When I'm very angry, I tend to think irrationally and if I were to act, I would do it on impulse solely based on how I feel. I could say that most stupid and hurtful things. This is why when I'm angry, I try as much as possible to just stay quiet and keep to myself. At that point I reflect on everything that led to my rage and only then can I realize if it is really worth getting upset over and often times it is really not worth it.

It doesn't have to really get ugly. If only we all stop for a moment to think if it is really worth it. The thing about acting on anger is that we may say and do things unimaginable. Things we can never take back and we may regret them for the rest of our lives.

Sometimes we say things we don't mean and other times we spit out out true feelings. This is why we must try to control our anger at all times.

Yes. Being quiet is also one of the way to control the anger. Just ignore the things that make us angry.

When once we realize that anger though an emotion is a negative one we will be able to manage it.We  all have this emotion in us and the only difference will be the level by which each person can control theirs. One thing I like about myself is the ability to control negative emotions. No one has ever benefitted from such emotions so it better we put them in check.
The first thing I do is to avoid people and places that will angered me.No need staying in such a situation it will never bring anything good.


If I find myself angry I would rather walk away and totally ignore than react, because I might not like my reaction at all.


I will prefer a round table discussion to iron things out it would be better that way, no need killing myself with anger and regretting later.

Managing of one's anger is the most difficult thing anybody can do. A lot of people don't even know about anger management talk more of knowing how to apply it when the moment surfaces. Unfortunately, anger has led many on the path of great destruction because they couldn't curtail their anger.
On personal basis, I find it very hard to control that part of my emotion responsible for dealing with anger. This often happens whenever something/somebody gets on my nerve, and before I'll know it, my entire being would be enraged with anger, that I'd feel like loosing my composure. Previously, if something really anger me, I can go as far as resulting to insult, if further irritation is added to the anger, physical combat becomes inevitable.
But all that changed as I grew older. Anytime I feel anger now, I always try to be in control of my emotion. The only thing I can do in such moment as anger management strategy is to keep quiet and not say a thing, or quietly work away from the scene, so that I don't get flared up and overreact to the situation.

I cannot manage my anger. I am a person who do not have enough patience for it. I react when i want to react and that is me, I don't ever do a cover up. Sometimes it is a big mistake when I react instantly but sometimes when I am reacting, it influence someone to be true to themselves. I am more of  pusher than an inspiration on some. I really want to have an anger managing process. I know some people who count one to ten before bursting to being mad and angry about something, unlike me that I instantly fume when something went wrong. I had control before but I think when my father died, I became emotional and depress and I cannot remove this kind of attitude anymore. I easy to get hurt and I became sensitive now. I just wish I can solve this issue.

Anger is one dangerous  thing that can destroy good thing in seconds and even make things worst beyond damage. It is a characteristics in every human which every individual must learn to master its control till minimum level. Because in 99% circumstances, it doesn't create it rather breaks.  There is a unique saying that " every angry man is at that moment a mad man". I think its the only saying that must have helped a lot oof people to master their emotion till date.

I've seen a lot of worst from anger, a angry man who beats his daughter to death, a angry wife who stabbed her husband 17 times, a angry man who strangled his wife and many more worst happenings from anger. And I trust we don't need to second guess the repercussions of anger because it all ends with regret.

So it is very important for every human to always reason that nothing good will come out of anger. And that is always my first thought when anger comes knocking on my emotions. Leave the scene and go to place to smile and laugh. Shake it off and stand on it.

Anger is one of the emotions experienced by human beings. It can be caused by being provoked or inability to accomplish something among others. I control my anger by calming down and affirming myself not every situation makes us happy and when sad times come, I need to be positive and focus on for a good day to come forth.

In my view, I tend to deal with my anger by walking around the house or outdoor. I need to distract myself to divert into something.

I'm slow to anger but once l got fed up that's it l will burst by answering back in one to two sentences. I will just say a few words to the certain person that l hate or rude to me as my outlet and that's it.

I manage my anger by first recognizing that I am angry, and then taking a few moments to pause and reflect on the situation. I try to focus on my breathing and find a positive way to approach the situation in order to come up with a constructive solution. I also try to remind myself that it's okay to feel angry, and that it doesn't have to take control of my emotions. Additionally, I find it helpful to talk to a trusted friend or family member about the situation in order to get a different perspective. Lastly, I like to practice mindfulness techniques, such as yoga and meditation, to help me relax and control my emotions.

Managing anger is essential for your mental and emotional well-being and for maintaining healthy relationships. Here are some strategies to help you manage anger effectively:

1. **Recognize Triggers**: Identify the situations, people, or circumstances that trigger your anger. Understanding your triggers is the first step in managing anger.

2. **Take a Time-Out**: When you feel anger rising, take a break from the situation. Step away, go for a short walk, or find a quiet space to calm down.

3. **Deep Breathing**: Practice deep breathing exercises. Inhale deeply through your nose for a count of four, hold for four, and then exhale for a count of four. Deep breathing can help relax your body and mind.

4. **Use "I" Statements**: Express your feelings using "I" statements, such as "I feel frustrated when..." This helps you communicate your emotions without blaming others.

5. **Cognitive Restructuring**: Challenge and reframe negative thoughts that fuel your anger. Replace irrational or exaggerated thoughts with more balanced ones.

6. **Visualization**: Imagine a peaceful or calming scene when you feel angry. Visualization can help you relax and shift your focus away from anger.

7. **Progressive Muscle Relaxation**: Tense and release different muscle groups to release physical tension. This can help reduce anger and stress.

8. **Mindfulness and Meditation**: Practice mindfulness techniques to stay in the present moment and observe your emotions without judgment. Meditation can help you develop better emotional control.

9. **Physical Activity**: Engage in regular physical exercise to release built-up tension and reduce anger. Activities like jogging, swimming, or yoga can be effective.

10. **Journaling**: Write down your thoughts and feelings when you're angry. Journaling can help you process your emotions and gain clarity on what's causing your anger.

11. **Seek Support**: Talk to a trusted friend, family member, or therapist about your anger. Sharing your feelings can provide relief and alternative perspectives.

12. **Conflict Resolution Skills**: Learn and practice conflict resolution techniques, such as active listening and assertive communication. These skills can help you address issues calmly and constructively.

13. **Set Boundaries**: Establish personal boundaries and communicate them to others. Clearly defining your limits can prevent situations that trigger anger.

14. **Anger Management Programs**: Consider enrolling in an anger management program or therapy to learn specific strategies for managing anger effectively.

15. **Time Management**: Improve your time management skills to reduce stress and frustration. Feeling overwhelmed can contribute to anger.

It's important to remember that anger is a natural emotion, and it's not necessarily a bad thing. It's how you express and manage your anger that makes a difference. Developing healthy anger management techniques can lead to better relationships, improved emotional well-being, and reduced stress.
