Well when I get angry I sometimes (not always) say things that I should never have.But then I do go to apologize to the person I was rude to.What do you do? and How you control your anger?

I really do try and control my anger. I walk away before a situation gets too heated. Step away and cool down, before I return. A lot of the time, it seems to work. A few minutes to think clearly in quiet, is going to really put some things in perspective all things considered. So it allows me to come down and not blow up and look like a lunatic. However, there are times where it is almost impossible to walk away. Then I blow up. Oh boy do a blow up. Everyone has their breaking points and it might take a while to get to mine, but when it happens, it is quite a spectacular breakdown to say the very least. I am yelling and screaming, all enraged and angry and all of these things. After a while, when both of the parties have time to cool down, apologies are handed out and regret as well.

I'm lucky because I can always control my anger. When someone makes me mad I do deep breathing first before saying anything. I always want to avoid hurting other person's feeling. Often times, I move away too for some moment to the person who made me mad. We really need to be in control of our anger at all times,because if not we may be in a big trouble. Stay calm.

I learned some breathing and release techniques in order to deal with anger. I am able to be angry, yes, but I will release it through breathing or release techniques, sometimes involving tears or eat a lot in the process. The most important thing is that I don't want to make any destruction or annoy others because of my anger.

It's true for me as well, when I get angry anything comes out of my mouth which I never expect to pronunce. Better not to get angry at all.

People who know me immediately recognize when I am angry or upset because I keep quiet. Not that I am a talkative person, it's just that I'm unusually quite like when people are gathering to chat with one another I just prefer to be alone or just answer monosyllabic words. In that way I won't be able to said some things that I may regret later on.

I have trouble controlling my anger. It shows on my face... Just like last night when I was in an argument with someone. I tried so hard to be mum about it and not respond but my god he kept on blabbering while I sat here in front of the computer..Finally he blew me off and I went screaming.

That's why I avoid people when I am angry. I don't want to involve any innocent bystanders. And I don't have to apologize to that person later on. We can apologize but that person will always carry the scar. One of the way to help me chill out is by taking a deep breath. Or, chocolate can help. Eating it make me calmer afterward.

I only shout with my children. i do fighting with my husband. With out people i never show my anger. I just stop talking with the person with whom I have anger. I don#t know how this habit comes to me. but this is a good habit. in real life i have lots and lots of friends. because I seemed to be cool for people.
