How do you vent your anger? - Best ways to un-rustle your jammies

[QB 290]

I find kickboxing is a good way to let off steam, especially when it keeps you in shape too.

What about everyone else?

Self-reflection does wonders to get over most basic shit, also alcohol and voice chatting.

I go to Cher's Twitter page and tell her that she has the writing coherency of a 90 year-old with three fingers and a meth addiction.

Serious reply : exercise
KF tier shit posting : abuse women verbally on twitter till they cut themselves and then I just get a boner and feel rad.

By not feeling anger in the first place.

By being a cunt. It's healthy.

Violent vidya and heavy metal work for me.

I fap.

I like to just go for a walk to nowhere in particular, just head off not really thinking about where I'll end up or how long I'll be gone. Going places you never go and just soaking in your surroundings is quite therapeutic.

 

[PsychoNerd054]

Just realizing you're being irrationally angry about stupid shit that doesn't matter always helps me.

Other times I like to take a 20-minute walk and self-reflect.

I used to have a real-talk/vent Twitter and it honestly didn't help. 100 people hearing your whine doesn't feel as good as a friend going "Oh".

Now I just queue my whine on Twitter several hours ahead, so I got a few times to open Tweetdeck to consider it and eventually delete it. Like gagging myself prematurely; pretty effective.

I rarely get angry, I mainly do when I have a fight or argument with one of my sisters or my SO. When I do, I listen to some music on my headphones or go to a walk.

 

[RG 448]

I beat the shit out of my punching bag.

 

[Nazi vegeta]

I turn super sayan.

 

[FierceBrosnan]

In general I take out my hate on the weights. But sometimes depending on what I'm working on anger becomes a tool. I'll try things I normally wouldn't when I'm calm, the fear of failure gets replaced with "fuck you you're going to work because you don't get a choice", and when I'm working with my hands and exhausted anger wipes out the pain and brings new focus.

The downside is that post rage depression. Anyone else get that?

At times, I think it's because so much emotion was focused you burn everything and dip to a low.

Yes. I try to avoid getting unreasonably angry about things in the first place, but when it happens I really don't have any good way to vent it. It just kinda turns into a little ball of rage, then after a short time I generally feel depressed. It's something I've had to work on my whole life, because I was a psychotically angry little kid.

If I can catch it as it happens, self reflection on why I'm angry helps. But if I just let myself get pissed, it's too late for that. Then I just have to try to decompress and stop myself from raging out even more.

From what I've read, things like punching pillows, screaming, etc only condition you to act out when you're angry, so they make you less in control of it. Of course it's still better than hitting a person.
