I just used some rightous anger to rip someone a new one. productive? perhaps. I tend to bottle the anger and release it in controlled explosions if you will.
Inspired by the pissed off thread, I ask you, how do you deal with, handle, use your anger?
Smoke a blunt.
I tend to hold it in and use it later to drive people to a near suicidal state. but that's just me.
BTW M get back on Aim damnit, I need to tell you about the bumper sticker we got from rachels grandmother.
Serenity now.
Ahem. Actually, I try not to let things bother me. I avoid and ignore things I don't like. When you can't avoid it you just need to put it into perspective and deal with it. :)
In a collected way. Methodically.
There are maybe three people who know me who can remember the last time I truly lost it in a rage filled tantrum, so its kind of nice being known as the dude who never flips out.
Cause when you do, everybody knows its over somthing huge.
I tend to avoid things that make me angry now, the main factor would be happenings at work in a retail environment. Sometime around this past May, I had an awakening and realized that I could save myself alot of trouble by not letting people bother me (basically a mix of I don't care attitude with the old "let me get a manager for you" action - I dont get paid to deal with customer complaints, so screw it). I dont know why it took me so long to learn and realize how to not let people bother you, b/c for about 2 and a half years at that job I had no defenses against it. Now shit just bounces off me left and right, people have to reallly really try to piss me off and hardly anyone puts up the effort. I also think its how I carry myself now, its more of a "I don't really care, but if you make me care you'll live to regret it" manner. No one fucks with me thesedays. :)
But as far as other anger goes, I tend to be calm about it, there's no point in using physical force to unleash anger anymore, I used to have those tendencies and urges. But its more mental deflection these days.
I usually just load up the AK and then drive to Echo Park and gun down some Mexicans.
Um. Wait, no. No, I usually just dissipate my anger.
I usually keep it inside.
But then the anger manifests itself in completely different ways. Its not usually good either.
Medititate. But not in that pansy little flowers and rainbows and harmony way. I like to contemplate grand ammounts of pain being delt by my hand. Usually envisioning the person causing the anger with thier face into a glass window kneeing them in the back of the head till the window breaks.
In the end, my anger subsides, and no one got hurt. Yay.
Most of the time, I'll just pop in a good fighting game and unleash my fury onto hapless computer opponents. Either that, or I'll just go for a long drive with loud music, that usually does the trick.
If I'm really pissed, I'll find someplace quiet and do a combination of meditation and breathing excercises.
