I usually don't get angry easily but once I'm angered, I find it hard to forgive that person and I don't forget (exception: my parents since they usually make me so angry but I still love them so it's okay). When I was young, anger makes me want to trash around and break things. I even remember I tried to stop breathing because I'm so angry I want to die and make my parents feel regretful. I know it's stupid but I was a child. :) Now, it takes more than one offense before I can get angry or to outwardly show that I'm angry. Usually, if I'm soooo angry but I can't do anything to the person/situation, I destroy my room or project my anger into something else or I cry. I got a lot of pillows for my tantrums. I also banged all doors. If that's not enough, I cry silently. But after that, I'll be very quiet and then I won't talk to the person anymore. In short, he/she will not exist for me though ironically, I also don't forgive and forgive. SO maybe it's not really he/she doesn't exist to me but it's more of, I look at that person as some kind of acquaintance whom I really don't like. Best way to cope with anger (in my case). How about you? How do you cope with anger? Have you ever been so angry with someone/something?

I am a simple person with simple needs. It does not take much to make me happy. However some people can be so annoying, that their attitude makes me real angry. I believe that respect is a basic human right to which every person is entitled, regardless of age, social status, color, creed, etc. I make it a point to treat others the way I expect to be treated. But, once I am displeased, I find it hard to pretend to be nice. I keep my distance from the offender,try to be cordial when we happen to bump on each other, but I cannot be friends with them any longer. Yes, it is my duty to forgive and I can do that. But, it is also my duty to be honest and not pretend to be happy with them. I cannot keep my anger bottled up, so I let the person know what I didn't like about what he did. Yes, I have experience being so angry that I spent almost the whole day writing about it and expressing my anger on paper or in the computer. I have a folder, named "Heart Murmurs."

I hardly get angry in the first place. I will try to avoid the person I am angry with. I will try to think of something that makes me happy.
