Don't beat objects up. That turns violence into a habit when you're mad.

This is a valid point.  There was some study done (no idea where to find it) that disproves the theory that releasing your anger by pummeling a punching bag or similar is an effective outlet for stress.  The study suggested that doing so actually causes you to seek out more opportunities in which to release stress via physical violence rather than dealing with it through typical psychological means.

I.e., boxers are usually not more care-free and calm relative to an average person.  Instead, they are more aggressive in situations that do not call for it (not speaking for all boxers, but a minority which tend to represent them).

My suggestion: go jogging.  It allows you to blow off steam via physical exertion and gives you time alone to think through the instance that made you angry.  It's what I do and oftentimes it works.

But that's just my two cents.  You can do what you want.


You should get a squishy ball that fits in the palm of your hand.

squish stress with a squish

This but I've kind of bottled up a LOT of anger for about 7 years now.

This but it's like 5 tons of stress, anger, and other stuff.

For pretty much since 6th or 7th grade.

NOTE: I go outside a lot, am very active, and am usually calm.

But i still have this forgetton of stress. I don't randomly outburst at people and don't have anger issues. I'll only explode if they're being extremely intolerable, and I have a lot of patience, so it's REALLY hard to make me asplode in a huge burst of screaming. In fact, it's never happened. Ever.

I'm too naturally calm to do that :I
I don't even think it's possible anymore. And I don't like yelling (I don't like to yell).

Ok, so I use to have major problems with this. I grew out of it with age, realizing that it was useless to cause other people anger as well. I just learned to shut up and deal with it.

I find, that if you are angry that you should go to somewhere where you are comfortable like your bed and listen to calm music. Take a warm shower or sit alone for a while.

My therapist has been helping me through my anger. And I've learned that you don't get angry because of that situation, you get angry because you get worked up over the consequences that would possibly come out of that situation. If that makes any sense to you.

I just got in a fight with a friend and wound up busting up my hand from punching a wall.





What were you fighting about, anyways?

When I am angry , the last thing you want to say is "Calm down dude"

Am I handicapped enough to actually google earth that or not?
