Do you throw things when in anger ? Does it ease the tension and cool you down , throwing things that is ? And ever wondered how did you get into this habit of throwing things when in anger ? don't you think it increases the anger further rather than pacifying it ? I have never thrown even a matchstick in anger , so I wonder why people thwow things when angry ?

nope.. i don't throw things when i'm angry.. that's like so agressive.. imagine quarelling with your partner.. you actually throw something to him/her? oh gosh.. how can you do that.. haha.. i don't even wish to whack anything when i'm angry.. i always try to control myself.. i will just have a sit.. and needed to cool down.. and i just ask everyone to leave me alone so i can actually think what's going on here.. i think people that actually throw things when they're angry.. they're just being too emotional.. and they're just trying to show their agressiveness.. tryign to get attention i guess.. it's not good this way =)

Fortunately no, but I tend to yell though, which most of the time I regret it afterwards. Sometimes when I remember, at the point when I really-really mad, I go to the bathroom and wash my face. Surprisingly, it can cool me down quickly, and by staying in the bathroom, it helps me cooling down. I think it is habitual why people throw things when they are angry... but as long as it is his/her own stuff and he.she doesn't throw it to somebody else, I guess it is OK...:-) He/she might regretted though afterwards seeing his/her stuffs broken all over the place..:-)

It's human nature .. in a state of anger any one would give vent to his/her feelings by expressing vehemently over it. throw things ..break up glassware..These are but natural anger outbursts !

Yes I do. This is one of those things that are not done after thinking that at this point of time is it right to do so or not, It is more from the instinct than the mind. Though I do try to keep control on my anger but once I am angry than eveything goes out of control. Even my parents admit that they feel threaten when I get angery.

Sometimes when I am angry I throw something , it can be make me good. I think when we angry we can't handle we are feelings. I think you can't angry because you never thrown something even a matchstick. Best regards

No, I will not do any such things. However, I will hit all the things, which is coming on my way. I will show my anger one or the other way, then I will cool down.I will forget everything after that period. If I am not reacting to it that anger is there in my mind, once for all. I donot know it is good habit or bad one. I am not able to change it.

When I was younger I had a terrible temper and found that my throwing something, it released the anger and let me calm down. There is something quite therapeutic about smashing some old china against at wall, and although i no longer feel the need to throw anything, I can understand the need to throw things when someone is stressed and upset.

I don't throw things when I'm angry but I do get really quiet and want to go drive.
