Anger Issues!!!

[redragon]

I often find myself a little upset at the events that have happened during the day. I sometimes take my anger out on the piano.  My question is: What do YOU take your anger out on, that is, if you're the type of person that takes their anger out on objects.

[Bob]

I usually put into into doing work.  At least it's useful.  Gets something done.  Then when you're done, you've "expressed" the anger into something and gotten a project or part of one out of the way.

[furtwaengler]

I used to take it out on a basketball hoop...injured my arm twice and, and my knees may never work again.   

[wert718]

I duel people. 

[go12_3]

I  write out my feelings, or rant to someone or do something to change the anger to a more rational feeling.  I have been more patient about things and people, but I mostly get annoyed if things don't work out. It just depends upon the circumstance and person.

Sometimes i take my anger out in the gym. If not, i just beat up me girlfriend.

One is a good as the other.

Sometimes i take my anger out in the gym.

And put it back in again after venting it, presumably...

If not, i just beat up me girlfriend.

Might that be why you tend (by your own earlier admission) to get through quite a substantial number of girlfriends?...

One is a good as the other.

The notion that venting your spleen in a gym is as good as beating up your current girlfriend appears to convey little in favour of the beneficial outcome either of your gymnastic activities or what might otherwise be the more intimate of your personal relationships...

Perhaps the above statements might persuade you instead to direct your anger (even if only temporarily) towards the writer of this post!...

Anyway - (belated) Happy New Year!

Girlfriend? But you're 553 and a girl yourself, right?

[thalbergmad]

And to you to.

I take it you wintered outside of the Hay area??

And to you to.

Merci bien!

Indeed so; a week in Catalunya, just over the French border with Spain in the Alberes mountains, with temperatures approaching 18 degrees in early afternoon, thence to the southern Charente in France where temperatures were rather lower to begin with and then got very chilly indeed. I was amazed at how easy the return journey was; lots of alarmist weather reports but the UK Highways Agency had really done their stuff and there were almost no problems, mercifully. Now, today, back in Herefordistan, there have been considerable precipitations, but it's all stopped now and a thaw seems to be commencing, which is again a merciful thing.

Best,

Alistair

Ah, yes...I forget my manners.

Happy New Year!!!

[go12_3]

Happy New Year!!!

That's great!!!         

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU!!

Anger is very  self-distructive, avoid it at all cost, if you can't avoid it for what-ever reason, meditation is the best option. Yoga is a good place to start, if that doesn't help, then councelling is the alternative option. At the risk of sounding patronizing, I can relate to those who get really angry, it hapens it's part of human nature.

Hope that helps.

It used to help me in arm wrestling competitions, but in 99.99999999% of cases, you are right.

[gyzzzmo]

anger and agressiveness are for the cave-people.

[redragon]

You are absolutly right, Zheer. However, sometimes it's just really hard to control that destructive side.

[go12_3]

You know, the best way to let out anger is hitting a tether ball, just slug it around and
that's releases that inner urge to destruct something or someone....really....
or go for a quick run down the street or just call someone and vent, if that person is a really
good friend that is understanding of you.

But its not good to throw things around!! Sometimes when im angry i throw things around in my room  .The last time I did that was a few months ago. I have this doll with wings... and one day i just couldnt find her wings anymore and i was looking for them all around for a really long time  and i didnt know where to look anymore and i didnt know what to do and i kinda had a bad day anyway so i just got really really angry... so i just took my doll and threw her... (as if it was her fault ! ) and she flew into the chair and her neck broke and her head fell off!      it was really horrible! i cried sooo much....  i felt sooo bad!  and then my mum kinda fixed  her neck but i will never throw things around anymore!!! (hm except maybe some math books when im tired of it and i have too much homework to do     no i dont wanna throw things around anymore!!!)

Well, I definitely have a serious fire in my belly which needs some seriously proper outlets.  There is a reason I played 5 sports in high school and was in season with at least one of them year-round.  I also need to play the piano (intensively and A LOT) to keep things balanced.  Sometimes I feel like my core is actually a burning, fiery ball and it's not that I need to find some deep and dark reason for why that is, it's that I am simply built with that inside of me.  It's some kind of huge appetite for life and living.  I haven't been working out lately (though it's becoming pretty obvious that I need to start again), but when I am in shape I could very easily spend 4-5 hours a day working out very intensely.  If I were in the best shape of my life, I could probably pretty easily spend 6-7 hours (or more) exercising.  If I am not taking good care to let that fire ball burn out of me, an eruption will happen at some point.

This usually happens to me after a giant Chicken Vindaloo.

Just the kind of helpful and amusing comment for which we all know you so well!

If I "worked out" for that many hours in a year, someone would almost certainly already have published an obituary notice for me...

Indeed, I probably woulod have done that myself.

Well, whilst you are (as far as I am concerned) welcome to create such an obituary notice if you happen so to be inclined, since I seem not yet to be dead, you may find yourself having to exercise considerable patience while waiting for the appropriate moment for its publication; in the meantime, I promise not to "work out" in any way that might risk the bringing forward my demise (Karli, please also note).

Know what you should do?

The people who anger you, should die.  You should make them live in a hole, and burry them in there.  Once that action is completed, you can sit on top of their muddy graves, on your lounge chair with your radio, laughing and listening to them begging for their petty lives, while you get drunk.

Sincerely,
P
