. I break something to cool myself, i know this is not the correct way but still am unable to control

Well, It depends on the situation if it's something to really get me mad,yes i wont lie, i will get mad but if its something not that big i just sit back and take it, but emotions is a part of life..most of the time when i get mad i just usually listen to music sing dancee. music has a big impact on my lifee it makes me feel good.

I do not get angry about myself much. Anger takes up so much energy I just don't see the point in it most of the time, I'm pretty passive usually. I will however get very angry if someone innocent is being hurt and no one is standing up for them. Abortion always makes me very angry everytime someone says something about pro-choice I just think, How do you not see that it is really pro-murder. You made the choice in bed already. Other things like child abuse, abused wives ect, makes me very angry that people would do things like that.

It takes me extremely long to get angry. But when so, I do tend to display that which the Little giant Encyclopedia of the Zodiac describes as the "fiery rocket of Sagittarian temper" and on the extremely rare occasions when that is in display, I would suggest anyone not made of asbestos step aside. I don't really use a strategy to keep my anger at bay because it never builds up without great provocation, nor gets hurled at the innocent. My motto is "Living Well is the Best Revenge" so I never used anger in a vengeful way, only to get large immovable objects moved, and only when absolutely necessary.

It takes quite a bit to upset me, for I just let things slide. It's like I have tried telling my 19 year old, words of others shouldn't matter unless the person saying them does. Now, once I do get upset, it's like an explosive going off. I totally lose my cool, and no one better be in my path.

I do not get angry very easily, and when I do I tend to be angry with myself for being angry. Actually this can be quite harmful if not rationalised. However, I find it very easy to be direct without being confrontational. I have seen people blow up over the smallest things and it just does not seem worthwhile. They become emotionally exhausted and whilst they sometimes win the battle, they rarely win the war.

It really depends on what or how somebody has done something that would make me angry. I dont really get angry that easily unless it carries on and on then I will start building up to the anger stage... I really try to keep cool when Im angry unless I really want to let it all out... Then I really will let it all out and it isnt pretty!
