anger was a huge problem in my life and i say WAS because it's not anymore...I handle anger with a smile on my face and by having control of my heart and brain...beacause if I let that control me, I would regret to many thing and nobody could live with regrets....one important saying I know is "all human beings make their life the way they want them"
I don't get real angry but if I do it's because I've held in little things that explode into big things. When this happens it stuns people because they don't expect it from me.
I don't like being angry. I've seen my mom and dad raging mad...and it's hurt our relationship with each other. I don't want to do that to my child(ren) - when I lose my cool and I yell at my son. Afterwards I feel do terrible and guilty....and terrified I'm turning into my parents. =( it is something I want to work on
I fume for a bit and them try to rationalize why I am mad and is it worth it
My anger has been biased for most of my life. If I don't like/care for who I'm arguing with - my anger has gotten the best of me and taken over in a "I don't give a shit what you say, I'm still angry and going to make sure you know it". As I've matured and grounded myself as well as become humbled by some experiences, I handle my anger well now. Surely, my anger can be spiked quickly due to some circumstances, but I'm mature enough now to settle myself and argue constructively.
Anger has many different phases but now that I am older I try for it not to take a handle on my whole day. I try to think of something cute or funny that my kids said and force myself to smile or laugh. It usually works, that or I go run 4 miles...lol
With passion comes anger. It's a force that needs to be used productively. While anger can be overall destructive, it needs to be carefully managed. Note that in the complete absence of anger is apathy. That is a bad situation as well.
i don't handle my anger very well. i have issues due to my parents divorce. when i feel betrayed i attack. i don't like to be angry but when i'm angry it's mostly because i'm hurt. and it causes a lot of problems. matt feels like i care too much and get mad too easy. i feel like he doesn't care enough so i have to care enough for the both of us.
Taking a nice hot bath to relax, and no it's never been a problem.
I really don't handle it that great but I am going to therapy for it to calm me down a little and not be so mean toasted him
Anger has never caused many problems in my life. Although, anger has led me to make poor decisions. My initial reaction is to shut down, which gives me time to reflect.
I let myself get angry when I was younger. It never solved anything and in fact just caused a lot more problems. I learned to stop myself when I felt I was getting angry. I just take a deep breathe and focus on the logical path to a solution for whatever it is that's upsetting me.
Not real well at times, I'm trying to learn how to harness my angre everyday, yes it cause problems that I wish it didn't
What is a broken hand worth? I have learned and am still learning how to breathe through my anger. I have come a long way but still have a long way to go.
I scream when I'm angry hahah I love screaming it makes me relax
