ok so some of you may have looked at my thread about how me and my friend got in a fight and stuff.
well ever since ive just been pissed and mad a everyone and people are starting to notice and start lecturing me about stuff and now im getting even more pissed.
i dont know about anyone else but for me when people tell me how i need to stop being so angry it gets me even more angry and really hate being mean to everyone.
its been like this for almost a week, so what can i do to just calm down already and stop flipping out on everyone. i already broke my phone today. (doesnt matter i get paid in like 2 days)
It depends if im upset or angry but mostly listening to music or just going to my room. Once i was really angry with my brother and i got a peice of paper wrote down exatly why i was "issed" and then ripped it up and i felt better i havent done it since but it seemed to calm be down.
If it's another person, I just remind myself of what they'll be going through if the trend continues.
If it's a situation or object, I just get over it.
Seems to be a bit of both for you, and I really have had no such experience as you have as my friends don't wanna mess with a Sasquatch; but what I would probably do is play down what happened, give yourself rational explanations for why he acted irrationally, and wait.
Time has always fixed the problems I've had with people, all of our arguments just look stupid now; but of course I've only had one person come at me with a weapon, and he definitely wasn't a friend.
I just take a gun off a rack in my basement and go in my backyard and fire off a couple hundred rounds.
Lucky... I can't even shoot varmints with a .22 in my backyard! Even a pellet gun upsets my neighbors.
I usually listen to music and lie on my bed and relax. Usually very soft music like songs like Under the Bridge can calm me down. Sometimes I listen to depressing songs like Hourglass by Lamb of God
If I'm really mad I just put a gun to my head and pull the trigger. I keed, I keed, but I've thought about it before when there are days where everyone is being a b*tch. I have a lot of days like that.
In the long run, the catharsis hypothesis doesn't really calm you down... IE taking your anger out on people/things just creates more anger.
I play my guitar, read, or go drive (unless I'm so pissed that driving might be dangerous). Sometimes I'll watch a movie, but that doesn't always distract me enough.
Oh, and I second Commander's post: excercise almost always works. But sometimes I'm just too tired or lazy...
I like to hack crap with an ax. Of course, I haven't had an ax in years, so I just punch a wall. It hurts, and that calms me down (well, makes me go sit down questioning why I punched a wall in the first place).
