Good day myLotters! :) Do you easily get angry? When you feel angry, what do you do? Do you dwell on it or find ways to resolve it and move on? What makes you angry?

I will usually go to the gym and work it out; there's a nice punching bag at the gym that I go to that can take a whole lot of abuse. I'll go there and let my aggressions out on the bag for a while, maybe lift some more weights, and then go face what made me angry in the first place if it's still available to me. I try not to deal with things that make me angry right away. I wait until I can get a level head and then go deal with it. As far as what makes me angry, I don't really know. There are pet peeves, but rarely am I really ever angry. Fake people is one of the top things that make me angry, right off the top of my head. Other than that, I don't really have a "list."

When I'm angry, I'll usually hit the gym and take it all out on the punching bag there. After that I'll call my homegirl and spend a few hours talking to her. I usually feel a lot better afterwards.

When I get angry,I will just try to control my anger.I will do that by getting away from that place and try to get some peace.You can not solve any of your problems with our anger,so the only way is to walk out of that place and try to resolve it in a better manner.Thank You.

No! I get angry very rarely and if I do get angry I go and wash my face and hands and get some water to drink and sit down to let it cool.

well, i do get angry very quickly and easily. well i have tied up a punching bag in my room here. whenever i get angry, ppl find me in my room taking out my anger on the punch bag. in this way, i have let out my violent stream on that bag, and controlled my anger in a +ve way. first i used to end up having fight becaus of my anger, now i dont :P. hmm.. betrayal, fake friends, faking makes me angry the most. espcially the people, who become your friends for just making use of your talents in their work..

I think you are a very patient person. Like you, when I am angry, I take a physical activity that would drain my anger away. I jog for thirty minutes or at least 5mi. I am happy to know that most myLotters do a positive way in dealing with their anger. I hope you would be careful in choosing your friends. There are always people who just find others as "means to their ends". Thank you for responding! :) Have a nice day!

my anger in the past is the reason why i easily get mad, i dont know why it hasnt vanished yet when i already cried for it. when am angry, i cry silently, i dwell for it for a while, and i think of some ways to resolve it. there are lots of things that can make me angry like stupid and hypocrite people, insensitive and unreasonable.

hi asselg1984! it's good that you release the anger that you feel instead of bottling them inside you. It is healthy and I believe you'll feel better after. there are not-so many people that would head reason when they are angry and it is good that you are able to find ways to deal with your anger reasonably and move on. Thanks for responding :) have a nice day!

Hello looves.... Wierd callers annoy me, most of the time the demanding ones really get to my nerves, and those subscribers who dont understand, I dont like them coz they make me angry and annoy me much. But these days I try to just laugh coz if not I know im the one affected.
