Anger should we vent it out or keep it to ourself?

Anger is an Animal Instinct. We all evolved from animals, so invariably we inherited that trait to get angry over things. For a normal person getting angry is inevitable. So, how should he handle it? There are two ways of handling it.
1) To vent it out immediately by shouting back or retaliate and drain out all anger.
2) To sink the anger within yourself. Try to use that anger to motivate yourself to perform better.
What would you do?
I personally try to keep away from people. Take my bike and go for a long ride in a nice road away from traffic and pollution.
regards

The emotion of anger should never be surpressed. It will eventually build up and build up until you one day explode and let it all out.
Everyone handles their anger in different ways. Some people say nothing, and go off by themselves thinking and rethinking and getting angrier.
Some people will face it right away, and get it out, then maybe they may feel better sometimes they feel worse.
Holding in emotions like this can cause stress, high blood pressure and all of the things we as humans would like to avoid.
I used to hold it in, but now I will vent and get it out.
Actually, mylot is a good place to release some of your anger.
There is a panel of impartial people here, who can give suggestions and comfort.
Anger should always be addressed, rather than holding it in.

I completely agree with your point about participating in mylot. It really suppress our anger at times. I am generally more of a reader than a poster. It is only these days that I have started to post

You can never just leave all of your emotions inside. You have to release it one way or another. Some have to yell and scream and harmlessly vent. Others need to take some deep breaths and go for a long walk. No matter which way is the way you prefer you can not just sit and dwell on it everytime something upsets you. It is not good for you.

Anger is an emotion like any other emotion,and it needs to be let out of the body to enable the body to remain healthy.I can see there are many times when you may feel angry that it wouldnt be right to let that anger out there and then,but later on you may want to go home and let off steam,punch the pillows and vent your spleen on sometihng,but not someone.If anger is bottled up it turns inward and it will make you a bitter person,if you cheat you body of allowing it to feel any emotion then you will dampen your senses and damage your system.There of course is no need for anger to be used to the extreme,and if that is the case then it may be necessary for you to go to anger management classes,to learn how to control your anger/emotions.There are many people who are capable of dealing with anger them selves,and do it in thier own way,but there are some who need to seek professional help,as their anger overtakes everything else.
