What do you do when you're really cross?

[iguana_tonante]

I know it may sound like a smart-ass reply, but it isn't.

Sex. Lots of sex. Possibly with screams.

In the morning, I would not even remember why in the world I was so mad the day before.

Vengeance is a dish best served cold.

With a side of wrath.

Why go to that sort of fancy metaphor?

In my world, they're already dead.

As long as it tastes like chicken.

Like I said, I eat. It's a vice.

Yes this helps but it's not always a practical solution.

 

[K'Ehleyr]

I'm so crap at this being angry thing I've already apologised to man, and son and his friend for this evening whose name is Michelle, or something beginning with N or M.

See then I'd be worried about the disposing of the bodies ~ I don't have a recycling bin for that

Not practical ~ my man is away and my courgette is wilted

 

[Daneel]

I hardly ever get mad. Irritated, sure, but really angry? Almost never (I tend to think it was all the Gravol my mom took during the pregnancy -- it must have seeped into my veins and made me the extremely laid-back person I am today ).

I can't even remember the last time I got really angry... I'm not entirely sure what I'd do in response. I'd probably bottle it up. I'm pretty good at that.

Hm, not sure my advice should be given in plain view. Perhaps this discussion would be better via PM.

Well that doesn't help at all ~ you've made me even more angry that I now want to shred a napkin. And I can you know

But it saves on the environment. And they don't use up our food.

I do what everyone does. I get a knife and cut my hand and make blood-pledge to Satan that something will be dead by the following dawn!

I think I have succeeded in 'getting my point across':
Son has returned home safe and sound with Natalie (I knew it began with a N or M) only 4.15mins later than expected.
Man will never be changed, he does not think of me unless I staple a post-it note to his forehead. So have agreed with myself not to fucking bother.
So actually nothing has really changed ~ everything remains the same... (what song? please)
But I have commandeered the laptop by saying to my son if he has a friend to stay he ought to be entertaining her and not msm'ing random people ~ good plan

 

[The Boy Who Cried Worf]

I get mad all the time. Often to the point of rage. I just bury it deep deep inside of me where no one can ever see it. And the funny thing is I am not even be sarcastic here. I guess the good thing is the only one I am hurting is myself.

 

[Mallory]

I come here, issue a few infractions and randomly ban someone. That always makes me feel better.

 

[Goliath]

Actually, my way of coping with anger has changed significantly over the past couple of years. I spent far too many years just letting people walk all over me, suppressing my anger, and watching helplessly as it leaked out at inappropriate moments.

Nowadays, I'm much more likely to try to even the score with someone who has insulted or wronged me--and I find it immensely satisfying when I succeed. Revenge really is sweet.

When seeking revenge is impractical, I've discovered that cathartic psychodrama really helps a lot. Put myself in a safe environment, and just unleash all that negative energy at a symbolic target. When I'm done, I find it much easier to just put the whole thing behind me.

 

[sidious618]

Depends on the situation. Sometimes I mention it in therapy, sometimes I let it slide, sometimes I just give a condescending look and sometimes I say, "You're really pissing me off!"

This is generally how I end up dealing with anger. I would love to just unleash and shout and scream and kick and stab and... But I know that this will just cause more trouble than it's worth. So I work it through in my head, come to the conclusion that nothing's going to change anyway and go poke my nose into someone else's argument on the internet (you can tell when I'm stressed, I'll be posting on here in whatever the "BBS issue of the day" thread is )

Oh and mums are mums - always will be. You could be the dictator of several small countries and feared throughout the land and you still wouldn't be able to speak your mind to your mum.

 

[Amaris]

I take a deep breath and slowly let it out.
That is the process by which I keep it from being seen.

[auntiehill]

I usually do something really productive, like burst into tears and stomp out of the room.

More often than not, I just sit there and simmer, getting more and more angry.

I get really annoyed, offended or upset, usually due to hurt feelings, but I haven't been ULTRA pissed off in a long time. You don't want to see that. THEN, I go for the throat and verbally rip people to shreds. But that's not a good thing, so most of the time, I leave the room before that happens.

The BBS, I've found, is a good place to let off steam before I hurt someone. I can come here and just UNLOAD all of the brutal and vicious things I've been trying so hard NOT to say---- usually something about my in-laws.
