Anger: How do you deal?

[Debbie]

Write, hire a funny movie - Billy Connelly usually.
Call a friend or dance.

Play Quake or use my foam bat to play fight with my kids.

Water fights are pretty good to when you're mad.
Screaming into my pillow works too.

There is something satisfying about impaling someone or setting them on fire, virtually, of course.

Running them over in a car is also a favorite of mine.

How do you deal with your anger?

Hard Angry Fucking.

geeze i see that a lot of people hit things, i used to do that, but i fucked up once when i didn't have a punching bag around and punched a wall that had to have a damn cement stud behind where i punched and it broke my hand that only pissed me off more but i learned my lesson on hitting things that don't give very easily.

I just walk away

And another one walks away. More power to you, I couldn't do it.

If'n I'm not talking very loudly with lots of cussin', I'm really, really, really, really quiet and should not be disturbed for a good few days.

I used to do this. Now I don't have the time, and *have* to keep talking. It's not as effective when you have to communicate.

I compartmentalize it...

I evaluate how important it is at the moment for me to react. If it's direct threat to my safety, I'll retaliate to neutralize it.
Most of the time, I'll blow it off in the gym or riding the Harley.

deal with anger? hmm well i usually keep it too myself. but if you piss me off over and over again, or if you keep fucking with me on purpose, thats when shit gets physical, or i'll lasso your ass and pull you behind my truck

Hmmm. I'll make that note in your file.

 

[Cleopatra]

I sit and plot their demise. Thinking of evil things I can do for fucking with me.

Then after I've mentally harmed them a million times I realize they just aren't worth my time and emotions.

Fantasy revenge. I'll have to remember this. Good idea!

All good ideas, but I like the foam bats the best.

If you're not mad at the person you're going to fuck, I can see it. If you are, I can't.

I never understood the grudge fuck.

I know at least three guys who've done that. Never did it twice.

I'll take the Harley.

I cry, damn it! If I'm at work I look out the window until I'm calm. At home I clean something.

I seldom yell, but I have done it. I don't like how out of control that feels, though.
