Would you prefer to scream to let out your pent up anger?

When I am very angry and upset I tend to go very quiet. I just dont talk to anyone at all. Screaming and shouting only upsets me more. I like to lock myself in my room and be all alone. Sometimes I feel relieved after I cry a lot.........

Once in a while when no one is around. It has helped to let loose all the pent up frustrations. I would not do it too often, for i find relaxation and meditation more helpful in letting go of theses emotions. It feels good though, and i would recommend it to friends once in a while.

Under normal circumstances, I can usually console myself with a walk amongst nature, but when my grandson passed away, I went up to the school where I was caretaker, stood in the middle of the big hall, and did exactly that... screamed out my anger, and then proceded to kick waste bins and what have you. Then, I turned my portable radio on very loud and started washing the hall floor. It worked, my friend. It got rid of my anger and a lot of the pain. Brightest Blessings.

Hello deepak! I have been a very quiet person especially if something's bothering me. I am not the type who scream actually..hehehe..My family would know that I am helpless over something when I am quiet. It actually helps me. But then, I agree too that screaming or doing something would help take out the pressure or stress to our body.

Hi Dipak, Anger or frustration need an outlet or ventilation to make you feel relaxed. I have seen people doing weird things in the name of refreshing themselves as they are angry. This is also true that suppressed anger or emotion could be harmful to your body and psyche. Thus your method sounds valid but there is problem. Where would you scream? If your room is sound proof it would be a privilege but in most cases we do not have that. In one form or the other it is necessary to vent out your mounting negative emotion.

i know it not a good thing to keep things inside. i don't know if i would go to the drastic measure of screaming. if i get really upset and people are really bugging me i might let out an uhhh. not a scream more of a leave me alone kind of a thing. im not too much of a yelling or a screamer to begin with but i guess if it helps you. i would suggest not doing that in a public place cause it could attract alot of unwanted attention. kids have a tendency of screaming when they don't get their way and i know my mom never liked it if one of us did that. i hope my little niece won't act that way when she gets older. the one nice thing about getting older we have more of an idea how to behave then we did when we were kids.

Sometimes, I do feel like screaming to release my stress. But I can never get myself to really do it. Even when I am alone at home and want to do it, I wonder if anyone else will hear it. I don't mean the kind that kids do when they are throwing a tanturm (I've seen that a lot with my little one and it IS irritating). I mean just a short scream to let out all those pent up emotions. I need some tips from you then:) When and where do you do it? I think out in the open is the best.....because it then feels like the emotions have flown out in the wind:)

Deepak, you make me willing to try at least one time. I am not sure if I am not going to scare my animals with my screaming, but for stress release, why not... I am not sure if I was screaming as a child...so I can try now... HUGS

I am not much of a screamer,it hurts my throat, but sometimes I really need to let some anger out. punching or kicking something helps sometimes. I think that what works with someone is what they should do. It is not good to keep anger - or any sort of emotional issue - inside or when we explode it is 3 times worse, not counting on how that affects our health. So each person should learn what works best for them and let that anger out. If it's yelling and screaming then yelling and screaming it is. If it's to break the new chine , then let it be LOL

Hi Deepak, I have not done the same yet and I think I am scared to examine the same (lol). If you find that it is good you can do the same in future too but be careful and make sure that nobody is around. Thanks for sharing your secret to be a cool person.

I dont really scream to let go my anger i just take a deep breath to lessen the emotion inside of me, but i have encountered that kind of person, i ask her why she scream every time she's angry, she told me that it really lessen the feelings inside of her and after she have done screaming she never feels the pain from her heart because of the anger. There was also a time that she went to the mountains and shout out loud and then let go the hatred which she was having inside of her and it really relieve her feelings.

Hi Deepak! Thats really sounds good to scream out when angry with out harming others. I have not tried it till now. Next time I will try it.

I do! I don't always like myself for doing but there are times when I just can't help it. Just this morning, for example, I had a lot of household chores to do, I am tired and I was feeling resentful in regards to the amount of work ahead of me and the fact that being a working wife and mum there is never enough time for me! As I was working I could feel the anger building up inside and I kept breathing in order to keep calm until I reached boiling point and I yelled, not at anyone in particular but I just had to scream! In hate it and my family hates it but I do feel a lot better afterwards!

I have tried this a few times when I was alone, but I didn't find it very affected. I really don't remember how it made me feel I just know I didn't feel any better afterwards. Usually if there is somehting bothering me I have to let it out to who ever is involved with it or if no one is involved and I just need to let it out I will cry. I find crying more affective than screaming, but then again I am a more quiet person and I don't like it loud around me so if I am by myself and its quiet you can bet I am not going to scream and be loud.

i have seen this in a movie buti have not yet tried it myself.(i dont remebber the name of the movie but the actress was konkona sen sharma).screaming is a harmless way to blow off steam.one can "go screaming" in the mountains or the desert or a meadow, go out on the open road with the car windows rolled up.(Pull over first!) The point is to discharge some of the negativity we're holding in those big, heavy thoughts, and that makes room for something lighter to take it's place

No Deepak ! I have never done this; Normally,at home , such a situation never arises because I know my limits and would not even ask for something if it would not be liked---so in the home front thankfully I have never had this frustration.But , there have been occasions where I am just filled with indescribeable rage and on such occasions I just splutter in rage and I also get tears of rage.[when it concerns a third party It is not weeping but I just get tears in my eyes on account of helpless, frustrated rage.I won't scream but I wuld just let off steam by recounting it to my husband.I myself would also come out with a solution , many times , but I would just speak about it at home.THat is all. There are also occasions when I would pacify myself that there is no point getting upset and I would think of some future course of decisive action. THere is another thing that I do when I am very angry--I walk very fast .THis has happened earlier.

No, I don't just scream. I yell at the t.v. when a umpire or ref blow a call in a game. I will root on my teams by yelling " Come On!" But to just scream, never.i perfer to plot. when I am angry I feel I think the most clearly . As soon as I find the proper revenge, I feel so much better.

Hi deepak! I think everyone needs a good anger yell at one time or another..lol..I have tried it too. I wouldn't dare do it around anyone though for fear they would haul me off for treatment..LOL..I think it's a good way to get out your frustrations sometimes but I'm more of the crying type. I don't cry all the time or anything but there have been times when I have let things get to me and held back my feelings. When I cried it made me feel better afterwards. A release I guess. Take care my friend.

I have a more subdued take on letting out my negative emotions -- be it anger, frustrations or anxieties. I write. I have a note pad where I write my thoughts. If its anger, I write why I am angry, what's causing my anger. I pour out everything on paper. After writing, I feel relieved. Just recently, my husband's scheduled flight home was rescheduled. He was extended for two more weeks. I feel frustrated. I wrote all my frustrations just like writing a letter to my husband pouring out all of my feelings. I re-read the letter, then threw it away. By doing this, my frustrations faded without hurting the feelings of my husband. My mind was no longer clouded by negative emotions and I understand the situation that it's not my husband's fault he could not come home on schedule.

Anger can be controlled in many ways...some would prefer crying, others just keep silent and other scream as you've said. I however would generally write whatever it is that's bugging me. I'll write until I've calmed down. Sometimes it helps to just talk. This is maimly bacause I don't really want to attract attention and when I'm pissed off, I want to get over it asap...so I guess I don't have time to drive off to the mountains :P...happy mylotting!
