Scenario goes like this, i was having an argue conversation with our doer when instantly my husband entered and defend the person i argued with. It was about the job entered into our business that our doer hasn't able to made, causing its hardness that even used with acetylene heat could not be softened. The doer yield and let it out without any charge. I understood the situation that we havent comply the target job. My point was i want a voluntary pay charge for using acetelyne heat. They reasoned out it as no pay.

I must say I have my fair share of blowing up in the wrong places because I couldn't control my anger. Sadly, those bursts of anger has humiliated me several times because I kept on saying things that I didn't really mean and made me look bad in the end. I think it's good though that you're acknowledging the fact that you may have a problem in controlling your anger. But one of our advisers shared to us that a good way would be drinking cold water and filling your mouth with the cold water without swallowing it so as not to talk instantly out of anger. I think that's a better way as compared to counting to 10 before talking.

Well if you will disgorge, I think it would cause a lot of laughter thus whatever conflict would end up in laughter. Hehehee...

That is something very difficult for me to do. When I am already very angry, I tend to do a lot of bad things like hit someone. I dont like it but I have so much trouble controlling my anger now. I was so patient before but enough was enough. Its not good to hold your emotions in.

I agree. Before i have the attitude, im release only after i blew out. I hurdled 3 days , one day even years up to when im ejected from anger. In our backyard where i went whenever im angry. Throw somethings like empty softdrink bottles on the fence wall just to release my upset. And you know it help me a lot though i knew its not ideal. It releases all. Happy My Lotting.

I guess disengage from the argument is a good way and disfuse the tense environment.Keep silent is good way also but i guess if can keep silent then there will be no argument, i guess it depends alot on the opposite side too.

I always try to control my temper. However, it is really hard to do that, so I always try to walk out and tell them sorry because I'd rather doing this than talking with you. We can talk later, not now I don't want to tell those hurting word. That can cause gap with anyone. Then I go to CR to wash my face.

Me too as much as i could avoid i will do. But remember men and woman has dissimilarities handling anger. Woman are sensitive, we cant sleep with unsettled emotions, mostly we are like this. Salamat.

I use to be a very argumentative person but have learned that I was not hurting anyone but me. Yes I will get my point across in business and get to the matter at hand. But when it comes to trying to control my anger especially with close friends and or family, I have learned that the easiest way is to just take a deep breath and let them say what they have to say and when and if it is appropriate for me to speak I will try and if the person is driving me to wanting to lose my temper I will politely say that we have chosen to agree to disagree and just walk away and let it go.

It's actually hard to control my anger but most of the time I just close my eyes and clinched my teeth just to overcome my anger. But then I can't possibly continue to face the person I have been angered with. I must get out from the place and away from that person. Or else I might do something I might regret. Anger is such an explosive emotion that needs to be avoided because it could harm other people. It could destroy relationship and in rare cases it could ends ones life. We must be careful when getting angry because it will ultimately ruined our whole day.

Sometimes it is better just to walk away when an argument or conversation takes a turn for the worse. Too many things are said in anger that can not be taken back once they are said. There is something to be said for not saying anything when you can not say something nice.

That's true. Better zipper our mouth after all we would be nice again whom we argued with.

Very often anger is hard to control especially when you know that you had been wronged and the other person does not own up to it. That can really be very frustrating. In my case, I am one person who seldom gets angry but one who has difficulty controlling my anger when I am in such a situation.

it always pays to control your anger, especially if you are in a middle of an argument. Why? because once you succumb to anger, you would lose the argument, no matter what because all reason would then flow out of your head and will be replaced by feelings of anger. My mentor once advised me to either count 1 to 10, all the while breathing deeply before retaliating to any kind of verbal duel. But i have found, in my experience, that drinking a glass of water helps. First, the action of drinking gives you time to sort out your thoughts and feelings and the water also helps to pacify the feeling that comes with anger. You only have to remind yourself that your anger will not solve anything, most of the time, it will only aggravate any existing problem. Another thing is, you have to check yourself when the anger starts to boil, by asking yourself if your anger will solve the problem at hand.

In any situation when you get angry what you can do is...divert your mind to something else. Or you can just count slowly from 1 to 10 and this time is enough to cool you down.

What i usually do when things like this happens is i stop and pray that i cannot say anything that will hurt others because i don't want to regret. Then, the Lord will just keep me calm and he will take my anger away.

Exactly this must be our response whenever harsh life slaps us. Patience and humility in God would make it through. Mark you best response for it.
