Social Do you get angry often?

[Takes Two To Tango]

I use to when I was in my 20s, not as much anymore.

I try to stay even keel if possible. Not too high or too low.

Best way to approach things I believe.

 

[Sobek]

No, but more than I used to. I used to be Mr Calm.

I tend to do what I can to avoid getting angry now as it stays with me for days and I have a hard time controlling it. I really do not like being angry.

But some people do like being angry I have noticed.

Being angry for me is therapeutical sometimes. But it takes so much out of you and you feel like shit mostly after.

What do you to stay calm before the storm?

Fuck off.

Aahhh I struggle with it so I'm not a good 'serving suggestion' lol.
I keep away from bad potential situations, definitely eliminate toxic people from my life.
I hear a good low carb diet and vigorous exercise help.
Keeping your vitamin levels good can keep you mellow (B complex especially).
I know people mock it but carnavore and keto diets have left me in pretty calm states when I was on them.

Daily meditation has helped. Plus listening to more mellow music. I found music that people would amp up to were something I largely phased out or kept to a minimum and I developed a taste for quiet jazz and classical music plus retro synth. I find them all calming.
I walked into a store today to buy something and they had some new age music playing, which was very chill and reminded me of stuff I used to meditate to.

Thank you for sharing your insight, it's worth reading.

You're welcome. I noticed it was something you were interested in hearing.
I was also very sincere in regards to how calm I felt on the carnivore diet. It was very noticeable after about 3 weeks. (Though it's not what I do at present).

Yep us Kurds can be pretty short tempered . Combine that with being first generation is a recipe for disaster if you’re the firstborn.

Psychedelics, travel and years of therapy has helped.

Suffering from colitis and having my large intestine removed was also humbling.

This thing we call life.

very angry, never been so out of control with it and that's saying something. I think it's because I'm so tired of bullshit and people and I'm just getting older but I've been doing things that make no sense, breaking shit, I really worry about it and I am avoiding doing things that trigger it but just about anything can, I'm just angry period.

anger really does have it's place and the actual emotion is there for a reason, to be able to defend oneself. But it definitely can veer off into nothing but negative shit.

Well said, that's true.

You are very angry often?

 

[Wrath of Foamy]

I try to let things roll off, but I am very sensitive.

I tend to seethe quite deeply and often it turns to a depressed mood. Mind runs amok, but I try not to take it out on anyone unless directly provoked.

I don't sweat the little things, but I have very little tolerance for rudeness and bullying.

Sounds like me, I'm sensitive myself. But I try to be balanced with my emotions. Obviously easier said than done.

Holding your anger is also not helpful. That can eat you out from the insides. Makes you even worse off.

Do you ever hit a punching bag or exercise intensely to release that anger?

You are very angry often?

these days yes, I was always angry but I've never done the shit I'm doing as much as I do now. Breaking shit, losing my shit over nothing. Just angry over the smallest things, which of course isn't what I'm angry about at all. I'm ashamed of it honestly.

 

[ssBaldy]

Not very often, but more often than I would like. Especially in traffic and around large numbers of people.

That's tough man. What is the main source of your anger do you think? Is there something that you've been suppressing for years and it finally explodes like a volcano?

To be honest I can't tell if you are angry on here ever. You seem pretty calm, lucid, articulate person. So I never experience your anger here.

Angry over a lot of stuff, my family (mostly dead now) , where I was born, old "friends" who really fucked me in ways that a friend should never fuck someone, just everything, so much is too personal. I've always been angry but I also had more energy and focus to it so I'd work out, now I'm exhausted and I realize I've shot my wad for nothing. Angry at many, many people in my past for being so unreasonable and full of shit. Just angry man, I could go on all day. I think a lot of it is just not doing enough physical anymore and the job I have where I drive a lot just makes a lot of shit get bottled up even more. But no, the real source is stuff that's happened in the past, not the stuff that's happening when I blow up.

I notice a lot of people that I knew were cranky when they got old, maybe that's where I'm headed, just nasty and miserable, hope not but maybe that's where I'm heading. I've cut off older guys who got too nasty with me and said things they shouldn't have.

I have a punching bag at the gym, which is a miles walk from where I live. I get to it when I can. Honestly, I either go to the gym, do a porn session (which is an obstacle in quitting), play a videogame or go straight to bed and go on the tablet and sleep.

My inability to release my anger has kept me in a job for all of my adult life and has kept me out of prison. It can be rough though, especially when releasing the anger feels like something a man would do in such a situation. Bothers me for months and my mind goes through some dark places.

I have a tendency to think about suicide when I'm under a certain amount of pressure, but I think I recognise it more as a coping mechanism than an actual desire to die. It's something that I know that I have to ride out in time.
