I think a lot of wrong decisions are made when you're angry. It's hard to see both sides of the issue when you're upset. Personally, I try to give myself a day or two to calm down before I make any final decisions.

It is really evident to have a wrong decision when you're mad. It is a state of which your mind is not on the standard level to think. Instead, it is only focused on one thing, and that is of being mad. And consequently, all you are thinking is to overcome madness just because you want to revenge for a particular event. That's without realizing that it could harm you later on. When you're trying to have a discretion amidst of temper, please refrain from it or have someone who could give you comfort during this time.., open up, weigh it up, before you arrive into a finale.

It can really be dangerous if decisions are taken in an excited or angry mood. When we become angry, or mad, we lose our control over the mind and also lose our thinking power. So it is natural that if we take and act through our decisions when we were angry, it will cost us a lot in future. I have taken a decision. I never take decisions in anger. It is true, that when I become angry, diffrent thoughts come into my mind, I think that I will do this, or do that. But in practice, I never act according to those thoughts. I decide when I become cool. If after becoming calm ,I think I should act as I was thinking to do when I was angry, then I do that. So I always try to maintain the principle that not to act in anger. Thank you

I agree. Sometimes when we make decisions when we are mad, we end up regretting it afterwards. It's because we don't really think straight when we're mad. We say things that we sometimes don't really mean and we just can't take it back. I experienced this once with my first ex, I was so furious I said a lot of mean things and I was shouting at him. It was good that he understand that I'm just mad but he admitted that what I said hurt. So I suggest we control our temper. If we're mad, just stay in one corner and ignore the person who made us angry to avoid saying any harsh words we might end up regretting and let's just them if we're calm enough not to shout at them. :)

awww i can relate to this,.... but im so lucky that i have special someone whose very patient to me and very understanding..... sometimes we really can't control our feelings when were very mad, i think the best thing to do is, you should first shut your mouth, dont talk first just try to cool it down and much better is to listen to your partner first, if you think that you cant handle the situation the best way is not to talk it first just leave that problem.... until when both of you decided to face the problem then thats the time i think that you should talk to each other....

You should never make any decisions uring an emotional yp heavel. You should always waite until you are calm and the emotions have calmed down. When a deat or devoeice has occured is a very bad time to make life changing decisions.

well this kind of situations are hard to prevent. Whenever we are angry we tend to have this emotional burst that even the smartest person cannot control. I think we just have to learn from our mistake and that doesn't mean just once.. sometimes it takes a million times for us to do the same mistake just to learn the lesson we must have. yeah. I always make wrong decisions whenever I'm angry but I think its just one of our way of cooling ourselves.

you are quite right. sometimes we take decision in haste or in anger and u feel sorry at last. i generally avoid this. I think always before i take decisions also.but i think in case of relations there can't be so that you take your decission in haste.

this is so true when we are mad we tend to do and say irrational things that we would not even consider if we were in a calmer mood !

I agree. When we are mad we tend decide based on how we feel at the moment. But we regret it later on when we realize that we haven't seen the whole thing the way we should have. We hurt not only ourselves but other people as well.

Yes we do say and do the wrong things when we are mad and upset the best thing to do is try to get to ourselves listen to music or something to calm us down then try to talk about it. I have seen a few that if they had taken the time to calm down then talk well they would not have cheated on their love.

when we are mad, our brain's not that relaxed. full of stress and anger. so, we give out mostly wrong decisions. like when my ex boyfriend and i were arguing and we thought of breaking up. he decided to stop school if i will push through with the decision. being fed up with his cheating attitude, i did break up with him that same day. and he did what he said and not go back to school anymore. at first, i felt sad about it. thinking it was my fault that he wasn't able to finish school. but i guess it wasn't me who made the wrong decision that day... it was him who decided wrongly for his future. yep. it is true. it's better to decide when you are all back in your senses... mad-free, relaxed and stress-free.

Yea, we make incorrect decision when we are angry. Its always better to give yourself time to settle emotionally before you decide on the next line of action. Everybody has one irrational decision we have made which we are now regreting, but as one gets older we become more in control of our emotions.

Yes I notice that I don't do that. I don't make decisions or even say anything when I am mad/ really upset. I would just go away, be alone for a little, calm my nerves down, before I talk or make up my mind again. I don't want any regrets out of angriness. I believe if I have a sound mind and I make a decision or say something, it would be the best decision or saying at that time and I wouldn't have any thing to regret. But if I am just mad and hurt someone I really care for, that would be so much worse, the pain would just go right back to me.

I always make my partner mad. Though I know he is short-tempered, I still trigger him to be furious. I can't say this is intentional. I just want to end the discussion visibly. Since he is short-tempered, he always starts a break-up, which of course, I don't accept. But I know he really loves me, and he is just saying it because he is mad.
