Damaramu 0 Report post Posted March 28, 2005 Ok so very recently my mother told me that I have anger managment issues. She told me that I have a very short fuse and I lose my temper too easily. I've been told this by other people before. I've been told that I should be careful because I could hurt someone. I'm 6'4" and weigh 250 pounds. I'm bigger than most people and I haven't lost it physically yet though. Well actually about a year and a half ago I beat my brother so bad he went to the hospital. And it was over something stupid. I've been told by several people to seek out an anger managment course. Is this a good idea or a bad idea? I mean will it really help? Or will it turn me into a neutered wuss that can't get angry at anything and let's people walk all over him? I don't like to take shit off of anyone and I have a feeling if I were to take a course like this that I would end up becoming a doormat. Anyone ever had similar issues?

The Amazing Rando 0 Report post Posted March 28, 2005 I'm a tiny little fucker with a short fuse. It get it from both my parents really. I have been told to seek anger management, but I have since calmed down alot. Most of it had to do with my maturity level and my stress level. Once I got the first one up and the second one down, I was fine. I still sometimes get close to going over the edge, but do my best to hold off until I can get someplace private to vent. I'm not saying you aren't mature, or whathaveyou, but stress is a big factor in it. If that is high in your life you might want to try and tone it down as best you can. It can help out alot if you do, even if it isn't the key to the anger, it can still affect it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

2GOLD 0 Report post Posted March 28, 2005 Sometimes they help, sometimes it just turns out to be cosmetic. The key is do you want to get control of your anger? And having control of anger doesn't lead you to being a coward, it leads to you not killing or hurting anyone over something petty and stupid. I have great anger control but it doesn't mean people will walk all over me. Just helps you find a balance. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Damaramu 0 Report post Posted March 28, 2005 Ok well let me describe some more anger things about me so you guys can really see how short fused and messed up on the anger I am. My brother had a concussion at the time of the fight from falling off of somewhere high. He pissed me off because he took the remote control away when I was watching sportscenter and I really wanted to watch it and he started changing the channel. I stood up and told him to give it back and he threw it at me. I tackled him on the tile floor. Put my knee in his chest and started punching him in the head until he passed out and was bleeding. Then I realized what I'd done and started to freak a little. I have chronic road rage. I yell at people for the tiniest infraction on the road. I can't stand to be asked to repeat myself. And rather than just do it I usually end up saying it sounding very pissed off. If I'm asked a question I don't want to be asked or a question that annoys me I usually snap at the person or am just plain rude about it. And most of the time I end up going off on angry rants about nothing and it usually comes from nowhere and I'm yelling and red in the face by the end of it. I do have a ton of stress in my life. I have two jobs and I go to school and I still never have any money. I need like an outlet for my stress. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Amazing Rando 0 Report post Posted March 28, 2005 Shouldn't your outlet be bashing people on the field? And if not, shouldn't it be this lovely place? and if not, then maybe you should buy a few stress balls. Or meditate or something. Listen to Solitudes and light incense. There are lots of ways to relieve stress, you just gotta find what works for you. Acupuncture apparently works. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest MikeSC Report post Posted March 28, 2005 At what line does "anger" cross over to "being a dick"? Sorry, Dama, but your behavior just sounds like being a total jackass. -=Mike Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Damaramu 0 Report post Posted March 28, 2005 Yeah I've thought about just being a plain jackass too. But I've never seen a jackass as full of anger as me. Maybe I'm an angry jackass? I mean people on this board have seen how bad my temper is. I have a feeling though that if I could control my stress and anger then I wouldn't be such a jackass. Because when I'm not angry and in a good mood people have described me as the nicest and sweetest person they know. It's just when I get angry and stressed out I turn into this monster asshole.

Golgo 13 0 Report post Posted March 28, 2005 A) Count to 10 and walk out of the room when you get pissed. B) Take it out on a punching bag for a few hours or exhaust yourself running or bike riding whenever you feel stressed. There. I just solved your problem and it didn't cost a hundred bucks.

Ripper 0 Report post Posted March 28, 2005 I just think you need to have the shit kicked out of you... preferably by a smaller person. Its not anger. Its a superiority thing. you think "Wow...I am big. I can be a dick with no reprecussions." If someone cracks you in the knee with pool ball wrapped in a tshirt and proceeds to beat the shit out of you one time, you will take pause next time you decide to get all "angry" on someone because you will remember the ass kicking. People who feel invincible are usually dicks. I do have a ton of stress in my life. I have two jobs and I go to school and I still never have any money. I need like an outlet for my stress. If I hear one more goddamned college kid calling going to school and those fake ass "jobs" stress I swear to god. Dude, "If I don't make money to pay rent I am homeless" is fucking stress. Not "If I don't make any money, I can't buy beer or might have to ask mom and dad for money." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ripper 0 Report post Posted March 28, 2005 People who feel invincible are usually dicks. Spoken like a true short dude. But you know I am right. Tall, skinney dudes...they don't have anger management problems. Its short guys that work out all the time, those fuckers that are trained in some martial art "Dude, i can crush your windpipe was a knee strike in a second" and Tall, heavy guys. Like, MMA fighters don't have that sense of invincibility, because they know what its like to get beat everyonce and a while. I bet you Damaruaruaau has never had a good ass kicking in his life. Godamn OK. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Godamn OK. Actually......you're wrong. I don't think I'm invincible. I try to avoid fights most of the time b/c I'm not that confident in my ability. Also I've had my ass kicked many a time. There was this kid next door who used to hand it to me on a daily basis. And then I've had my ass kicked by my dad before(when i was 19). So yeah you're pretty wrong on that issue. It's not a superiority thing. It's a "god damn I'm pissed to easily" thing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Agent of Oblivion Report post Posted March 28, 2005 I've only gotten my ass kicked twice, and both times were by my dad while I was in my teens. I started both fights. To be fair, I laid him out flat-backed in our third and final bout; a fight I also started during that exhausting time of my life. I won't bother fighting anymore unless it's a drunken donnybrook between friends. I really doubt I get in a legitimate fight again the rest of my life, but if I do, I'm shootin' the motherfucker. Screw getting bloodied up or possibly stabbed or whatever. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I usually just start to yell and turn red. The thing with my brother was just that it all exploded at once. That was the only time I've ever attacked anyone like that. So no I'm not this big guy running around whipping the shit out of littler guys. As a matter of fact all the real fights I've been in were with people my size or bigger.
