Anger is a great enemy of man, if not the greatest. We all know it but it is very difficult to get rid of it. Are you too a victim of anger? Have you any suggestion how to control it?

All of us are victims of anger, just that some of us knows how to control it well. I'm one whom controls it well, not showing it at every slightest thing. There are cases whereby i hvae to show my anger in order to let them know the seriousness of things, while at times, i can't be bothered and i'll walk away. If i'm really angry about something, i will show it right away on my face but i won't do anything. I would talk it out with my bf when i get home or doing yoga to calm myself down.

I do have to deal with anger in my life from time to time, I don't actually think that I would be human if I didn't have some anger in my life. That said, most of the time the way that I deal with things when I am very angry is that I will take a deep breath and count to ten. Typically when I've done that I'm cooled off enough that I don't explode at other people. However, there are also some times that I do end up blowing up at people too.

Doctordidi anger is one of our basic emotions.I am not a victim of angee. I contorl my emotions so they do not control me. talk alowly count to 100 then walk away fast unless its important to resolve an issue. but better to say we will talk later, after I cool down.

I think anger is a natural part of our emotional makeup, so it does have it's place and it's probably there to help us keep from being victims all the time. As with anything, we have choices as to how we go about handling ourselves when we are angry. You can be angry and still use reasonble judgement. You have to decide what you want your outcome to be and what is the best way to get there. It also is good to identify what are your really angry about or who are your really angry with? Anger used properly can b a very valuable learnign tool.

Doctor you know anger is part of our life, even for animal and birds, i don't get angry easily, but once upset, it is very difficult to cool down, so i always avoid such situations.. Thank you so much for sharing this topic on anger. Professor ‘Bhuwan’. . Cheers have a lucky day ahead.

Anger if a product of fear, look for the fear and face that down and the anger will also leave. As long as the fear remains the anger will be there if only in the background.

hello DD, Anger comes in different situation. But there are people who really hot tempered and cannot control their emotions well, but burst into rage easily. I always tried to control my anger and keep my cool when i encountered situations that boiled up my temper. To avoid more trouble and also not to make enemies. When i encountered people who easily get annoyed and hot tempered,i just try to avoid them. But if in some cases that i can not avoid them,i just ignore and leave. It's not easy to deal with people who easily get angry and it's not easy too to deal with our own anger.

I used to have issues with anger but I able to fight it now. Every time I am mad with someone or something I just breath deeply and try not to speak or else I will be hysterical which is so humiliating not only to other people but also to my self hearing it! Anger is poison you and makes you a hater always.

I am a quick-tempered person. I don't know but i really easily get angry, sometimes it's so abrupt, i wasn't able to control it. I always regret afterwards, when i realized it was a petty thing to be angry of. Because of such anger, i hurt a lot of people's feelings. However, when i get angry, it easily subsides because i try to arrest it.

speaking of anger, it is actually my best enemy but fortunately my weapon is so strong rather than anger. I can still defeat anger.. I mean i can still control it. If am mad with someone, In the first, I really want to punch him/her., but instead of doing it, i'll just go away and leave my anger where it start. after several minutes, my anger to a certain person have gone. i'll just thinking our happy moments. Thats all how i defeat anger..

absolutely right. anger can control our souls which are weak and take us to a higher Amrah and make our souls out of control. then to deaden the anger is not easy because it takes time to calm him down. It also depends on people who are facing the problem, whether the person is not vengeful or vindictive and if it is very difficult at all because of the nature of anger would have long stuck to that person.

i have always believed in the notion that "anger is temporary insanity". it's as normal as putting on your underwear. there's really nothing wrong in feeling it. but there's a fine line between feeling it and flaunting it. what i do every time i feel my blood boil is quickly raise my level of awareness before i could totally fall into regretting. i mentally make a checklist of questions: where would openly steaming up lead? to what extent would it affect others? how would it affect my relationship with others? how would holding it back affect the moment? what would the consequences be if i hide it? how would it affect my work? is there any positive thing I can translate it into? how would others see me in my expressed anger (stupid? clownish? disgraceful? hostile?) is there anything I could vent it out on to keep it from raging: my most hated food, maybe? hanging out with a person I know I could laugh out loud with? a comical daydream? when I get angry, I consciously set its definition into "options". this saved me so many times already...

hmm, anger, just this morning, i've got angry with my mother, but since she is my mother i choose not to argue with her coz i respect her. Its part of a persons life to get angry for some time. I dont think someone can escape of this feeling for thier entire life.

The opposite of anger is patience, so to control the anger that has to do is try to be patient and trust, surrender to God
