• To control your anger¸you should know what pushes your irritation buttons i.e what exactly makes you angry
• be cool be clever - anger makes us stupid literally what seem like a good idea when we are angry can seem really stupid when we calm down. The angrier we become; the more intelligence drop. Try as much as you can to calm down when upset... Count to ten and between each count say to yourself: "i'm becoming calmer"
• dont get angry for pity's sake - anger makes us see other people as objects to be acted upon rather than human beings to be interacted with. We become angry with someone when we think they're preventing us from getting what we want.
To get full control of your anger, see the person you're angry with as a 6-month-old helpless baby and your anger will just melt down in no time.
• breathe...
Anger doesn't just happen in your head. As anger rises, so does your blood pressure. You begin to breathe more rapidly, blood gets pumped into your arms and legs for fighting.
Natural steroids are released into your blood stream making you feel stronger and less susceptible to pain_which is why angry people might punch a wall without feeling the pain until later.
deal with your own anger on a physical level
say to yourself: "there`s no way 'm getting raised blood pressure over this!"
Breathe in deeply, then breathe out slowly. Your out-breath needs to be longer than your in-breath.
If you do this you'll calm down rapidly and your blood pressure will quickly normalise. You'll also find out you can think more clearly again.
• let anger know who's boss - with this you can do away with your anger early enough.
• overcome real frustrations Remember the words of the Budha: "being angry is like grasping a hot coal with the intent of throwing it at someone else, you are the one who gets burned"

tell us what you do to control your own anger

i dey come.. i still dey vex

The first step towards learning how to control your anger is to master the bodily symptoms you experience before you become angry.

If you can master the signals that tells you that you are getting angry, then you will find it easy to take yourself out of the situation before the anger reaches uncontrolable level.

Mostly its people who make us angry. So speak to yourself positively when you encounter such persons. Tell yourself that the person who is getting on your nerves is just an idiot. Make fun of it. When we're angry, our thinking can get very exaggerated and overly dramatic. Try replacing these thoughts with more rational ones. For instance, instead of telling yourself, "oh, it's awful, it's terrible, everything's ruined," tell yourself, "it's frustrating, and it's understandable that I'm upset about it, but it's not the end of the world and getting angry is not going to fix it anyhow."

Good one OP

I am hot tempered as I stammer slightly. I have had lots of experience in my hot-temper encyclopedia that I began to work on it. It affected me socially as I did not condone tease from my " friends " . any slight jokes meant to marr me will be repelled with a stiff bark and in most cases , with an automatic slap ! Kpawai ! Naturally , this had to scare people away as I wasn't an approachable type . I was forced to work on my temper and all the prodigal friends are back
