If I'm REALLY pissed off I'll just sit up in my bed and listen to music putting my headphones as loud as my ears can take it at the time for maybe a couple of hours. I listen to any style of chilled/ambient electronic music, usually Liquid Dubstep, sometimes Drumstep or DnB. It's kind of weird trying to explain it but for liquid dubstep/chillstep in particular the slow movements in the bass makes it almost feel like the music is massaging my brain. This is my favourite song for that reason. If anyone tries to interrupt in that mood, they'll lose something dear to them

If I'm just a bit annoyed at something, I'll probably just bottle it up until I'm alone and do some exercise

Punch table, get up pace around, sit back down and start all over again.

I work out usually, heavy weights and 1 armed push ups usually do the job..

Or I just slam my hand into the wall, you decide

I just suppress the anger until it fades. By far the most superior method for dealing with anger since once you've been doing it for long enough you actually don't get mad at the things you would have before. This should be ranked as a top ten life trick because I think it can greatly improve the quality of life for a lot of people.

Venting is a serious discussion in psychology. What has been found so far is that venting with any sort of violence (even by yourself on a pillow etc) is bad, but listen to music/play instrument and any non violence act is ok.

Training (like lifting) is in the grey area, but many believe it has a good effect.

Source? I beat the shit out of my pillow after playing PvT.

Drumming! blast beats, fast double bass, power beats, anything solid that requires a lot of force.

I'm also a boxer and hitting the bag really helps.

I also play rugby which means I get to smash people free of charge.

Another thing I like to do is go for a long walk with some mean music playing, going for a run is even better actually.

And another really good one, which people over look, is simply screaming, put your head into a pillow, and just let it rip. Seriously, it works a treat. If you can get away with screaming out aloud, even better.

Hope this helps.

I grab one of those plastic party tables, something like this:

Set it up in the backyard with some chairs and a nice table cloth.

Then I flip that bitch. (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻

And then do some exercises, maybe some pushups and sit-ups.
True story. I sound like I'm trolling but I actually flip stuff (chairs, light tables, to a reasonable degree) and just exercise to vent off.

TBH I fap till I can't go anymore. Best thing is that I don't even hurt myself.
Cheers!

I laugh it off until I feel like its too much...
Then it's off to drinking or if the angers against someone..
I go apeshit and just get physical.. if they push me that far
Otherwise.. I laugh it off.. laughing is healthy?

don't get angry in the first place.

Most stuff that makes you angry isn't worth it anyway because you either cannot change it or it isn't really that important. But if there is something i have to deal with i think about the situation and make my mind up what i'm gonna do the next time situation x occurs or how to solve the problem that i have.

The only time i get kinda angry is if iam not able to do something i want to do (beat a stage in a game etc.) - but it's not really anger rather frustration about my own disability. But then i just drop it because it is not important and practice untill i can get it right.

Throw stuff. Once you break something you realize that anger is REALLY just a matter of short moments. If you destroy something (a headset/mouse or just random stuff like plates, glasses etc etc) you quickly realize that your anger meant less than w/e you just destroyed.

But just doing physical stuff works for me. Throwing, yelling, punching stuff... Oh, and cheesing on ladder like a mo-fo

StarCraft II. Relieving stress is the point of having a hobby, isn't it? I also play in guitar a band and write a little bit, but those are double-edged swords, since they are often quite stressful themselves, whereas Starcraft is never stressful since I only look at it as a game.

Go for a long run, with some heavy bass music. Go for the Forest Gump style and just run til everything hurts. I suppose its kinda like cutting yourself, only less bloody. And unless your'e a marathon-runner.

When you say you feel better after Lucas (idk his name) stabs the doctor whilst screaming, it's like you're venting your anger through his. That's awesome.

I'm not often upset. If I am though I do work. I'm tame.

Writing everything down that was frustrating me helps. Usually it's over trivial things so that shows how silly it was to get mad in the first place. If the reasons were viable, I figure out how to fix it.

I'm all for music when I'm upset. 'Shoot me again' or 'St. Anger' are my favorite songs to rage to.

I pop in FF9 and play through it again with rainy mood in the back ground, and toss back a few beers. It makes me a happy panda. Even the soundtrack is awesome. Esto-gaza sacred grounds + rainymood for the win ^__^;; But i grew up loving that game and always played through it when i was going through shit so i cant guarantee its success with anyone else

Woah man. What are the odds. I LOVE FF9 -- it's my favourite game of all time, an amazing soundtrack too. It's so weird you should say that cos' I feel exactly the same way. I'm 23 years old but have been starting up new games/playthroughs every year since I was 12.

*edit* Also when I get angry it never really lasts long enough for me to take steps on reducing it. It seems to come and go pretty quickly and before long I'm back to normal.
