"How do you shake off feeling angry?
"
It depends why. If it's a person I'm angry with and its possible I'll try and tell them otherwise I talk about it to someone else and get it out of my system that way. |

Used to break something that I immediately regretted breaking. The idiotic feeling afterwards took the anger away quick.
Now I just spend some time off on my own and chill for a bit. Work through the anger. |

I might be wrong, but you seem like the kind of person who would be very upfront and direct when angry. Maybe to the point where people mistake it for aggression, but I don't think that would be your intention |

"Chocolate or angry sex. Or both!
Angry sex with chocolate?

Hollow Santa has a rabbit? They should NEVER be on the same shelf at the same time.

It used to result in comfort eating (not good swallowing your emotions down, I have found) but now just work it out physically and then discuss it after, sometimes.
Then-
Let it go
Let it go
Can't hold it back anymore...
Erm, sing it out!
But not to Frozen- more like Linkin Park or something similarly shouty!  |

There's a mixture of shaking off activities and swallowing it down stuff.
I have done just about everything on the list in the past. Tonight I've done the meditation and chocolate combination. |

No. I don't like confrontation. I just don't really do anger. If I'm pissed off I wander off. It takes quite a lot to make me angry these days. |

Can depend on why I'm angry & who with.
Anything from having a stomp / slamming door session, having a good cry, listening to loud music, going for a walk. |

"Rarely get angry these days, it makes for a much easier life for me,
Can't be doing with all that negativity I'm to old"
I do feel it's an age thing with me. I've just given up being angry at stupid people who will never change. I find laughing at them helps.
I've been bullied for years and I couldn't change how he behaves so I changed the way I behaved and it's totally worked. I'm a better person for it. |

Yes I agree, too much hardwork being angry.
When I see the angry style posting from some people on here I just think ~ you need to chill..... |

I can bottle it and ignore it in some situations
on others the lot can come out in one go
im also a breaker not slamming doors or taking all things off the mantle piece
it also shows with the music that I play as well that can go a bit louder than normal playing |

I will still get angry about some injustice issues. I'm not sure I'd want to totally lose that.

I was never angry enough to need to manage it. It just upset me. Not good for my health so I took on board some really great advice and changed the way I reacted. It almost seems like a sport to him but I don't satisfy his need for a reaction any more. That part I find quite funny. He doesn't. That appeals to me even more. |

I'm a great believer in this also I quite often threaten objects in silly ways like my computer at work gets told that I'll smack it to bits with a bath sponge |

I'd like to say go and do exercise, a run or something to burn off the energy.
But it usually ends up with me just shouting every swear word I can think of, at the top of my voice sat in the car, or stomping around at home (if Ben is out)
Not good!  |

Speaking of anger management, I had to do a stint for getting into fights at school. Those fights were mostly with bullies, so I learnt nothing because I thought it not my problem, however, now I'm older, I realise I might have benefitted from it. Might also have been useful to have just ignored my pride and told the teachers I was being bullied |

"Im all for being chilled but anger is a healthy emotion imo. If you can't get angry you need to lower your dosage or start to worry."
I agree that it can serve a very useful purpose. It can be good for you, as long as it's not explosive and out of control, and is thought to be a healthier response than fear.

I disagree, I've tried to get rid as much negativity in my life as I possibly can, it has had a great improvement on my mental health, I don't think it's healthy to make myself I'll when I can do something a out it, I'm I'll enough through things I have no control over, I can still get pissed and annoyed but that doesn't conjure up those emotions real anger cause.
I've also taken drugs that block out all emotions and there not good

I generally agree with this. All emotions, including anger, are important. Negativity is one thing, but anger shows you really care about something.

Also been on drugs which "levelled the emotional peaks and troughs" however, I think accepting my anger has helped me to assess what needs to change in my life |

Just think of the social injustices we would still have if no one had got angry and done something about it.

"Being angry & not being able to do anything about it is the worse."
Actually, I think that's it. For most things I have a way of dealing with it but when I can't do anything about the cause I get frustrated and feel impotent.

Calming my mind is a good skill and habit that I practice. Acceptance of anger can be helpful. I may do some physical activity or exercise. Or go to a calming place, or just change the scenery, be outdoors.
Talk something through if needed. |
