Anger

[Wayne Goodwin]

Every one has Anger from time to time .

How do you handle Anger ?

[Wayne Goodwin]

Mostly i just Clam up . That used to piss off my X big time . I don't like having to confront anyone so i keep to myself . I was at a fish camp once with my in laws . Deloris my X's sister was married to Ronnie . She got pissed and picked up the salt and pepper shakers and threw then at him and hit the wall shattering them . She certainly couldn't handle anger especially in Public .....

It takes a lot to make me mad.  Usually I just consider the source. If I do get mad I get in my car and go for a drive.  I might say a few bad words but thats about it.

My house gets a good cleaning. My weeds get pulled and the yard looks much better after I take it out on it. I have a theory  about anger. It's a lot like gasoline. You can set it on fire and watch it burn out of control or put it in a car and go around the world a few times. Til you run out of gas!

If it's directed at a particular person, as opposed to a general situation, I wait til I calm down, and then if it's still a big deal to me, I'll bring it up when I'm in a more rational state of mind.  By that time, though, I'm usually just willing to forget about it and move on.   If it's a general situation, depending on whether I'm alone or in a public site, I may do a litany of curses, lol!  I.E. - only if I'm alone!  It is a rare, rare, situation where I get so incensed about something that I feel compelled to speak my mind or curse at someone.  Happened once that I can think of with my ex-husband and once with my ex-boyfriend.  If someone can get to me to that extent, I pretty much decide I don't need to be around them.

It takes a lot to get me mad, I go on a cleaning frenzy and while I'm cleaning I calm down.

I don't get angry often.  Things that anger others don't anger me.  BUT, when I am angry, I "discuss" the reason with the cause.  Then I can move on.  If I let it fester, I actually get physical symptoms. The trouble is that sometimes the other person can't move on after a discussion.

well i don't get pissed all that much .. i can tease and be teased and it don't get to me .. you can disagree with me or root for the other team .. no problem .. i pretty much keep my cool most of the time .. it takes a lot to really piss me off .. when i was younger i was a bit more competitive so i might have gotten heated a little quicker but even then , not all that much .. unless of course you put your hands on me and tried to do me harm .. then there could be a problem .. but even then i'd try to reason with you .. ask you are you sure you wanna do this ?? if you said yes all bets were off .. but i don't like myself if i get that way .. luckily that hasn't happened in quite a long time .. lets hope it stays that way ..
