It really depends on what the situation is, if it angers me more than it hurts me I am usually loud and show my anger that way. Though when I am angry, though more hurt I am more silent and want to be alone to think about it, rather than yelling about it. When I am silent and more hurt the people around me that caused it usually feel really bad and want it to be resolved sooner. It is funny, when you are yelling and angry at people you hurt them, and when you are hurt and angry you just make people feel more guilty and sympathetic.

im not very vocal either. i rather be alone and cool down by myself. im not a big fan of other people patting me on the back trying to comfort me. i like some peace and quiet where i can just think to myself without others trying to pressure me to think one way or another.

Same here. I don't tend to shout and get rid of anger. Instead, it helps me a lot to keep silent and think about something else which is good and makes me feel comfortable. Within a few minutes all the frustration is gone and I always forget what had happened that made me feel angry. This a good tool I use often to keep things good with other people. I have also noticed that one person getting angry and shouting at the other will start a chain reaction and tend to spread like an epidemic. So, many a times when a person shouts and upsets the other person it happens to come back to that person many folds. This in one thing which I can be proud of. The chain breaks when it comes to me. If only we understand that the person who is shouting or getting angry at us in a victim of another person's anger and is just reacting we can handle the situation very well and not put oil to the fire. I just keep a blank face and keep staring at the person, not in an intimidating manner though, but just like paying a good attention to whatever he is saying. I find that if we do not react to the other person's shouting, he will definitely calm down much faster than if we do.

Previously i was shouting when i was angry but now days I learnt the skill and also know the disadvantages of shooting when we are angry and actually we loose our temper and shout but it harm to us only not any other person so it is better to keep quite and divert your mind in good thinking so that we can avoid any unconditional situation.

Usually when I'm angry I just keep quiet and go somewhere where I could be alone and think..Being angry can be very dangerous sometimes and can make people do beyond their limitations..I don't want this to happen to me specially when I'm really really pissed and mad..I'm afraid that when this time comes,I won't be able to control myself..so better be alone and quiet..

if you are angry do not raise your voice lower it , grab the persons attention of the person .look them straight into the eyes and say what you feel (no accusations what you feel) and do it in low strong voice.
