Anyone know how too get rid of anger? I've tried gaming, riding my bike and such, but doesn't seem too work. suggestions anyone?
 
Break all chairs in your house. If there are not enough chairs, look for other objects, like books. Destroy them all.
 
good idea taviow. might try that now. keep the suggestion's coming guys!
 
Exercise is scientifically known to be the best way to ditch stress.

Personally, I like to jump on my motorbike when i'm pissed. Great way to let go of everything.

Within reason of course. Don't get behind the wheel when you're flaming mad, wait it out a bit. Road rage is the worst.
 
I dont get angry. Thats the best way to be rid of it.
 
He must not be human or something. WHAT ARE YOU KRYNN?

I used to be able to do it. Once I had finally learned how to meditate, and how to reach a state of infinite relaxation, i'd kick into it as soon as things started getting stressful.

It works, but not forever. Stress got the better of me and i've lost the ability.
 
Yes, shooting stuff can generally get rid of anger, unless you're a terrible marksman, and I do not suggest getting angry around firearms

Precisely. That's how I live basically stress free. Very few things are worth getting angry about; the best thing to do is always react accordingly. Like when I lost my job, less than an hour later I was on the phone looking for a new job.

Some examples . . .
If someone steals $20 from me, I won't waste any time being angry about it. If I know who did it, I'll kick them in the balls, stay away from them, and try to avoid leaving money where people can steal it.

If your girlfriend cheats on you, break up, you're better off with someone else. Also learn to avoid girls like that.

If a business screws you over & don't correct the situation, tell all your friends to not do business with them.

Sure, becoming angry and stressed is easy and the natural reaction, but it's so much better to just react and move on. So, yea, that's my super-human secret to not being stressed.

Ive somehow grown to just not care. I guess it came from when I decided to just live by my "f*ck it" philosphy.

Ah yes, I remember when I thought it was cool to pretend that I didn't care about anything.

It doesn't work.

Then I truly feel bad for you.

To lose an entire tone of emotion, it must be terrible.

pretty much the only thing im able to get flat out angry at is my computer. When I feel anger it's generally because of something that I feel powerless against. I don't find it fun.. sure, a good ol' bout of anger once in a while can help sort things, or even feel good, but I feel that a general absense of anger helps my day-to-day life.
 
Yeah I don't get angry a lot unless it's at my computer. People can just piss off, I have no quarrel with them if they're being retarded.
 
If you're angry you better find a way to somehow let it out, don't bottle it inside. And monks are rare to come by, so...
 
No, bottle it inside like you would a really tasty fart. Then lash out at someone, preferably someone close to your heart.

Real men do.
 
emotion is key. emotion is what makes drives humans to keep going. not to give up. sure emotion causes us to do some pretty retarded things, but at the same time it's what makes us advance. i'd hate it if the worlds best minds used the "**** it" philosophy when they couldn't get an equation working, or if doctors said "**** it" when they couldn't solve a medical issue or couldn't come up with an antidote for something.

people who have that sort of mentality are the weak ones.
 
Krynn could you just explain how you just grew out of caring? did you do anything special too get there? i read you're '**** it' post i tried saying '**** it' in my head. but it didn't seem too work, is there something else too it?

Exactly.
 
Tbh, punching walls is insanely satisfying.

Oh dude, i'm going to buy a 5x2 piece of drywall, mount it in a wooden frame, box it up so that all the debris is contained, and then punch the shit out of it when I get pissed.

:D
 
Punch stuff. Goosfraba 'n shit.

Alternatively, just focus the anger in some part of your body, like your voice. Build it up, yell, and let it go.

Exercise is the best, to be honest.

How're you dealing with the excessive thinking btw.

Idunno, maybe im easily convinced to not care. Any time I realize that im starting to get flustered or angry, I just kind of pull myself out of the situation mentally, and once I do that it becomes easy for me to just not give a damn anymore. Sometimes it helps if I just imagine I was just some random bystander who is just observing the situation. That person would probably see me as overreacting and making a big stink over nothing.

For example, I know some people who get really pissed off at drivers here (i live in orlando, so its understandable), but when im riding with them, and they get pissed off at some asshole who just cut them off, and start screaming at them... Im just like "whoa... chill out." A lot of things people get angry over are really just trivial in the grand scheme of things, and I simply stopped letting that happen to me.

I guess its all really your mindset. If you just say "**** it" without actually stepping out of the situation and being in a frame of mind where that would work... then it wont. Once you start looking at things from the "this is stupid and trivial" perspective, its a lot easier to make yourself let it go.

Im no psychologist, and I dont really know if that sort of thing is simply unique to me, or if its applicable to others, but hopefully its helpful to you in some way.

Im not talking about apathy. Im talking about letting things go if they get you angry or irritated. I still have high ambitions and expectations of myself, and if I want to do something, then I will work at it until its done. Ive never quit anything in my life, and have always seen things through to the end (relationships, education, work etc). But none of that has to do with anger. Anger isnt what helps the doctor come up with a medicine, determination and diligence does. When I get frustrated that I cant solve a problem, I dont say "**** it" to the problem, I say "**** it" to the frustration. Getting frustrated and angry has never helped me out in any situation, and in fact just make things worse for me, so why bother letting those emotions get in the way of my progress?
 
Ah, Thanks a load Krynn. good read. Most of the things i get angry at are pretty stupid... most of the time. but will again try your approach too things.

I've been trying to force myself to stop thinking about things so much, and just going with the flow.

Seems to help.

Being around certain people helps too. Some people are just really pleasant to be around, and just help you to unwind.

You should have said that earlier. Just saying "oh yeah I just **** it all" makes it sound like you're an emotionless burnout who really just doesn't give a flying beanstick anymore.
 
Yeah, I should have clarified (which I did even more so in my edit of that post). I talked about this in another thread, and I guess I just assumed people would remember what I meant when I said "my '**** it' philosophy." Which I shouldnt have since not everyone would have read it.

Ah well, hopefully its clear now.
 
I want a quiet life in the hills, with my wife and my two children. I want to work the fields in the day, come to dinner at night, and make love to my wife after we've read bed time stories to the kids.

My ambitions in life are modest ones.
