Anger management - can you control your inner 'hulk'?

I don't angry very often. Annoyed, yes, but anger is too much emotion. And when I feel it, I try to remain calm. When my friends hear my voice starting to raise a little, they know for sure that I'm really pis$ed. The only persons I've shouted at when I'm angry are family members, and some drunk neighbor who was pestering me. But, when I'm really, really mad, I cry because if I don't I might throw or punch things.

hi, i was not very bad at controlling my anger, in fact people never saw me angry or shouting, but marriage changed me completely from the core. i have develped a very short temper and am irritated quickly now-a-days. Not to mention, my MIL's part is more pronounced in making me mad.. i have observd one thing though, that if i vent my anger, i feel alrite, no sleepless nights, and worrries now.. but i take care that it does not go out of control. when its neither the time or place to yell back, i generally humm my favourite song. music soothes me, so i chose this option. u can use anything that calms you down. like say, if you enjoy cakes or any eatable, then imagine you have a big piece of your favourite eatery and you are indulging into it. this is not very easy i admit, cause i personally had the experience. but, once u r conscious of the rising anger, you can resort to the management technique that instant itself.

Actually I can't really control it. The moment I control my anger, I'll flare up a second later, because, I REALLY CANNOT STAND CONTROLLING ANGER!!! Just like just now, my mum kept pestering me to fold those stupid clothes and hindered my landing in my Flight simulator. As a result, I had to attempt a landing once more, which made me madder and madder. See that? I cannot control anger. That's why I told myself that I'll rather not get angry. LOL.

hello lynlypiochy! i had a very terrible temper before, i don't get mad easily but when something pisses me off, i had a hard time controlling my emotions. i usually regretted my unchecked behavior and i really worked hard to control my anger ever since. i am not fully in control of it when something really angers me but now, i can say i am more in control than before. i usually count one to twenty before reacting to any aggravating remark, action or situation. When i get pissed about something or someone, i usually walked it off for about an hour before making any remarks or actions, to clear my head. I don't want to say or do something i would regret later. when i do get angry, i usually work it off. i punched a pillow, exercise to blow off the steam or sing to my heart's content. i just re-direct my energy, my anger to avoid any untoward confrontation or snide remarks i might regret later.

I'm not that kind of person who gets mad easily towards someone. I'm a cheerful person and I don't want to have misunderstandings with someone, especially those who are very dear to in my heart.And in fact, if little fights happened, I usually make the first move to avoid making the situation worse.

Control your anger by exhaling your breath with force or punch your sofa. I do that all the time, cause if i dont, i'll throw whatever things within my reach. Getting angry is normal. But if you get angry all the time that it hurts other people, then that's the time you need help.

I don't have that many problems with anger management. Keeping control andd patience has always come rather easy to me.

I believe that one of the major sources of anger is our sense of entitlement. When we think that we are entitled to a certain thing and for some reason it is not fulfilled, we become angry. The best way to deal with anger is to change our perspective. We are not entitled to anything or anybody in this world. We can only try to get the best that we can get. Instead of getting angry, we can talk things through with the other person.

when i am angry i usually cry or write something. i am not a nagger type of person or the kind who displaces it to someone. i just hide and do my stuff.

its really hard for me to hold my temper since im short and ill tempered person. There would be times i burst in outrage especially at home. at times i couldnt hold my anger i would flare up. i guess i adapted this behavior at home cus my dads like that too. but outside with other people i try to show the opposite. i try to be nice especially at work. I guess im scared to get charged with insubordination or people will stay away if i show the real me. but its really hard to hold ones temper when you get really fed up and pissed.

I have a very quick and hot temper that will go away fairly quickly if I just wait around. I'm not one to smolder and fume for days; it's more a matter of hours. I don't like people who can be mad for weeks. I dated one of those and hated it. Granted I did yell at him a lot, but then it would blow over like always. Except he would just stay mad at me. I didn't really think that was fair, but you can't control people's emotions I guess.

for me it's a must seeing that when i get angery i can't breath so for me i keep my mind moveing any time i feel like something might make me angry i fill my mind with as many random thoughts as i can so i don't get angery.
