How do you take your anger out?

[WildFire]

I go to the chatroom and flame.

 

[Inter4]

I just listen to some music: Heavy Metal

 

[Japanrocks12]

I just listen to some music: Heavy Metal

that itself is very invigorating and enfuriating

 

[bobgote]

To unwind i put on some loud music and lie on the ground in the dark and listen to it. I usually just need some time to myself and this is one thing i like to do.

When I get angry at my girlfriend, I go take a nap because I am just being a little baby.

When I get angry at the world, I flame up CFC and Apolyton.

 

[Sarevok]

i play a game where i can kill stuff. it can be as simple as the combat system in civ3 to going into the RTS sudden strike and bombing entire cities straight to hell or playing some Half-Life

 

[Sarevok]

if im mad enough ill probalby Napalm the city with katyusha's before i bomb it.

 

[Asher]

I go for a walk or a jog.

 

[addiv]

Play darts.

 

[WickedSmurf]

Run, work out, scream, break stuff. All depending on how angry I am. I can get pretty darn upset to say the least... Broke my foot against a tree once in pure and clean anger. But at least I have the Little Book of Calm now.

I don't suggest doing that too often. Speaking from personal experience, it can get to breaking a chair off someonelse's back and a shattered window

Oh, but I am calm. Just don't get in my way when I'm venting on a piece of stationary, furniture, bat or something...

I used to head straight to the woodheap. Half an hour with the heavy Canadian woodsplitter (a tool not a person) and I'd have a week's worth of wood and I'd feel so much better.

Don't have one over here so I have to make do with the usual yelling and general "spitting the dummy"

depends on where it is- but usally, no matter where of what, i'll hold of any real anger till later, when ZI can pace, usually around the pool, bare foot, the feel of the stone (its like a cement, but white, and porus, the usual stuff for a Pool I suppsoe) feels nice, and the scenery, when its nice is calming- I contemplate, think of whagt I would like to do, buit dont usually follow through on it- which is more then likelly a good thing- though somtuimes I take my anger out on the unsuspecting people of the conquests forum, who in there campaign for no Byzantine empire, and no cataphracts, make a conveinent exuse to take oput a little anger.

However, I too take joy in invadeing Poland and a little civ usuallt helps as well

 

[Eklektikos]

I too internalise it and remain on the whole quite peaceable and easy going. Very, very occasionally, though, someone does actually succeed in making me lose my temper. They rarely make the same mistake twice.

So do I, when im angry it sounds even better. It doesn´t make me less angry, but its a great experience.

It helps, but of course evil people there like to kick and ban without reason. And the occasional /akill which makes me disconnect.

chieftess...digi....

Of course, most of the time it isn't even my fault. People assume I am going to start flaming and they make fun of me so what am I supposed to do? Ignore it?

Nah, its funner to respond.

 

[Smaasnekje]

Take half an hour on an ergometer cycle, or put on some music that makes me think of either sports or girls and dance on the table.. Oh, and I also throws tennis balls in the walls of my hallway...

That doesn't sound like internalizing it to me.

It's actually been scientifically proven that Freud's little theory of holding anger in too long leading to "explosion" is completely false. I'll try to look for a link...
