Emotions are like farts, if you try to hold it in, it will come out in ways that you don't expect. Like farts, the best way to deal with them is just to let it out smoothly. Talk it out. Communication is the key.

I wish I could give you an advice because I have ways of holding my temper. However, what you need is an advice how to not show that you are angry and that is something I can't help you with. My friends always tell me that it is always very clear to everbody when I am angry. I stop myself from doing stupid things with holding y jaw as tight as I could and I guess I make some kind of scary expression and everybody stoart pulling away...

I don't think it is that hard to achieve, because I am sure if you put it as your goal, you will achieve it. My problem is that I believe that showing our emotions is what makes us human. There are times when it is better to withhold them, but in general I notice many people who are turning into robots just trying to show absolutely no emotions. Which is sad. Your anger makes you human. Your love and hate make you human... why would you want to be something else?

Thank you ,thewayis.In fact ,I don't know how to hold my temper,too.I just keep silence when I am angry,but I believe everyone know I get angry at that time.Maybe this trouble it's too difficult to solve.

hi langjipingzong wow what a name. aNyway I get angry quick at times so i just count to t en or twenty or even fifty until I have got control of myself again.Speak to your roomie but softly with compassion and explain she is being a bit annoying but you do not want to hurt her feelings. maybe she did not realize what she was doing. ask her to close the door for herself if she must come and go so often,keep your voice soft and low, let her be the one to steam. hope this helps
