There are a few issues that annoy me a lot. I do make it a point to gently tell others. But apparently people dont understand gentle hints. So I am forced to react. In general however I'd say I am a cool person. The last time I got angry was about a month ago. I guess I was in one of those moods, and something that was brought up was indeed utterly unpleasant to me. But it took me a week to cool down. If a freind does get angry, I let her walk out. That way, both of us get time to reflect and realize where we failed. I did recently lose a friend, despite my best efforts. She just became abusive, and that annoyed me. I was still controlling my temper, but she cut it off. I am not going back into that abusive relationship. I know she has been thru much. But that does not condone bad behavior.

You are correct Vandana. Their are some issues on which you are forced to get angry. Some situations and people are so irritating that anger cannot be controlled and we lost our control of mind. Anger can disturb our relations and which in some way also harms us too.

I agree mastinet. Bottling up leads to more health problems while letting off steam makes us lose friends. I prefer losing people rather than ruining health. But of course, it is only in extreme situations.

Getting angry over some issues is not considered bad. Sometimes getting angry is also beneficial. Being cool all the times can also led to defeats.

I am a cool person and rarely get angry to any one.By practicing yoga or mediation,we can control all our emotion.I think it is not good to get angry for small pity things.

Great. I fully agree that one should always control his / her anger. According to a saying, anger is like a piece of burning coal that we use to hit out against someone else. The hurled piece of live coal may hit the person, even injuring him / her as we intend at that moment. But the most injured, the most seared, is the one who hurls the coal, the one who held it in the first place.

I am an angry person who is trying to be cool all the time especially during working hours. Sometimes when we meet with some stupid colleagues or team mates,I think no point for me to throw temper to them because this is not helping. I will show my angry temper to my boyfriend when he makes me angry. Maybe I am an angry person to who I am close with rather than just so-so people in my life.

Thanks for comments. Being angry person is not always bad but one should avoid such situations and discussions which make them angry. There are many ways to control anger. Some are: 1. Always start counting from 1 to 10 when you are getting upset. This is a normal way that we all have heard. 2. Start doing something that requires physical exert. Instead of punching a wall or a person, go run around the house, or mow the yard. Go for a walk, swim, cyclying, etc. This can provide a physical outlet for your emotions. 3. Try to perform some yoga and meditation activities.

Anger is an emotion that can be very hard to control and difficult to acknowledge. The difficult task is learning how to manage the anger in a constructive manner. Sme choose the option of violence and some choose to turn around and run. Anger can be destructive to yourself and others too. The steps to avoid could be: 1. Understanding the reasons for anger and understand its causes. 2. Determine whether specific anger is legitimate, or from expectation.

I think that i am a Happy person, when i was younger i let everything get to me and i was angry all the time, but as i got older i learned to not let the things that i can not do anything about get to me, What i did was change the way that i think about things, and i know that i feel a lot better when i dont get angry all the time.

Hi There, I am really a cool person with very little part of my life i get angered. I get angry rarely but only for genuine reasons. I do get angry whenever some of my close do some big mistakes but i try to cool myself down as fast as possible.

I get irritated easily, but I don't really get "angry" all that often. My irritation or frustration just tends to simmer. Probably worse and it's probably causing me high blood pressure, but hey...what can you do?
