Do you 'react' when angry?

Yea, I can be pretty nasty. It all depends on what I am feeling. You don't want to cross my path when I am bad. I am full of surprises so you wouldn't want your life ruined in a wrong way. :P

It all depends on the situation. If I am at work and someone makes me angry or frustrated, I count to ten and try to calm myself down. If possible, I retreat to a quiet area (usually the toilet) and let out a huge silent scream. I feel better then and more in control. At home I react in the same way initially, but my daughter tends to push all my buttons and I react by ranting and raving.

The truth is, although I hold my temper at most times, I get carried away by my anger sometimes. Actually, I do not get angry without my mind on. I notice that I always think first as to what will be the best thing to say in retort. I do this only whenever I feel that the guy is too insulting and has to learn his lesson. All of us will feel that there are moments when we have to say what we truly feel about things otherwise, some people will regard us with disdain and disrespect if we do not make them aware of their proper places in this world.

A few years ago, I would react & trust me it was not good. Now, with age and knowledge of self I handle things in a much better and more productive manner. I open my mouth with wisdom. The law of kindness is on my tongue:-) (Great Question)

For better or for worse, when I get angry I tend to bite first and THEN growl.

Well, how I react it depends on who I'm angry at and why.If it's my dad I'm more likely to lash out and yell because that's how he deals with anger and otherwise he won't get that I'm angry at him. When I'm angry at others it usually tranlated into frustration which has a tendency to make me cry, which is very embarassing when it happens in public, let me tell you what.

No i am not abgry man and i not react

i always react when i am angry and argue with others around me. for me to shout and scream lets all my frustration out and once i have done this i feel a lot better and then i calm down after 5 minutes. i have great control over how i react and would not try to be violent and aggressive

When i was younger, i did react when i was angry, but as i grew older, i noticed that it does not get me close to my target and does not do good to me emotionally, so i just stopped. Today when ever i am angry, i excuse myself, and take a day or two to cool down, and just after wards discuss and solve the problematic situation.

It depends on what kind of anger I am feeling. Most of the time, I repress it and it becomes saddness. And then I wallow in it for a bit....and it passes. Other times, I react in a knee-jerk kind of way. I take my sharpened tongue and say something I later regret. But lately, I've paid close attention to why I get angry.... see what it is that sparks such emotion. In trying to figure it out, I've noticed it subsides and I am able to think rationally.

I always do the worst response when I get angry. Often I do nothing but smile, to show them that I can handle annoyances, then I felt stupid afterwards, cursing them. Its too heavy when you always tolerate things specially if somebody insult you. That's why it's really good to show it rather than hide the feelings, the emotions that must be free. Too bad when all the bad emotions filled the heart. It might or it really cause problems, psychological and health problems. That is why, i am trying to be strong now, to beat someone if its needed, or just a simple words to say that you don't like the way they did to you so STOP!!.

we have a similar situation here..i also tend to react immediately without even thinking what my reaction would bring to the situation or person i'm reacting to..i often react negatively and regret to what i've already said and done.. i guess we all have those kind of moments.. but what is important is that we have the will to make things right afterwards..say sorry and make things better..though i know it's really hard ta say sorry and take back what is alread done..

Normally i am a quite person, but under compelling circumstances if i'm provoked, more so if i'm correct on my part,then the person inducing/provoking me will be in disarray, i wud just shoot volley of questions and will pin him down, make him repent for his/her actions. No question of counting ten, bang on target....

Well i go and sleep, so i dont burst out and have anger under control

I react with a calm voice and i rarely do i shout when i get angry.

I'm definitely like you, I'm very hotheaded and tend to get really angry in an aggressive way. These days I truly try to calm myself down so I become rational again, but it's hard work as I've been like this all my life and you can't just change how you react overnight. I am seeing improvement though, so it's working, but it's going slowly and sometimes I still just lose it completely :(

When it's just a bubble of an anger I pop it fast, I say what's on my mind and that's it. But, if it's the anger management type, I literally count to ten and hold everything back. I don't want to regret what I might say in the heat of the moment.

Yes, I will. But I will try to control myself . If I don't do that, I will feel very bad. only when I am happy, I will not react to the one anger me.

I usually am very reserved when it comes to that. As much as i would like to just impulsively fight, i can't. But now, i have learned to as much as possible air out the injustice of little things, i complain openly now, and I get overly SARCASTIC and that's what i do best when faced on that situation. I just learned that, hehe..after working with customers in call centers and dealing with other affiliates..i learned to fight. BUT im still nothing compared to my amiga...she chooses NO ONE at all, cuss right out and shouts when she feels she's been wrong, heck, she even hits... i wish i can be that tought..but i just cant..and sometimes its jst a point against me :( hehehe.. cheers!

responding is better
