How do you get your anger out?
 

I'm interested in how everyone here takes out or supresses their anger!

Recently I realized that primal therapy works amazingly well, as well as heavy exercise. I hate taking it out on people, and I usually just keep it within until later.

sleeeeep

Putting Nine Inch Nails on, and punching the bed, that helps a lot.

Listening to Nuclear Assault spraying people down on Counter-Strike usually does the trick, I find.

according to psychologyi've read vioence(such as punching a bed) and angry music only make things worse

dinosaur jr

take a big shit :eek:














:D im joking, im joking!

I put on Nine Inch Nails and punch my mom.

Whenever I hear NIN I get angry at how shit they are.

i listen to jazz and unwind

Trent Reznor is hot though, right? I mean, at least he used to be hot, I don't know what he is looking like these days. I always liked his nose. Don't care much for the "hair-in-my-face" look that seemed to surface in every single publicity photo. He had a nice face and he was always covering it up, poor thing. I'm guessing he had low self-esteem. Is he horrible looking now?

he has short hair and is super buff now a days

Whoa! That was unexpected. Is he workout buddies with Henry Rollins now or something?

I listen to a mixture of Sutcliffe Jugend and Elton John. Kevin Tomkins writes better lyrics than Bernie Taupin, but Elton's piano chops shall not be denied.

I put some ambient on and try to chill. That kind of calms me down, which is good. Or I take a ride on my bike.

I kick stuff that it doesn't matter if it gets damaged. One big kick usually does the job.

vacuum.

i usually don't get angry, but if i do, i isolate myself for a while, put music on, cry and make a drawing.

listening to music, yelling at my mum (which i shouldn't), swimming

it depends what situation i am in but i have shouted at people, not strangers but the person who angered me but i never hit anyone.

i think women are more creative with their anger or dont get angry at all where as men act like school kids or sulk.

last time i got angry i had a go at the person who made me angry until my anger subsided (about 5 mins, and they deserved it)

Hush hush with all yer slaggin off of the Might Trent Reznor and NIN


NIN are an important part of how i take my anger out, but then again they probably have a lot to do about how i got angry in the first place.

I usually shout or cry. Or both. Then I apologize.

i douche. haha

I dunno. play first-person shooters, taking a shit also helps, i guess. (No, I am not joking).

This Trent at his best I think! Uber-Cool dressed in black Trent

When I was younger I used Metal music to get my anger out...Rage Against The Machine used to do the trick quite well...now the shitness of most metal music just makes me more depressed.

Nowadays I'm stuck in a constant state of Irony and Sacrasm...so I have hardly any anger in me.

I'm definitely not slagging off Trent. I have a conflicted relationship with his music, that's all.

mailing anthrax.

By relaxing...reading, listening to music. I don't know...does that stuff get anger out of you? If not, then I suppose I supress it...haha.

I'm not really involved in any physical activity, so I don't let my anger out by exercising or anything. Also channeling yr anger through your art or shit like that doesn't really work for me either.
I can't really take it out on a individual or go at someone, because most of the time it's not the people, but the circumstances that are troubling me.
Occasionally I wish I'd have the ability to make incredibly foul, violent and abrasive music. At least listening to it helps at times.
I do tend to complain a lot, but don't really make an effort to make things better.
Next time I get pissed off, I just throw myself to the floor and have spastic fits.

????

Go out, take a chainsaw and kill some gipsies.

For me it's less about early vs. recent material, and more about Nine Inch Nails as a whole.

Anthrax is a very productive way of venting anger indeed. There was this one time that I mailed anthrax to the wrong person and it got scanned by the Chile police. Their guard dogs caught it and back traced the package, and came to me thinking I was a hater. So away to Chile prison I went (Canada allows stuff like that to happen on the odd occasion). Anyway, back to my tale, they started to seeeee me. They looked at me in the eye and vented:

"This is....not a game. This harms your fellow people"

But really, I didn't know what to say because I was aware of what he was saying, and I had no proper logical retort back to him. So he explained it to me. Anthrax is an acute infectious disease caused by the bacterium Bacillus anthracis when they are exposed to infected and and is highly lethal in some forms. Anthrax most commonly occurs in wild and domestic ruminants, but it can also occur in humansanimals, tissue from infected animals, or high density of anthrax spores. Anthrax cannot spread from human to human. Anthrax infection is extremely rare in common domestic pets (dogscats) with only one documented case in the USA in the last 15 years. The word anthrax is derived from the Greek word anthrakis, or "coal", in reference to the black skin lesions victims develop.

So I then realized how I was harming people, and became AWARE of what it can do to my fellow people. So it was the last time I sent anthrax out without permission from a local authority.

i don't get angry.

I ride my scooter, watch a good flick, or do something physical like playing basketball.

Do stress balls work?
Work is driving me insane at the moment, it's only a saturday job too. People infuriate me there, I always try to see the good in people, but lately all I see is the bad shit. Sometimes I feel like the wicker man, in a strange place with a lot of strange people.

I've had periods like that at my job and I told a coworker who is currently having this problem my secret.

once I stopped taking every little fuck up they did so personally (there where lots and they compounded), I was able to distance myself from them far enough that it no longer mattered. I take my job seriously and expect the same of others, but the true fact is MOST people*** are either super-stupid, super-lazy or both (the completely untrainable make me super-crazy).

you won't ever be able to fix these people and moving to a new job just brings you a fresh batch.

save your blood pressure if you like your job (it's only 1 day a week afterall) and just.....stop caring about them so much.

anyways....worked wonders for me. :D



***disclaimer: I think that most people here fall outside the norm and are somewhat more intelligent than general population. this can be said for most message boards however.

My solution has been to get drunk
Im starting to realise that isnt a very good way of sorting things.
Im going to try and exercise as well as putting myself in better situations.
Anger seems to osscilate with despair and hoplessness i find, especially at the moment.

Smoke crack.
