How do you deal with your temper?

Are you the quiet brooder who sits there and thinks about it?

Or are you the one who wants to have it out immediately?

Re: How do you deal with your temper?

a lot of damage can be caused if the anger just explodes on the spot though

instead of going up to the person and having a screaming back and forth fest, I would rather write what caused me to get angry with the person and that helps lower my anger, I can think a bit more rationally after thinking about it completely from all sides and writing and seeing it on paper

after that i try to talk calmly with the other person. it's all learned personal behavior. If the other person still doesn't see my side of the situation or see reason there is still that side of me that is a little stubborn, more like "WTH it makes sense to me why can't you see it my way"............still working on that side of myself :-D

Re: How do you deal with your temper?

Depends on who makes me mad...I normally have LOADS of patience..but when I lose it...I dnt know what I say and I dnt know what I do sometimes!! I have only lost my temper twice in a bad way...I remember it so well..coz I have never lost it like that....and I don't want to again either.

Most of the time I sit and just brood...or I jst wait till am alone and then explode and say all the crazy words I want to say!!! :D

Re: How do you deal with your temper?

^ This.
Im a very nice person but when I lose my temper..I ask to be left alone, if they still bug me I could become the cruelest creature in the entire world. I say the harshest stuff ever that one could never imagine in their wildest dream.

Re: How do you deal with your temper?

Neither do I bottle up, nor release it totally/immediately. Both are harmful. Usually something in between works for me, but in different forms (depending upon the person & the situation I am dealing with). Sometimes, to some people you have to convey (one way or the other) that his/her repetitive provoking behavior isn't tolerable anymore. Sometimes anger managment helps in focusing more on positive/creative work/ working out. Sometimes cold water (drinking/doing ablution) helps in forgiving & forgetting. For strangers quietness (ignoring) helps....etc. Mostly when I feel angry, I try to calm myself by thinking of the negative consequences of my anger, that are mostly incurable. Because while angry, one is easily vulerable to do/say the most destructive things (physically/mentally/spiritually) to oneself, to people around and to one's relationship with them.

Sharpen my knives.

Re: How do you deal with your temper?

I touch myself when I am really angry. That is like my spiritual journey from the state of being upset to the mystical state of contentment, serenity and poise. The greatest gift god has given me is myself.

"Auzubillahi minashaitan nirrajeem" is a cure for anger. When said, it removes the effect of the devil (that runs through ones veins like blood when one is angry, and can make one do anything at that stage).

Re: How do you deal with your temper?

Okay this is actually true. If I say this a few times...I feel better.

I am one of those brooders that doesn't talk about things immediately. Ever. I process it for ages before I actually talk it out.

That is bad.

Re: How do you deal with your temper?

whatever i do, it has to be followed by crying. If i keep it in,i cry. if i say something mean i cry too.

Re: How do you deal with your temper?

Usually i am very calm person. But if it is something to be said that i am upset with someone. I would let them know. However, when i get angry i do not talk..and if i do..then i'll explode and yaa like Sanaa said..i can say stuff which people never expected me to say every. So i knowing myself that my anger is very bad i tend to explode "this one time".

Re: How do you deal with your temper?

i always keep it inside, cant just let it out at that moment. feels better to discuss it once im cooled down
