How do you deal with anger & frustration.........

[Hunny]

Holding on to anger is like grasping a hot coal
with the intent of throwing it at someone else;
you are the one getting burned." :angry:

Make sense ?

Whether it be your own or someone else's.....how do you deal with or react to anger/frustration...

[GraingerGuy]

For me: I play violent video games, play my guitar, play volleyball or basketball, talk to my girlfriend or I sleep it off.

For others: I listen to the person vent if they need someone to talk to, or I just leave them alone.

[hoey222]

i like to beat the drums - they dont hit back :D

[TERRIBLETOM]

A good nights sleep is usually a cure all for me, if that's not possible just keeping busy in my work is the next best thing.

I kick small puppies very very far. "...and it's good!!"

[Nija]

I beat my wife.
:P

I don't get angry, I can't say the same for people around me tho.

[zenbooty]

I yell, swear, and hit things.

[Grimm]

Breathe.

Think about why I am angry.
Think on how I can resolve the issues that upset me.
Resolve the issues that upset me.

Then beat the living hell out of whoever pissed me off:D

[Nanotech9]

find the nearest person you dont like and start kicking him/her...

it immediately transfers the anger into them.

Trust me, it really does.

[Speedfreak]

[p3rsian]

actually, beating the living hell out of whoever should go in to the third step because it resolves the issue. but I'm glad to see at least one methodological beater around here besides nija. never enough of those.... :shifty:

[kimchicowboy]

go sleep it off.

[ufcrusher]

I have two punching bags that I beat the crap out of. The only problem is that I have broken the chains numerous times and that gets pretty expensive to fix.

I have also punched walls...but as good as I am at patching drywall I still hate doing it.

Other than that...listen to some really dark music for a while and then switching to something a bit more upbeat. (Stabbing westward, NIN, or some other such thing for the dark music and then to some floyd to make me feel better)

[Showtime]

2 hours of anger management at my gym is usually all i need.

well that and these......

-jel:woo:

BTW, Thanks for the laugh Nija. Laughter also helps alot.

Haaaaaaaa :D Blu, you made me laugh outloud ...
thank you for that...
Actually, I just pick on Canta ;) ...I'm kidding....
If I'm really angry...I become silent and go off somewhere and cry... :)

And now I'm off...Have a great day !!!

[molecularfire]

I get really calm and start planning my retaliation. In the rare cases where retaliation is not a good option, then I remind myself that in 500 years they'll be dead, they're family will be dead, heck, everybody that they have ever known will be dead so it doesn't matter what they do to anybody. It'll be like they've never existed. Same for me, so it's kinda retarded for one person who doesn't exist to be angry at another person who doesn't exist either. :shrug:

[whitak24]

dark/loud music is great

(i'm totally with ufcrusher on nin and stabbing westward....they're two of my faves for when i'm pissed).

pounding on the floor or furniture works, but can be rather painful :eek:

[sizemic1]

I kick my offensive driving skills up a notch.
BAM!:splat:
