What do you do when you're mad?

i just try to cheer myself up, forget the things that made me go angry or mad. i think its just a matter of how to handle the situation. no things can be resolved really when you do not take it slow and take it easy.

I am not a nagger at all. I will only ask one time period. When I get angry I usually go for a long run and try to settle down and think it through. The other day that worked until the person who made me mad only made me madder after the run...so I punched the wall... not a good thing but it had to get out of my body somehow!

Hello! When I am mad, I try to calm down, but if I am mad because of somebody then I turn all my anger to that person who mad me mad - shout to him, talk loudly to him...and then later, I understand that my behavior was really bad. Happy mylotting!

_Honey_, I will usually come up with an excuse to walk away at the heat of the moment. It is not because I am afraid of direct confrontation but I feel better to be in control of the situation than the other way round. I just feel that there will not be anything positive or good to argue at the peak of our emotions where there will never be a kind, good or loving words during those moments. Problems and emotions escalating will just make matters worse. There's just nothing cowardly when we walk away or be at the loosing end when and where it will not eat us up. If a scratch on our ego and pride can bring about a perfect and nice day, then I think this little sacrifice is worth it. To win a war, we just do not need to win every battle.

well i get really angry fast! but with time i've realised that nothing good has come out of it! plus i've noticed people being patient in order to get their job done. it really helps when a person is patient wth someone who is angry...as the angry person seems to relax a bit ! :)

If I can still control my emotion to keep silent, I will do. But if not, I am confrontational type of person, I will not let the sun down without resolving any issues. Nagging will not help, that will just cause more trouble especially when you get into heat argument and you're drawn away from the real issues. Many things will come up. But all that things will still depend on who you're going to confront. You should also consider their status. I mean if she is a child, a teenager, or adult. Things will still be in proper delivery of how confrontation will go to avoid additional conflict. Then, peace will be achieved.
