I agree entirely, and on the topic of how we handle anger, I got to the words "Superintelligence", immediately declared Vault had called this perfectly and closed it. Avoiding anger is the best step to not being angry.Mortai Gravesend said:
I get annoyed by plenty of things but it takes a hell of a lot to properly anger me. There's only been one person to witness the full extent of my rage because there's only been one incident where I've gone berserk and the person who caused it was within beating distance. The other time all I could do was shout strings of obscenities as loud as I could and lock the doors & windows so that the thieving bastard(Not the same person as before) couldn't get back in.
Truthfully I loved it when it happened. They were people I absolutely hated and to be able to get my revenge and be completely justified was so very enjoyable.

I am an enormous rager but only when playing video games, if anyone watches Rage Quit on Achievement Hunter, think that, but worse. Unbelievable I know...
I must be the only one who gets that reference...Vault101 said:
Unless of course, it wasn't a reference to "In Burgess" at all. That would make me very humiliated and very sad.
Good lord man, by the end of that, you were talking like a Red Lantern. "Nhard," "mplay," etc... I realize that was added intentionally, but if you actually do feel this angry all the time, you do realize that that isn't really normal or healthy? I hate to use the word "normal," like that, because usually I think that being "normal" is overrated, but in this case I'd like for you to think of having a "normal" amount of anger as being like having a "normal" amount of athlete's foot. Yeah, everyone's got a little, but there comes a point where you have to head down to the store and buy some soothing cream because you've got a legitimate problem.Doclector said:
All the things that you're angry... those are just how the world is. Of course no one thinks. We've created an elaborate illusion for ourselves, in order that we might try and forget that we live right on the edge of nothingness. We want to live as if we had forgotten that we might die at any moment, and the only way to do that is to stop thinking, so that's exactly what we do. Our entire society is built around distracting us, and even our distractions have become increasingly fraught with the contemplation of death because the illusion is falling apart.
It's fine to be the person who actually thinks. Hell, I'd say it's admirable to be the person who actually thinks... but having said that, if you just let it make you angry then it won't do you or anyone else any good. Part of growing up is learning to manage anger, and believe it or not unleashing anger on a surrogate (in this case a videogame) is only going to have a very limited use. That's because the anger is a symptom of something else, and if you keep ignoring the cause and releasing the symptom it'll build up on you. Maybe you can manage that, but you should ask yourself if that's a chance you really want to take? Do you really want to keep holding it in and risking the day where you can't hold it any longer?
See, it's not about learning to manage or control anger. It's about learning what makes you angry in the first place. Maybe it's something you can fix, but for the kind of stuff you seem mad about, chances are that what you're going to have to learn is how to let go. Good luck with it, and seriously, don't take it lightly. If you need some help, find it before you make someone else find it for you.
Anger really isn't my problem although I have been called a grumpy, old, curmudgeon just in a teenagers body. When I get called that though I kinda wish I had a cane so I could beat......
On second thought maybe I do have a little problem with anger
Either way I haven't snapped yet so I'm not too worried.

Let's see...Anger managment issues. Check. Sociopathic behaviour. Check. Slight Obsessive compulsion? I'll say check.Doclector said:

:-D> Trust me. You'll make friends and be working with like minded people.
I get mad I go on the nearest violent video game (Usually Fallout 3) and make a replica of that one scene in Meet the Spy with a shotgun and a raider head
I usually don't get angry to the point that you do, especially not everyday. Frustrated maybe, irritated perhaps. Sometimes I'll just play some Sims so I can play god. I don't kill them or torture them, but sometimes just lording over something can make you feel better. Then again, by the way you describe your anger, it sounds potentially explosive. I am especially worried about you 'biting' yourself, even though you don't break skin. Perhaps you do need to seek help and learn the root cause of this anger issue.
I agree with Colin Powell's method of dealing with anger: "Get mad, then get over it". You're not doing yourself any good if you bottle up your anger and you're certainly not doing anyone else any good if you let it control you. I let myself get mad and once I've done that, I convince myself to move on.
Have a fap if you're really pissed off.

I'm being very rude aren't I..
Apologies
When I'm angry I generally just go and watch some awesome youtube videos, or pat my dogs.
Sadly when I watch awesome videos, my first reaction is to look at the comments while it's loading.
Then sometimes I get more pissed off >.<

Well, seeing as I?m clumsy, 16 years old, have OCD, a family I can?t stand half the time, the world?s a stewing and filthy hellhole of corruption and suffering, and a whole assortment of other problems in my life that I feel trapped by?I get stressed and angry a lot. Moreso stressed. Like, 24/7; even right now, I have a fucking headache and I hate being in the living room around my mother and father because, sometimes, their mere presence just pisses me off. I can?t use video games, because of the aforementioned problems that I won?t bother listing off now. So I swear a lot. I do kickboxing once a week, and wind up my brother on a daily basis because he?s a nuisance who should?ve moved out years ago.
Still, that doesn?t help much. There have been many occasions where I?ve just wanted to yell at the top of my lungs, just destroy everything in my shitty flat, or punch some fucker that?s annoying me, but I have to suppress all that because it won?t do any good and I?ll just get in trouble. My counsellor told me this meditation technique, but every time I try it, it just doesn?t work. Literally nothing fucking happens.

I'm not often angry, but I can get pretty mad at illogical things (like my mom, she's so very dumb from time to time). For instance, I was once told to clean my room, and I'd said I would do it the next day. when I had awoken from my slumber (around 13:00) I went downstairs to get breakfast, read the paper etc. when I got back to my room my mom was mad at me for not cleaning my room quickly enough, so she did it herself. She was mad because I took my time to eat my breakfast. >_<
I also get mad when others are mad, and they are grouchy and annoying. Keep it to yourselves, I'm trying to enjoy my day here!

Ponies. watch ponies. Watch them sing, watch them dance, watch them frolic.
I have really bad anger issues and there is no "magic button" to make them go away. On the best of days I'm merely mildly unpleasant to be around, at the worst... well I'll let you know when I get out of prison if I do. Otherwise ponies, their stupid cuteness really makes the rage simmer down even if your thinking the whole time "This is sooo stupid".
