If someone can actually push all my buttons and make me "angry" I usually just yell/ramble/rant/try to fight.

99% of the time though I can shrug off anything that most people would get upset about.

 

driving calms me down. prevents me from doing anything that i will regret

 

I get really deliberate if I'm angry. Very careful words, very measured voice, and lots of warnings that a person is pushing too far. That's a verbal, face-to-face situation.

If it's at a distance, I usually just fume internally. I have punched a wall once or twice. I'm pretty mild in general. My dad and brother both have crazy tempers so I know what happens if you lose your cool (and I don't want that).

 

I usually try to deep breathe and think about something else. I'm pretty good at controlling my anger if I get past the first 10 seconds without doing something stupid.

 

That said, I am considering getting a handgun and concealed weapon permit.

 

Unloading 100 rounds at the firing range does release a lot of stress and emotion

Weight lifting and hot rage sex are also good.

 

i been holding and supresing my anger since middle school. letting it build up compress, and get dense for the day when some jackoffasuar of a human being lights my fuse.

when i was in the 6th grade a kid took $5 from me. he just flat out took it from my hand and put it in his pocket and never returned it from me. he didnt even try to run from me. he just did it and stood there. i was soo mad i couldnt move.
later in the day a friend told me what his mom always told him.
"let it be, because he's just gonna keep doing it in his life and down the road, he'll do it to the wrong guy and that wrong guy will make him pay much worse then anything you can do."
after 2 years, i decided i wanted to be that "wrong guy" that that life-long asshole comes across.

 

Me and GPMike are willing to help. Thats what e-friends are for.

 

Wooooo Saaaaaaaa !!!!

 

I don't get mad, I get even - I put my energy into planning some revenge, and then maybe act on it...
