Many times curse myself for saying unethical words to any person when I am in anger which further results disturbances in life. How do you control your anger?

i dont really have any anger, im a calm person and can deal with pretty much anything. but there is this one thing that sets me off and i cant really control myself, thats if someone hits me in the face or touches my face somehow. i dont know what it is about me, but i cant really control what i do after it happens. other then that im never an angry person. anyone got suggestions on how i can get rid of or control this problem?

It can be very hard to control your anger. Especially when things do tend to fly out of the mouth in the heat of the moment. I try and just step away from the situation. Go into another room if I can. Get away from the person that is causing me the anger. Chances are that if they are causing me the anger, the situation will continue to escalate to the point of no return if they are in the same place. After being away from them, I calm down, take deep breaths and think about the situation. Determine exactly why I am angry and if I am overreacting. I try and keep myself from speaking. And this tends to work most of the time, but there are a few times where something just breaks inside and I cannot stop myself in time. Not something to be proud of but it occurs more often than I would like it to.

Simply take a deep breath and think a lot positively, I do always aware of my anger every time it attacks hehehe. Because I can't say anytime someone will annoy me. I just thought I'm the only one will suffer if I will fight back. At first it is hard to practice but as you always do it you can easily do it.

I never curse when I am angry, I only hit. I was able to control my anger before but it was hard for me to keep the anger inside. When I couldnt control it anymore I hit and I didnt like that. I still do it now but I have to control myself. I need to master myself. I need to control my temper. I dont like being angry because my anger leads me to say and do things that I am not suppose to do. How can I ever overcome this?
