We usually get angry because of some situations we have to face.Getting angry is normal and healthy human emotion as long as you know how to control yourself.Some people could not control their anger and it can be destructive. This could lead us to more problems in relationships,work or it can even control your life.Some people when they get angry,they sometimes get also angry at work or at home. I met a lot of people who are like this, they make things so personal and would be angry to anyone or to everybody even they are not involved in the situation.Other people would destroy things like someone I know when he is angry he destroys his cellphone like breaking it or throwing it.Some people like me just keep quiet.I just talk when someone ask me about it. How about you guys?

If I am mad or angry, I actually will be out of my mood. That is I am not in mood to talk so I just keep silent. And if anyone would disturb me, i find myself being rude to them. Imagine, if you are so angry and somebody would just pick on you. What would you feel?

Just right now, I am so angry. I was about to finish what I am downloading and suddenly my browser would crash causing my download to be cancelled. Grrr..., all my effort had been wasted.

People are different when angry. I would say that whenever people are like this, we are unable to think clearly, we are unable to do things that is what we are supposed to be doing or thinking when we are not with strong emotions.
As for me, i try not to be too angry and i try to control myself and how i would react. most often i would just be controlling my temper and my need to vent and say whatever i feel like saying.

Get angry is normal in your life.As a human being we have different feel such as : sad,happy,angry,etc.You're better can control your self when you're in this conditions.My experience and my habit when i was angry usually i take a breath deepest,be quiet and sleep.Or i listening hard rock music and get enjoy with the noise.After that i can think about what i am gonna do next.

They say,I am too cool by nature.I don't know whether they are right,but I prefer to maintain my cool when I get angry being offended by others.By nature I am reticent.I know from my experiences that bursting into anger does not solve any problem.Instead,it worsens the situation.Nobody is going to accept his or her fault.So my anger would not hit the target.So I keep quiet and try my best to maintain my cool.

I think everyone gets angry sometimes. It's how you deal with it that's important. When I was young, in my 20's, I would occasionally throw something. This didn't do any good because if it broke I was only breaking my own stuff. But I would yell and argue a lot with the person I was angry with. Now I'm older and I don't have the energy to expend on anger. I still get very angry and I will argue, but not like before. And not as often. I will let a person know they have angered me. Usually these days I come to mylot and after a while I feel better.

If i get mad , i write and write . I will pour down all my angst in writing. If i can't write i will murmur , am the type of person who just can keep quite in corner. If i am mad , the person involve will really know..

Hi there!
I adopt your method. If I get angry due to some reasons or unpleasant situation, I would keep quite and would later share my agony with my trusted friends/colleagues.
I do not feel like shouting, as it could lead to counter arguments and more and prolonged tension.

Whenever I am angry I really burst it out through words, I don't do physical manifestation, but I really need to get it out. Then after doing so, I am okay. I know there's a lot of disadvantages to this and yes sometimes I regret the words that I say and I have hurt a lot of people close to me because of my anger but it doesn't happen a lot of times.
Actually, right now, my dad and I are in a non-speaking terms. He has hurt me big time with his insensitivity and I decided that he's not worth talking to anymore. He hasn't shown any interest of patching things up and I absolutely know that it was his mistake. So, I just ignore it and avoid talking to him. I think that's better than lashing out on the guy. I didn't lash out, I just kept quiet and am still keeping quiet about it.
Have a great mylot experience ahead!

I have learned to control my anger now. But during my earlier years, when I'm angry, people will surely know that I am. By simply looking at my facial expressions, they would know that I am. And worst part of it is that when I am really angry people should stay in my sight as I do throw anything my hands can get unto. But, experience teaches me to control my anger and now, when I'm angry I simply keep quite. Its one thing that i had learned for the sake of being a husband and a father to my kids. If I don't learn it, i am have cause physical and emotional pains to my loved ones.

It depends on where I am when I get angry. If I'm a work and something has occurred that caused me to get angry then I take a break and go outside till I cool down, then I'll go and talk to them about it.
If I'm at home and I get angry, I clean whether the house needs cleaned or not, or I'll go work in the yard till I cool down and then discuss the matter. That energy has got to be released somehow, I'd rather be constructive than destructive.

I normally wouldn't talk if I am so upset with someone. Although I feel like I am about to explode I try to really be calm, quiet and will try to tell someone about what I'm feeling. Otherwise I would just answer back the person who was giving me a bad day. And I swear I am different when I get angry.. so I don't wanna really get angry at anyone.

When I'm angry to a person I make myself hurt. I like to make bruises in my hand by the use of a blade and let the blood out. By that way I can let my anger out. Hmm..how rude I am. But that's me. I cannot control my anger. Instead of hurting that person, I just hurt myself.

I have I think developed or better developing the same tendency as yours. I do not get angry. Some people say that I cannot revolt or fight so I escape by not getting angry but at the end of the day they realize that even if I do that I am benefited in some or the other way. Not getting angry help you maintain your social contacts and more often than not you are respected too. it also benefits you biologically. I admire this quality and try to inculcate it in myself as much as possible.

Well,a few years back,if I got angry,I would scream at the top of my lungs,arguing with anyone.
Now,I like to see myself as a changed man.I try to keep my calm,I haven't screamed at anyone in quite some time.What I do is to laugh a little bit,and then try to tell a joke.If it's not working,I won't say nothing.
