Temper Temper

[BlackPrincess]

Sometimes I can loose my temper easily. I don't pull a Naomi Campbell and throw a phone, but sometimes I feel like shouting.

Does anyone here have a temper? How do you deal with it?

I have an extreamly short fuse and sometimes go a little OTT and go into toddler mode where I'm getting close to a full blown tantrum. Doesn't happen to often though. Normally I just bang a bit and slam my door and then destroy old coursework or bank statments, stuff that has to be ripped up anyway.

Depends on what/who is trying to annoy me, in general I'm tolerant, and I only snap very rarely, although those who have seen it all admit it's scary :)

I prefer a witty, slicing come-back to pounding their face in, cuts and bruises last a few days, a good insult could last forever!

Yeah if I have a go at someone then I prefer verbaly expressing myself. When I can't work the TV or something and am having a bad day anyway that's when I get to the door slamming stage.

There's two opposite methods:

Seek human contact to make you laugh and help you forget your troubles

OR

Sit on your own and calm down


Listen to slow, relaxing music to sooth you

OR

Listen to cathartic angry music


When you're angry is the best time to philosophise I find. Repeating smooth sounding words like smooth and sooth can help too. Breathing regularly and listening to it really helps.

But the best advice I can give is to go to bed, you're probably just tired and a problem slept on is a problem squashed...

I think the best course of action when you get angry is to think about the consequences of doing something you later regret (e.g. if you decide to punch them in the back of the neck). In my experience when you do this whatever was done to you to make you angry seems pretty small in light of the consequences of you retaliating. But remember life is often what you make it, so relax and you'll probably enjoy it more!
