Have you ever done something while you're angry and felt stupid afterwards?

i have scolded many a people when i get angry and feel real sorry for them after sometime...but ya once u get angry you need ways to put off and as far as i am concerned i feel putting the anger or showing teh anger on some one else would surely ease yourself...

SaintAnne wow I used to have such a bad temper I would throw 'things and then feel like an idiot. But I almost knocked my dear husband out one day when I was so angry about something, have forgotten now what it was even.I threw a book, and almost hit him in the forehead. He was one of those people who just never ever really go that angry. I think I was upset because he had lost his job, again. He was one of those people who cannot seem to work for someone else, but have to work for themselves. He started his own gardening servivce and did great at it. any way I have mellowed alot in my golden years. At least when I had that bad temper I never hit any person, jus threw things around instead.

[i]Hi Anne, When I am mad, I need to express it to the person who made me mad or else I will be stress out a lot! LOL! I will rant to her or him to release and clarify things! maybe I need to do like what you are doing so that I will not hurt a lot of feelings,, !LOL! Hope you feel better now, I guess that is more effective that counting 1-100 and again! LOL[/i]!

I usually tend to SAY things and feel stupid afterwards but there was once and to be honest I don't even remember why I was angry because it was like 4 years ago. I threw my cell phone and happend to throw it in the direction of the wall. It hit the wall and completely shattered. I had to go buy a new phone. Stupid moment #1082374204 in my life. LOL

I think that we ALL have done or said things that we regret. We're only human after all!

Lots of times, but now that I'm older and have kind of learned the hard way, I have better control. I used to be very outspoken and while I still think it's better to let the other person know how I feel instead of smoldering inside, I wait awhile to express myself instead of letting rip in the heat of the moment. This way, my words aren't as hurtful and I can see things from a more reasonable perspective (it's about trying to make things right instead of lashing out). Honestly? I burned a couple of bridges because of anger issues and I regret it now.

oh yes... many times... and i feel like a fool after that... i hurt my hubby's feelings with my harsh words, 'destroy' his study room and ask him to clean it up after that, destroy the wall of my house because i bang on them too hard, etc... and i do regret it after that... but you just don't think when you are angry and just do stupid things like that... i and my hubby are trying to control our anger better now and not be so emotional... take care and have a nice day...

Oh I do so many things and bite my hands after wards. Only recently, last week to be precise, I got so angry over something trivial that I chopped my hair short. Yes you heard it right. I chopped my hair to uneven edges and when I went to the parlour to have it done correctly, they said it was too short to be done. I did not want to make it shorter. So you can imagine what I am doing now...

Oh, so many times I have experienced this and never learn from my this mistake. I mostly leave my meal untouched and go out seething. But later the hunger pangs bring me back to my senses and then its too late.

I cannot say I have NEVER done that, but I haven't done it lately, like maybe not for 30 or 40 years. Sometimes we learn good behavior from good role models and sometimes we learn it from people who demonstrate bad behavior, and then we say, I will never be like that. My parents both demonstrated destructive tendencies toward other people and toward themselves and I vowed to grow up to be different, and so whenever I noticed I was acting like them in any way, I stopped and did something else. There was nothing to be gained from feeling bad about it, as everyone makes mistakes, but I made a point of not making the same mistake twice. Rage is a destructive habit and habits can be broken. As you say, however, it is much better to take out your anger on things than on people, and especially on yourself. Under some circumstances I would even say that it is healthier to throw a few things around and maybe even break a few things than to keep anger in and let it simmer away. There are other ways to make it dissipate, though, like getting out of the house or apartment and being with nature. It is hard to be angry when you are at the seashore or in a forest.

