Real anger, not just annoyed/frustrated, is handled by internalizing it and becoming uncharastically quiet/sad. I think it has a lot to do with my personality to take everything very personally. The only problem it has ever really caused is confusion on how I show my feelings towards other people. My dad was probably the only one growing up that understood that about me.
I charge up and unleash the fury
I just shut down. Close off from things till I'm calm. But at some point ill burst from holding it in if it keeps occurring.
I learned to curb my anger, and to not let things get me to the point I'm angry.
It has caused a problem in the past, just being with my beautiful girlfriend and our little family is all I need tho, a night alone with her is always the best too. Without these girls in my life id be an angry person, only ones I can look at and actually feel better.
I'm not good with anger, childhood suppressed memories? It has affected us, I'm trying to do better
No
I practice my karate, while blasting the heaviest music I own
It burns me up! I am a big fan of justice and balance so it makes life hard. I usually try to talk myself off the ledge.
I try to keep perspective, it's a lifelong pursuit, I'm getting better, it's more important than ever now that we started a family
Not well. I either blow up or shut down. It causes health problems, because apparently negative feelings express themselves physically.
I handle it a lot better now. It used to be a huge problem and I didn't know how to handle it. But a lot of hard work and discipline have gotten me really far.
Yikes. We are both hot heads but I've vowed to take more control with mine. I know he's working on his too. That's what counts
I try to stop it from hsppening in the first place. But it depends who I'm with, if thier a stanger or even a family member I'll tune em out. If its my boyfriend i'll try to tel them exactly what i'm feeling and what caused it and will try to come up with ways to diffuse it
I internalize anger and it wrecks my body. I feel like anger is a totally selfish emotion, and to submit someone to that is the height of self-centeredness. I don't have a reliable outlet for it.
