You shouldn't I tend to get angry sometimes and take it out on other people, I know I shouldn't do it, but when I am stress out that happens. I always end up apoligizing for it. I think that is the best thing to do. when you are upset how do you handle it. I did that a few times at work with coworkers but I always appoligized. Tell me How you handle situation. when your angry, most people don't want to talk to anybody untill they cool down. so you count to ten? let's hear it? + for everyone.

I know plenty of people that take their anger out at everyone around them but I'd like to think that most of the time I can keep my anger under control. Other people around me may know something is not right but I won't take out my anger on other people.

If I get angry on somebody or for something - never take it out to other people. Somehow burn it inside. Just one problem - anger make an irritation what sometimes i express out to my family, especially on kid (shame to me!) But maybe it's why that when is angry, need a some time to calm and stay alone with own minds...but it no matter for kids, who have a hundreds of questions and their requirements mother must make true right at sight... But if i get angry at home, I will not be vicious at work. Anyway I always analyse myself - do I'm right? And try to improve my behavior in the future.

I will try to refrain from outbursts normally, and then it swells inside of me when I get home. If I get mad at home, then I will try to keep it to a minimum, unless I am being pushed in a way I don't like, then I spew like a volcano, and I pity anyone in that wrath, as I tend to bottle up lot, so when I explode, I go off! :-)

I am very easy going and it is so hard to make me angry. It has to be something reallyyyyyyyyy...big to make me angry. I use NLP for difficult situations.

Neuro-linguistic programming(NLP) It allows you to change, adopt, or eliminate behaviors, as you desire, and gives you the ability to choose your mental, emotional, and physical states of well-being.

When I am really angry it shows on my face and usually people (friends, coworkers etc.) stayed away from me. Anyone who didn't know me real well and tried talk to me also left me alone after the first snarl. LOL

It depends on what I am angry with and what it is in regards to. Most of the time I try not to be mad at the world and my family, but when it feels like the whole world is against you, it is hard to remember they are not. I have learned that the world really does not care one way or another about you and your life, so why let it bother you? Do they care if you got mad or sad becuase they said something? Probrobly not if they even know they did it in the first place. Taking this form of action is easier said than done. :) Good topic

I honestly try to have some time to calm down and relax when I'm extremely angry or stressed out so that I don't take it out on everyone around me... but I don't always succeed. Sometimes I do tend to get a little snappy with those around me when I get angry, but when I find myself acting like that, I will try and seclude myself for a while and regroup (get myself together).

I do my best not to do that. I tend to be quiet when I get angry. My family knows when I am real quiet to just leave me alone. If I do explode, the person knows they had it coming to them. Look out when I get on the war path.

I often walk away and give myself sometime to think things over. Therefore, when I am confronting the issue, I will be using logic and reason over mere emotions.

When i am angry with someone then i hate talking to that person . I would manage myself to cool down by talking freely with other people. But if the situation is worse then i cant control myself. It would definitly reflect on others . My parent used to say you are really worse at other people when you are not in a good mood. I think i have to control this.

Normally if I am mad at someone at work, I can keep my composure until I get home, then I will take it out on my hubby, at least this is what he tells me. I have to agree. I think it is because I am so-o-o comfortable at home, that when I unwind from the day, I tend to spiral a bit out of control (kind of like the Tasmanian Devil!) :-)

Sometimes when I’m angry with someone I often just keep it to myself. But most people around will really notice that I’m mad because I’m really not talking and you can really see from the expression of my face that I’m really having a bad day. But I think, being quiet and not talking is better for me when I’m mad. Because when I’m mad I have the tendency to say harsh things that I regret saying after wards. And it happened before that I hurt the feeling of someone I love because I said something while I was mad. So I learned my lessons, so now, every time I’m mad I just try to be quiet and let my anger cool down first before I say something again that I might regret in the end.

I sometimes do when I am extremely extremely hell lot of angry. It is wrong. Not even good for long-term. The other person doesn't deserve it and it ruins the relationships. Secondly, apoligizing doesn't work here. How many times will you do that? Apoligizing doesn't mend that much as your image has already gone bad. I just keep silent and try to control my anger. Drink water. Or start foot tapping, just diverting your time. If you don't take out your anger in initial 6 seconds, science proves that it just melts down. Try to do positive things instead of taking it out in negative way. You got to visit www.6seconds.org Happy Living :)

I also tend to express my anger, sometimes I even scold at the person just to release the emotion. And same with you, I end up apologizing for what I did. This usually happens when I'm not in the mood or some things turned the way I didn't expected. Stress in work, thinking of personal problems, and future plans also affect how I handle my anger. When I have time, I want to release the anger by shouting.. really loud shout, which I oftentimes do at the beach.. haha! Or, just grab my pillow and shout there. That was my effective way of letting go of the anger.