OMG Anne, you hide your rage well here. I can't knock you tho. When I was just about your age, I was furious with my first hubby because he was leaving me home alone with HIS child so he could go out & get drunk. I had just cooked him a special dinner & was looking forward to some enchanted evening. Well, when I hung up the phone, I walked in the kitchen. There was a box of Cheerios just sitting there minding its own business. I grabbed that box & threw it up against the wall as I screamed. One problem...it was a brand new full box that had already been opened. Cheerios flew everywhere. I cleaned up Cheerios for days. We lived in the same place for the next 3 years. It seemed every day I found a few more Cheerios. When we moved, I was still finding Cheerios!!! It was a GREAT anger management class...self taught. To this day when I feel like throwing something, the thought of Cheerios comes back to haunt me & I just sit whatever is in my hand down. It's just NOT worth it!!! Maybe by the time you finish cleaning your room today, you will have finished your self-taught anger management course!!! Best wishes my friend!!!

Usually Im pretty good about not acting impulsively, but give me a few drinks.. and yikes... lets knock on wood that I don't mix drinking with anger, because the next morning I'll be wishing it was all a bad dream. Lucky for me, I don't drink much anymore.

oh have i ever...My husband and I had an arguement about cleaning a cabinet. I was really busy doing something else and had plans for doing something else later as well. I told him that either he could do it now, or I would get to it in my list of things I need to do this next week. He kind of went on about it and started making me mad. He was just grumpy and griping So, I went to the cabinet in question, stuck my arm into the back and scooped everything out onto the floor. It felt great. I was mad, and then it was clean. Whooolaaaaa ok so I was having a little temper tantrum myself, but we have to let it out sometime. I wouldn't suggest doing in front of the kids. ( that might be my only mistake) But hey -the cabinet is clean and no complaints. He hasn't really bothered my about the cabinets lately.:-) Oh and it was sippy cups in the cabinet.

Hi buddies, Have you ever done something while you're angry and felt stupid afterwards? I will be angry and become stupid reasons for myself.I angry with my sister one back ago for simple reason i have shouted and angry very much on my sister. And after that i have done handing punched to my wall,i throw cloths.I have done like this for simple reason.Iam feeling stupid later i realise that i have done stupid things.What have ever experienced in angry and felt stupid afeterwards?

When I am in an angry mood I just go for a wlak to ven out my frustrations. It is not worth it taking it on others or on objects such as you did. Sometimes it is costly to repair what you have damaged both in terms of monetary and even in friendship terms. © ronaldinu 2008

there are times as well. i would be shouting at myself or made a promise to buy something or lose something. or don't do this and avoid this.. but still the same,. i would turn around and feel stupid and do the same all over again.. hmmm

I think there are times where every person gets mad and either does or says things that they feel bad for later,and I know I am guilty of this to,because there have been several times where I have gotten mad,such as at my parents,and either yelled at them,or slammed the bedroom door,which I felt bad for later because I know I should not have done it,but sometimes it is hard to control emotions such as anger and and Mr T really knew what he was talking about.

Hello, SaintAnne! I also have that problem sometimes. Especially with my husband. At times when he wants to tell me something and it doesn't sound fine with me, I end up nagging and talking continuously until all the past issues were brought out. He wouldn't talk and answer me back during those time, lucky me! He would just let the tension pass then he will try to talk to me. Just then, will I realize that I overreacted. Hahaha! Regards and have a nice day! Happy posting!

Yes. I do it all the time. I am not as bad as I used to be though. I have smashed a few plates, thrown a few things but thankfully never hit anyone. I think we have all done it sometime in our lives, but you learn to control it. I think it is better to walk away from things, go for a walk of scream. I think as long as we do not hurt others it is actually ok. We need to relieve stress sometimes. I always regret it and feel a fool, the next day or when I have calmed down. No. No, you are not a fool. You where stressed. As long as you do not do this everyday and hurt people it is ok.

When i feel so angry and sad i also throw evething i can touch unless it is very heavy and very expensive : ) So i always put books ,clothes, boxes, plastic material like you. I don't think it is a stupid behaviour , it can be useful to realse your anger and bad feelings.But sometimes i could be regret having make choice that convinced to be not good or true,but it is just the life,i can do everyting with my all intelligence.
