I'm about to BREAK!

C- I wouldn't say that I have a problem with anger. Most of my close friends and family would use words like: Snappy, Smart Ass, Testy, Impatient, Easily Irritated, and maybe even Dramatic to describe how I get when things don't exactly go as planned. I admit, I can be demanding at times and I have been known to roll my eyes, bite my bottom lip, and give smart remarks quite fluently and in rapid succession but I'd hardly constitute that as a 'problem'. The thing is that this unflattering version of myself emerges only in times of great need; Sometimes you need to have that person who will selflessly become that annoying, nagging, increasingly loud and high-pitched voice that gets the heard moving. I don't know what it is but there is certainly something about that person that gets people up and at it... although I have to admit that I don't mind being that person at all. :) OK, enough about that.. as far as real anger is concerned I can say that while it takes next to nothing to get me mildly and even not so mildly irritated, bothered, annoyed, over it.. it takes worlds of things before I am genuinely angry. And when that rare occasion surfaces I have a choice: I can either explode and say everything that is going on inside my head with no regard for anything or anyone else, or I can walk away, cool down, and come back into the conversation/situation with other P.O.V.'s in my head as well as my own. I choose number two.. I learned at a very early age that words, even said from the closest of people, can hurt and I never wanted to be the one to send a word dagger into the heart of anyone I cared about. So when I am angry I walk away, breathe and go for a drive, calm down and think about what just happened, try and come up with solutions. Then I get back in the hot seat with a new level of understanding and am not just there to but heads. That said, there are certain things I refuse to tolerate from anyone (strangers or friends) like: Tantrums, hurtful words, violence, and juvenile vengeful acts. I may let it slide once and maybe twice but if I (who is probably the most stubborn person in the world) can control myself in times when I am so mad I can barely speak then everyone else should be able to do it as well. No excuses. That goes for elders as well.. I personally don't believe that because someone is older that it gives them the right to behave as a neanderthal at their convenience. If you're older then 5 then you need to behave like you're older then 5. Sorry Grandma!!! Pero ya, deja el escandalo!!! LMAO..


M- i don't consider myself an angry person. Like most people there are things that make us angry and we cannot control ourselves when we do become angry.Saint basil of Caesarea, a 4th century Christian theologian, viewed anger as a "reprehensible temporary madness".Like when I'm playing a video game and there is a boss i can't beat or a level with some IMPOSSIBLE feat i cannot complete that gets me pissed cause i don't want to use a cheat to beat that game. Some people say they cannot control whatever makes them angry. therefore we must practice patience and learn to control anger. I myself have developed a tolerance for my anger. simple actions such as breathing exercises, start to think of anything else in a calm train of thought.and stop myself from saying anything out of line.a DRUNK friend once recommended to just force fart your anger i was like what?....when i SMELT the liquor fumes from his fat face i knew such advice was not useful. Many places that exist are created to help you control your anger issues. holding in your anger also doesn't help at all it could then transcend and look for an outlet where you don't want emotion to show more. There's only so much you can handle from something or someone who makes you angry. For example i get threats,hurtfulness always from a five foot, long dark chip haired individual all the time. but, i have learned that que ella nesecita la escuela. so, then i feel sorry than angry..........lol.......grrrrrrr.....f**KING RAGE!!!!

you must learn to control your anger before your anger controls you. learn to master your rage, before your rage becomes your master. lmao
