Hi friends ,
How do you react when you are angry ? It is quite nature that we all get angry sometimes. How will you react whan you are not able to control your anger on some one. Will you scream or shout at them ? or will you move from that place silently ? Some people show their anger in silence. They will not open their mouth when they are angry. What about you friends ? I will shout like anything when someone irritates me or make me feel angry before marriage. But now after marriage i think i had changed a lot. I have got the ability to control my anger and keep mum for some time.

I normally leave the place if something irritates me and avoid the person. That way, I'll prevent a fight, confrontation and talking in harsh words. I don't want to scream as much as possible because I hate the feeling aftwerwards. It's like you lost all your energy and regret what was said. For me it's best I could control my temper than to feel sorry later on. Anyway,I don't want people to shout or scream at me too.

Yesterday I got pissed off with this angry customer in front of me. She was just so impatient. I know all of us are customers whenever we go to a store. Please hear me, people of the universe, we, cashiers, are just trying to do our job and doing our best for all of you. Without us, there will be no stores for all our needs. .., okay just got carried away. Moving on, what I did ofcourse, listened to those blah blah she was saying and then I was like wanna argue back but since I care for my job and I'm educated, I didn't do anything and I stayed calm and when I gave her the purchases she just made, I said "sorry about that" and then she just didn't look at me because obviously she was angry. She was with her daughter and I hope when she become a grown up, she'll be the opposite of her mother.
In some cases, whenever I'm angry, sometimes I would just shout not in front of many people though, expect that I will be alone and sometimes talk to someone about it to relieve myself.

i used to keep silent and cry out during my childhood when i was angry.but gradually i learnt that covert anger is bad for you. you need to channelise your anger . so i gradually trained myself to speak out when i am angry or irritated over something.sometimes i too get carried over.those episode can be real bad.because i can sound pretty rude then.othertimes i try to channelise my anger in constructive way.

Thank you doormouse for your response. You are right getting angry makes our energy wasted. Instead we can channelise our energy in a good constructive way.

When I'm angry, I tend to keep quiet first and let myself cool down. I think that a lot of things can be said when you're angry. You can say a lot of hurtful things when you're mad so I try to keep my mouth shut until I am calm enough to have a productive conversation. I have the ability to keep my cool. I dont think yelling at anyone would be of any good. It's counterproductive and just tends to fan the flames on the situation.

Thank you friend for your response. It is really difficult to keep ourself cool and calm when we are angry. But practicing that may help us in many ways by not getting into any sort of mess or problems.

I usually make myself a very strong cup of tea so I can relax a bit, and then I take a very deep breath, so I can make myself relaxed and not hit anyone over the head or face.

Thank you friend for your response. I think those who are around me should be very careful and take some precautions befor you hit them over the head or face when you are in angry. Just kidding. Don't take it serious.

It really depends on the situation. When I was younger I was much more apt to let out my anger. Now, I tend to remove myself from the people/place and try to calm down before I speak. There are times when one is overcome and in that case, which is rare for me now a days, I will speak loudly, between my teeth, and I always point at the person. This is a bad habit which I was never really able to overcome.

Hi redkathy ,
Thank you for your response. I too try to overcome this anger many times in my life but i was able reduce a little only. Not full control over anger. But i think i have to control myself a lot and not to show my anger towards others.

Well, I always control my emotion and stay calm when I am angry.
I will tried to look from the good side of that situation and not over reacted.
If I angry to somebody I always says what I think that I should says that make me angry but in more calm and cool ways.
But sometimes if I can't hold my temper then I will says bad things to person that I'm angry with.

depends on how angry you are. if i'm not so angry i just keep mum, but if i'm really angry, my heart starts to palpitate, my hands also starts shaking and i can be really mean.i.e."MEAN". anyway, i'm a person who doesn't get angry very quickly and i can control myself upto a certain level. Thank you.

Hi friend,
When i am angry mostly i try to be calm .When i feel that if it goes beyond my control , i move away from the place , as this would avoid unnecessary problems. I never respond to the other person who shouts out of anger.

Hi deepa , thank you for your response. You are right that it is better to move away from the place instead of creating unnecessary scenes and problems. I learnt this only after some lessons.

I will react real savagely, I will shout and throw in bad language as do not have control over my reactions. I'm sure that once after 10 minutes I will start to regret my actions and say sorry to whoever I shouted at.

I can control my anger to a large extent. I hardly get angry. But on those rare occasions when I do get angry, I get either very quiet or shout at the top of my voice. I prefer to be left alone when I get angry. When I get angry it takes a long time for me to cool down. So I try to avoid screaming as that will then go on for an hour or so.

i prefer to keep silent when i'm angry,at this time, every words which was shout from my mouths is hard to bear by others around,i know i might reget that i shouted,so keep silent and take an thinking indeep is a good idea, sometimes, i would like to go out for a walking,other things would be changed my mind. good luck and have a nice day!

Generally when I'm angry I try to hold back and just keep very silent. And I normally expect the people around me to know and understand if I'm so silent it's good to keep away.

Hi Priyavivek,
It is better to close our mouth and sit simply for sometime.What we are going to gain by showing ur angry on somebody.After sometime we ourself will realise why we reacted for that simple matter like that.So it is better to think than react. This is not my policy but i used to say others..:-)
