Upset at something, dissapointed or irritated. How are you expressing it ? Frowning,pouting, glaring, huffing, flaring your nostrils, Red faced, blabbering something or is there something different that you do ?

Boyfriend has this notion that short, Asian girls are fiery and scary when angered. He got this knowing me, my sister and another friend that fits the description. I do all those you mentioned and then some. But again, like James said, it depends on the intensity. I either stop talking at all or start yelling. I slam things. I become even more sarcastic. I start remembering things from the past that I thought I've let go of but obviously have held on to for future purposes such as the present disagreement. And I can't remember if you were in that discussion but yes, I've trashed my room just recently.

Fiery and scary. You mean with the nostrils flared , red faced and about to pounce. Yes, it does depend on the intensity SaitAnne. Thanks

Hahahaha... Let me think for right now I am in a quite good mood and cannot really figure out how I actually react. May be, my voice gets very much obvious of the turmoil I go through. The frowns with red face, dejection, blabbering all together, I guess. But I am smart enough to do it in seclusion, in complete solitude. That makes much sense, isn't it?

It makes a lot of sense not to let too many around see all those expressions Mimpi. It sure would be hard for them to understand it knowing the sweet person that you are. Thanks and keep smiling always.

The voice part alone would be simpler for people to comprehend and deal with. But they don't see the expressions.

But guess what if someone calls me then! They would get all that's going on inside. I cannot pretend and to be okay.

To be honest I am not 100% sure alok! But I think it would definitely include a healthy dose of sarcasm and short tempered behaviour and definitely some glaring would be involved! It all depends on the intensity of the situation really. If it is something minor then I will usually make some smart a@@ comment and then leave the room; buit if it is something more serious then the person at the receiving end will pretty much get the physical animation AND verbal barrage all at once! There is generally a lot of profanity involved too in most cases.

I guess a video recording of it would answer my question . Profanity and physical animation, , from a gentleman like you , hard to believe. Sure would not want to be at the wrong end of it. Glaring like in, if looks could kill you would be fried by now ? Thanks James.

I have said many a time here that for some reason I am far more congenial on mylot than I am in the real world. The only reasoning I can come up with is that I see this site as somewhat of a place to exercise repentance! I guess the indirect nature of an online community is far less stressful and in our faces like the real world can be too.

Repentance and ways of letting go in the formof quirkiness, I suppose James. I think a lot of us are this way. It's far easier to be congenial and pleasant with words here at mylot. Real life sure can be a different ball game. Thanks

I'm very vocal when the person that I am upset with is someone that is close to me, though when I'm not close to that person or when I'm really mad or upset I just keep my silence or back away so that the other person would be spared from my hurtful words.

All of the above!! But I find that being tactful and diplomatic yields better results. I mean, people would go out of their way for you when you're nice, even though the situation may be unpleasant. I believe it's called positive reinforcement.

I don't usually express what I feel. I prefer to keep quiet and do my own things. But I am quite hot tempered and I don't like to be pestered about something which I don't like. If I am in an angry mood, and someone poked me and made me more angry I would be nasty, depending on how serious he or she is making me angered. I want people to respect me as a human being. I don't like to jump and show my feelings, but somehow many people are taking my quiet approach as a weak sign and always take advantage of me. But there are times when I will be jumpy and when I do, the person would regret it for the rest of her life. I really mean it.

Some of us do just keep quiet,keeping our thoughts and feelings to ourself, but some expressions do show up, although we are not conciuosly aware of it ourselves. And people do tend to take advantage of the non expressiveness and silence. Thanks for the response.

When I am very very angry I tend to go very quite. I just dont talk to anyone then and prefer being alone in the room.

Good question, alokn99[ or should I say good question 99?]well I don't pout, I don't huff, but I glare, and stare, and get red on the face, and at the end I turn my displeasure wrapped it around my little finger and give it back to where it came from.
