Title: How do you handle anger?
Post by: serious crayons on December 05, 2008, 02:37:59 pm: I'm trying to find more constructive ways to express and/or cope with anger, and I'm wondering how you all do it.

Hmm, maybe a good old-fashioned temper tantrum!

(Oh, you said "constructive"...)

I usually race here and go to the "Bitch, bitch, bitch" thread and get it all out. ;D

Then I copy it to all my friends - NOT to the people making me angry.

And that's because it would be useless to lash out at those people - my sister
or detrimental to my pocketbook - my bosses

bills you disagree with or prices you think are unreasonable. But if someone that is just rude, or you dont even
know them. It would do no good to try and reason with them. usually.

In some cases you might even be taking your life in your hands.. I believe in picking your battles..

I forgot, I meant to include BetterMost answers on there. I'll add them now, belatedly.

Post by: Lynne on December 06, 2008, 10:32:03 am: I voted for drinking and eating too much and brooding and other. Basically, I don't handle anger well at all. I internalize it. And I'm not even sure why. Somewhere along the line I learned that it was not OK to be angry.

It's something I'm working on. I wish I could be one of those people who take their frustrations out at the gym!

You aren't fooling anybody. You don't have a bitter or spiteful bone in your body. You are one of the sweetest human beings ever to walk God's earth.

So there! ;D
