I'd a room mate before every time she get mad she didn't talk and just turn on her favorite music and that's when we know that she's not in good mood. So we didn't take time to bother her. It's the only thing that help her to calm down. How about you, do you listen to music when you're angry? What do you do to calm down your self?

hahaha. I guess I can't manage to listen to music when I'm mad. I love music and I usually listen to it when I'm in good mood. I also sing with it. When I'm mad, I'll just stay in my room, write my anger in my diary, and that's it. I'll drink a glass of water and every negative forces in me go away. I don't usually let anger control and destroy my day. I manage it as soon as possible so I won't have to displace my anger to anyone else.

I used to do that when I was young. I don't get angry very often now so I don't really have a specific thing to do.

I listen to music when I'm sad, happy, angry, excited, etc. What kind of music I listen to depends on my mood.

listen to music  - When it comes to listening to music, most people may choose to listen sad and lonely songs to comfort themselves, but I prefer to listen to the cheerful ones.
Everytime, when I am getting angry, I will tend to listen to some music to calm me down gradually. Uaually, when feeling bad, I won't talk to anyone and stay there quietly. Then I will try to cheer yourself up with happier tunes. When it comes to listening to music, most people may choose to listen sad and lonely songs to comfort themselves, but I prefer to listen to the cheerful ones. After a while, then I may calm down and everything goes well again. It is really helpful when people get into troubles.

I also listen cheerful and happy tunes when I'm sad because somehow it takes away the pain and I tend to sing along with the music. Thank you for sharing with us and enjoy your day!

well, i think its not jst the music that can calm you down but anything depending on one's personality.i agree with you that music is really helpfull in taking to to calmdown level,but if a guy/gal if intrested in lonliness ,would feel better in a lonely place,or what soever is his/her feeling. i like to chat on net,or browse on internet when angry.

Everyone of us has different way of releasing our negative feeling. Some would tend to go out with friends, or prefer to stay in a quite place and be alone, while others would love to play with different music instrument or watch movies. Thank you for sharing with us and enjoy your day!

When I am angry only time and the thought of the proper revenge calms me down. I don't listen to music when I am angry. Music is great joy to me and if I am angry , happy and loving songs would only make me angrier.

well, i listen to music all the time, whether i am angry or not. but i do have different playlists depending on my mood. when i am annoyed or upset, then it is all about the chugging angry guitars and lyrical content that is in line with my mood. whichever mood i am in, it is metal all the way. pantera is a great band to play when you are angry, phil anselmo is a very angry dude (that is the lead singer of the band by the way)

I usually played my collected songs everyday I can't survive to live the day if I can't hear my favorite songs. When I am not in the mood or in anger nobody can make me calm down only music. Really music can help me to take away my anger.

I listen music almost all the time except when I sleep. I love listening music -- it gives me energy -- add rhythm to life and creates passion in life. I have a collection of almost 50k songs of various genre.

Yes I do sometimes...but not relaxing. I like to listen to Drowning Pool - Bodies. Don't normally like that sort of music but it helps:P
