Get whatever it is that is buggin me out in the open, and  take a long walk whilst listening to music. Music really helps to calm me down.

If i am angry, i do not talk. I will start reading even what i did not want to read or go where i will chat with friends. Atimes, i play music but it does not calm me down as fast as reading.

 I will have a zero thought for any action immediately when you provoke me, but after 20 minutes when I might have gone, then the anger will come to me that I must find it dificult to talk.  The next thing is to come back looking for the person, and at that point in time, I can do anything. I will be searching for the peoson, thinking why I allowed him to go. But, if it take a day before seeing you, is gone.  This is when i'm angry with outsiders.

lol at romeo!

as for me, i just remind myself that getting angry won't solve the problem, i'll only be hurting myself more,  and that calms me down a bit so i can think rationally. then i either listen to music or engage in any other activity to get my mind busy.

this may sound weird. when am upset my thought are always abstract. like for example if someone got me upset, i will be thinking if am some kannda of human nature that have some natural power to do the unimaginable like to conquer any obstacle's before me and the one who got me upset will be at the receiving end.

and sometimes i will be imagining had it been am some one grate, someone like this person will not come and be soiling my day.

After such thought, my anger will start to subsides gradually.

Well, If I'm angry, I just listen to classical or jazz music, it helps to pacific me. It is also good to keep the mind blank so as to stop analysing what cursed the anger. Try it, it always works.  Wink

depends on the "level" of anger and who is involved - either my girl,family,friends or strangers.

but most times i jus try to be calm and make the offender look like a fool and as far there is no physical

advancement ,we are all safe.my anger lasts only as long as the offender wants it to last and most times i even forget

there was one.

depends on the level of anger.
-If it's something that can't be handled -take a walk.
-If it's over someone- do something, keep yourself busy.
-If it's over an issue- keep cool, stay calm. Afterall-silence speaks louder than words
Sometimes littles issues can turn real nasty -one side has to compromise though.

Re: How Do You Manage Your Anger?

As for me i control mine by

- Wacting movies like Cartoons,Bestsellers & African show!

-but sometimes when it's hard to control i over-reacted!

I think whether the person adds one minute to my life or contributes to my existence- If not I walk away and let it go.In fact Such people rarely anger me or elicit deep emotion from me.

Now if it is someone that matters -NA REAL TROUBLE OH!!! I wait quietly and basically let it fester before venting my spleen and quietly giving you a piece of my mind.Trust me -I do rarely get angry as when I do I can say and do things which have greater repercussion than
 what finally made me angry.
Basically my anger is a case of WHEN TROUBLE SLEEP  YANGA GO WAKE AM,

It's definitely not a good idea to let one's anger remain bottled up.

For example, when I'm angry, I get out my rocket launcher and fire a few grenades into the neighbourhood to let off the anger. After I've levelled a few houses, I find that a great peace and calmness descends upon me.

Of course, what works for me might not work for you.

U have control over ur anger dear, it doesn't hv 2 last as long as the offender wants it 2.

@poster,
4 me, I decide whether 2 b angry over something or not 2 b. If I decide 2 b, then I wil voice my mind  out immediately and then keep quiet nomatter what the offender might say to annoy me the more. But if I don't want to b angry, I simply smile over it or keep quiet still and allow it 2 fade away.
