Are you quiet or loud when you're angry?

I used to be very quiet when I'm angry. I just couldn't get myself to talk. I frowned around and just not in the mood to talk to anyone and it could go on til the next day. After years of having that attitude I've changed. You see one day, a man made me so angry, so mad, so furious I couldn't take it anymore I screamed and shouted and cuss him like crazy...evil crazy... he was so shocked he shut the f*ck up! That man is my husband and we live happily ever after. LOL I guess I was even kind of grateful that he brought out the b*tch in me. haha It is indeed non-violence if one shuts down and keep the anger inside but I believe that it is healthier to burst it out of your system sometimes. It's good for the heart and brain. I think it's ok to let your anger out as long as it don't end up to physical violence. What about you? Are you quiet or loud when you're angry?

Hi. gicolet. For people that don't really know me, I can be on the quiet side. As for the people that know me, like my own children, I can be very loud and nasty. Especially, if they make me angrier enough too. I am both. If a person pushes me to the edge, I will show another side of me that is not so pretty. I am not proud of it either, but it never results into physical violence though. I don't like to keep my anger all balled up inside of me because all it does is hurt me and the people that I am angry with.

i know but there will come a point that you will have to let it go...let it all out of your system. It's really not healthy for your heart. Take care and thanks for responding.

It depends on the situation, but mostly I am calmer than violent. If I have to let it all out, I'd rather not shout instead I would write down all of my rants on a piece of paper and rip it into pieces. Sometimes I would do some kickboxing rounds to let out the steam.

I used to be very quiet too when I'm angry. Especially at home. When I'm angry with my mum, I'll just show a black face. I won't speak up but just go to my room and do my own stuff. However, i do throw my temper at my boyfriend and i'll even scream at him. But like you say, It's necessary for us to burst up at times because if we keep everything in our heart, sooner or later we'll be crazy. But yes, we should not end it wtih physical violence. We need to control our emotion and not let it get the better of us.

Yes it's healthy to blow up once in a while but if it becomes somewhat of a habit at all times it's also a no-no! Some people do get a heart attack also from being too angry. It's all about self control. Thanks for your response.

Yes. I think for me it has sort of become a habit to throw my temper at my boyfriend. You reminded that that it's a no-no. I should not keep losing my temper plus, i might get a heart attack soon!! Thank you too, i must learn to have more self control

I am usually very quiet but when I am angry, I cannot control my temper and become very loud.

Oh i was there....used to be like that. I was like a ticking time bomb and it wasn't funny when i blew up. Well it takes time to learn from our reactions as we always tend to focus on who or what made us mad. It's normal. Thanks for responding.

It largely depends on what I'm angry about. If I'm angry, but also upset, about something personal, say at my boyfriend, I won't want to talk to him, but I also don't want to get anyone else involved, so in that situation I would be quiet until I'd worked out what I'd want to say. You hear so often about people who've said hurtful things they didn't mean when angry, and lost a friend/partner over it, so if it's something important, I'll try not to lose my temper until I've figured out my point! If it's something straight forward, like my friend not coming to pick me up or something, I'll quite happily be loud and shout!

That's true we don't want anyone else get involved with our being angry or upset. Thanks for pointing that out and I like how you handle yourself in such situation.

It does depend on the situation. Sometimes, I do get a little loud when I'm angry. I have to admit that it does happen. Not often, but it does happen. Usually, I think I'm more quiet about it. I'm not the time to always explode or anything like that.

Absolutely you're right. Holding up grudges or holding our emotions is unhealthy. But to answer your question. People who knows me, could tell you that it is better for them to see me talking rather than keeping silent or quiet. If I am in a no-talk mood, people around me are worried and thinking what they have done wrong...why?.. because they know that I'm angry. That's me. If you did something wrong to me, I have no energy to talk or to mingle with you. It is better for me to keep quiet rather than to say something that might hurt someone whom I am mad at. It is my way of avoiding to get people hurt of whatever I may uttered brought about my anger. But you're right, expressing how we feel could make us feel better and will bring the real us. And I really envy those people who are able to express their emotion, saying that it's their personality. Hopefully I could myself a chance to be real. Soon. Happy mylotting.

I must say I'm the quiet type. I tend to shut everything down when I'm angry. Which btw, makes most people around me crazy. It makes them crazy that they don't get any reactions from me. Making them crazy about it makes it more fun for me. ^_^

Hi Gicolet, Well its always good to let out anger so it wont affect the health and mind. But same time, anger should not affect others or hurt them. My anger is different. When I get anger, i go to bed and sleep well. Infact I always sleep well when am angry or upset. When i wake up, i find my am relaxed and laugh at my anger.

When I get angry i try to stay quiet cause i know i would just cuss them out. But before when I was like 9 when I got angry i was soooo loud. Like when someone stole my bike I started yelling at them and ran after him. I caught up to him but didn't really know what to do after that haha.

LOL you're funny... but it's wise to choose to stay quiet if you knew that you would just cuss out otherwise. It means you care about peacefulness so you'd rather have those people steal your bike. haha
13 May 11
LOL..I do love the screamed scene! XD Anyways, when I am angry at first I will just shut my mouth but if someones trigger my anger that's the time that I will scold out loud! Funny thing is after I burst out all my anger, I will go back to my normal self :)) Be Blessed! ?

When I get angry then initially I loud horribly, when my families or say friends get scared then I quiet from there and goes to some peaceful environment for peace mind. Really some one calling me crazy boy & someone ____?

I used to be like you. I would not say anything when something bothered me. I would hold it inside and it would hurt. It made me very bitter sometimes. But one day I exploded. And it felt good letting it all out! I also got my thoughts and feelings out. Now I realize that the other person is not a mind reader. My husband sometimes does not realize something is wrong unless I tell him. Most of the time we do not even argue. I just tell him how I am feeling. I think I scared him that one time and he does not want a repeat of it! :o

I can't say that I'm always one or the other. If I have someone here to yell and complain to then I can get kinda loud but I do try to keep it down since we have neighbors. They don't need to be hearing my business. lol If I'm alone I'm often quiet when angry, mostly because there just isn't anyone to let it all out to.

Usually I tend to be a little bit of me when I'm angry. Depending on who got me angry or why I'm angry. Like if my parents got me angry then I'm usually quiet about it and keep it to myself. But,if my friends got me angry then I will lay my feelings on the line and tell them how I feel about the situation.

I'm definitely loud when I'm angry. But that may be because I'm loud even when I'm not! When I'm angry I just want to shout at somebody and have it out with them. To be honest I think it's the best way, as you get it out the way and can maybe resolve it, whereas if you stay quiet people may not know you're angry and just carry on.
