Do you recognize or deny your angry feelings? Do you express it or keep it to yourself? What's the worst thing you can do when you get angry? And how you deal with it?

I use to stay angry alot over the years. Kept things bottled up inside which wasn't good, because when I got even more angry, I just blew up. I did my share of crying and hurting. As time went on, I learned to get over it and just laugh it off because I just got to the point where I could care less. I was always too shy and let people run over me. But not anymore.

Anger is really bad thing to happen to any of us. Everything gets spoil with anger. I also get angry very shortly, but now have started controlling the same.In a situation where my chances of loosing my cool are there, I think and try to cntroll myself, start smiling and then I feel at ease and become really happy after controlling that I did not become angry. One should sit down and have a glass of water to kill the anger.

Yeah, it could be better to know how to control our anger and it's also important to express our anger. We thought that it's not good to express our anger and better keep it to ourselves but it was wrong. Anger when keep it to our heart is like having a little pet monster in our heart and through years it become like huge monster that's beyond our control and later could be capable of ruining our self. Anyway thank you for sharing with us and enjoy your day!

When I am angry, I try not to lose control if I get angry. Taking it out on others never solves anything. Instead, admit to yourself that you are angry and try to figure out why. Once you talk about anger, those bad feelings usually start to go away. Everyone experiences anger, some people more intensely and frequently than others. Though anger is one of the most common emotions known to the human. Self-control is all about thinking before you act. It puts some precious seconds or minutes between feeling a strong emotion and taking an action you'll regret. Together, self-awareness and self-control allow you to have more choice about how to act when you're feeling an intense emotion like anger.

When i get angry i usually have a hard time showing it. I just keep shut and just keep everything to myself. When i'm alone i scream from the top of my lungs and throw anything i see. I'm still working on it- how to open my feelings to people and nt just keep it.

I've read an article on how important it is to show our anger and not keep it to ourselves as it can be really unhealthy and if taken for granted will later on ruin our life. As it's very important to know our anger and express it on the right way as to release those negative feelings in our heart. Anyway thank you for sharing with us and enjoy your day!

To deal with anger needs lot of experience and patience. In young age the control of anger is not possible.But, after gaining experience and knowing the advantages and disadvantages of it as we grow older makes us to avoid such situation of becoming ferocious. Now I am 50+ and hence have a total control on anger and do not express it. I have made a place for that in my mind and easily push this disturbing situation towards that and enjoy seeing an entertainment serial.

Dealing with anger is a bit complicated and not really easy as we need wisdom to deal with it on the right and healthy way, not just for ourselves but for others as well. Yeah, you're right when we're younger we just easily throw away our anger and never care for others however not all young ones who do that way. There are those people who taught by their parents on not to show their anger because it's bad and better keep it to oneself, that later on turn into something like a huge monster inside that's ruin ones persons life. It's very important to able to know and deal anger on the right way. Anyway thank you for sharing with us and enjoy your day!

I always control my feelings of anger. The word Anger is just a little short of Danger. If someone makes me angry during a discussion, I always tell them to postpone and make a schedule to discuss the problem. Sometimes, its hard to deal but being honest about how you feel makes you feel better.

There were so many times before that I tried to control my anger. But now, I cant not control it anymore. I think I am trying to be patient with my emotions now but I think controlling it was better than being honest to it because I tend to hit now every time I'm angry!
