When you say nothing at all

I used to be just like what you describe about yourself... I made myself start talking about things that bother me so people would know they were doing something I didn't like... It's still hard to say something is bothering me but it's better to say it than stay silent.

I admit when I was younger, I could get mad a lot easier. Maybe it's a learned behavior in some people. From observing some key people in my past life, I can say that anger solves pretty much nothing most of the time. As you say, often people end up saying too much and regretting it later. Anger can also lead to violence, and I have observed that as well in my past, with other people overdoing the anger thing. Something changed in me, and I don't like anger. Not in me, not in anyone else, either. If I get mad at someone, I usually just back off. It works better for me, I don't say something I will regret later on. It gives me time to think it out, and to decide how I want to deal with it all. All that aside, I DO get mad/angry/furious whatever you want to call it, when someone is just downright mean and wrong in their words and actions--cruel to someone, things like neglect of a child, a pet, an elderly person...you know what I mean. There is something inside of me that always has to side with the underdog, I guess. But, there are worse traits to have, so I am ok with that. It's better to walk away than to say something you regret.

That isn’t real a quirk as it is a changed behavior. When I’m mad depending on the reason I need to be left alone. Yes because I’m the moment I might say something I don’t really mean or want to say. So I clean, doing something and letting my anger sizzle out is best. Sometimes I need to talk to someone else venting can be nice in a way letting out your feelings and thoughts where don’t hurt the person I’m mad at

I just try to avoid the person that made me angry. I try not to get angry too often.

I use to ignore people that are mean to me.

I used to be an expert at the silent treatment. Not any more. I say more of how I am feeling these days. However, always remember that silence is a response too.

It depends on who it is. I try to say something because otherwise, they may not even know they are bothering you.

There are people that can be very toxic, so dealing with them can be filled with drama. It is hard for me to talk sometimes, as I don’t want to come off as being a harsh person or saying something that I would regret later on. You are right though that ignoring someone that has hurt you, is the best thing to do.I don’t care for drama either so ijust walk away and leave them alone.

Unlike you, I don't keep quiet. If someone shouts at me I shout at him/her with the same intensity. Why should I keep all my frustration inside me?

I run out the door. See you later.

But I am saying some things today on myLot, I need the cash

I admit, I'm not the nicest person to be around when I'm angry. Thankfully, that hasn't happened in a long time.

I don't really get angry at anyone. If I disagree, I say so and change the subject.

I stay silent when I know it's useless arguing with a person though I am angry. I often did this with my late husband and have to do it with my younger son sometimes.

I don't get mad. I get even.

I always opened up and got into trouble but now I have realised just when to speak.

I try to ignore those who makes me angry. I prefer not to discuss with those people.

I haven't been angry at anyone for a long time. Usually when I am angry at someone I take the time to talk things over with them,

When I'm boiling angry, I try to control my mouth as I might just say things that I might regret later because when I'm furious I have the tendency to lash out really hurtful words.

I think remaining silent can be good at times to not get hurt others by harsh words but the silence shouldn't remain for long because it gives gap to other person. So we have to explain what's wrong with other person polite way after our angry gets settled down . This is what I follow.
