do you throw dishes if you decide to do something? lol

Depends upon why I chose to get angry. If it is important...talk with them about it and work it out.

Nope but I can usually get my point across. I don't throw things that would be giving the other person control something I absolutely refuse to give them that satistaction.

I tend to maintain positive thoughts.
Why give anyone the satisfaction of knowing
that they've made me mad?

Express it . . . immediately. It took years of therapy, but with it I learned to cry again (which I hadn't done since I was five). No matter how mad, I'll be totally over it in 15 minutes if one can wait for me to blow it off now. No reminders later - I don't do that.

I clean like a mad woman and once I'm calm I talk to them...

When I can I like to go to the shooting rang and unload oh I don't know 100 200 rounds.

I do that, except for the "woman" part.

Give them the silent treatment, and then get over it in like 15 to 20 minutes. I never stay mad long.

I do that, too, except for the range ("range" means "backyard" in Arkansas!).

Gotta love that in a woman.

Dang, gotta love that in anyone!

I Read one of my self help books I used to do this. but not having a man now its cool though.
Nice posty hon!Hello koolaid.

Depends how mad I am.
If I'm REALLY mad, I'll start crying.
Usually I'll throw sh!t against a wall, or kick a door. Or take a really long drive, cursing off everyone.

Thanx, its always nice to see you KoolAid

Depends on how mad, and why for...........

Just a little upset, nothing, angry, tell them, if not heard, throw something at them or smack 'em in the head so that maybe when I repeat myself I've jiggled their brain into listening mode.

If I'm pissed...........as in on the verge of running you over with my car...........I will probably seclude myself and cry until I've calmed down and thought the situation through.......then talk about it......that is if there is anything left to talk about.

put some miles on the car and leave cell phone at home.

Depends on the person, the situation, the time in my life, what I have to gain or lose, and what it triggers in me.

Walk away because I am highly destructive when I am set off.
I have put my fist through a wall before because an ex GF pushing my buttons with a sledge hammer and tried to hen peck me for some seriously BULL reasons. I wanted to send her head for a field goal separated from her body. Needless to say it was over the moment she got me to act and I told her to her face pulling my hand from the hole I left to take a hike and never returned her phone calls after that. I have never raised a hand ever to any of my GFS and if they provoke me to the point of violence I end the relationship right there and then. That is a sure fire sign of problems on the horizon. A good relationship should have no provocation in it.
It is one thing to have a disagreement and argue. After the emotions are spent an accord can be reached and the problem addressed.
It is wholly another to get into a dragon's face and intentionally provoke it.
I and many others have no room in our lives for that brand of bogusness!

Andy....very interesting. Breathe in and out when you get mad and then say.... why am I allowing someone else to control me?

Not saying I haven't wanted to shake people until their teeth fall out, just surprised you're being so honest about it. Honestly always shocks me...

We're all human.

Yep! Me too, I go a cleaning frenzy, even if it doesn't need to be cleaned, it gets cleaned!
