Anger

Same here man I have no control it’s tough I freak on everyone around me no matter who it is when I’m angry and it always gets me into a lot of trouble. I try to keep calm and count to 10 but it never works. Can’t help ya but I’m following for others advice to come as well
 
I'm hoping to see some good answers here, too often I have reacted inappropriately and felt like an idiot after. Best advice I ever received and can give now is to recognize the signs in yourself that a "snap" is coming as early as possible and shut it down. Easy to say cause the triggering shit seems to happen at light speed. Hindsight is 20/20 as the saying goes.
 
I was the “angry guy” most of my adult life. I was mostly single or short-term relationships until I was almost 40. Then I met my wife. She made me realize that my anger wasn’t normal, and I didn’t want to lose this one. I went to weekly Anger Management and PTSD psychotherapy. It has changed me for the better, but what works for me might not work for you. We all have our own triggers, ways we react, and coping mechanisms. If it’s bad enough that it’s disrupting your life the best advice I can give is to sit down with an Anger Management counselor for a few sessions and help you work out a strategy to cope.
 
I used to be angry all the time. Well a few years ago I wanted to run tren, buddy told me it would make me agressive, so I decided not to sweat the little stuff. I mean really why get mad about something that means nothing.
So once I stopped that I found I wasn’t angry all the time. The build up in my head of all the little things was why I was angry, I was at a boiling point all the time. Once I stopped worrying then there was no build up, no real anger.

It’s too bad my friend didnt tell me that tren makes you stupidly horney
 
In all honesty I’m pretty much always on edge.
It’s just who I am. I’m good at letting things go and I’ve learned how to cage it, but once in a while it comes out.
I make damn sure I’m justified when it does happen.
Last guy I got ahold of was trying to steal my truck.
I’m willing to bet money if that didn’t teach him a lesson, nothing will.

My temper has got me in a shit ton of trouble in my life, my wife and kids give me reasons to keep my cool..
My wife is awesome and can talk me down fast. But when she gives me the green light, I go for it!
 
I smoked pot for 5 years straight. ever since I stopped I have had a short fuse.lol. I get my temper from my dad 100%.. I wouldnt mind finding some ideas to calm down
 
I don't get angry. I have been hit, kicked, spit on, dodged excrement and have had so many different things thrown at me that my temper is quite controlled. Getting angry in those circumstances is counter-productive.
 
It's mostly driving related for me. I hate when people go under the speed limit for no reason, slow down almost to a stop to turn but don't signal or hog the left (passing) lane. I usually just have to pass whatever moron driver is setting me off and leave them in the dust and then I feel much better. :)
 
I am a very calm but assertive person. My irish/Newfie blood makes me scrappy by nature but it takes a tooooooon to make me lose my temper....but when i do!

Also, as i have gotten older i definitely have gotten mellower. I find myself asking "is it worth it" before i comment or respond to someone being ridiculous. The one thing i do have to work on is that i forgive but i tend not to forget.
 
I’m normally a calm and sort of reserved person, but when I “snap” I’ve done things I’ve regretted and not proud off.
Road rage is probably my worst trigger
I now try to always say to myself “is this really worth it” before I act but sometimes it’s difficult to do!

I’m with you and @Beothuk on the driving anger lol. The worst is following someone so slow and when a passing lane comes up they kick er the fuck down and you have to speed in total excess to get the fuck by. See I’m angry just thinking about it. Always flip these people off. I always said if I was a cop I’d target those types of drivers as they are the cause for most of the issues on the road, the overly cautious arseholes
 
Lol, move to my city then. You will completely lose it. Someone pulls a uturn at a set of lights and gives you the finger for not waiting until they did it, lol.
I remember when I first moved here and had Alberta plates on, on the 401 main highway, the Quebec plated cars would drive up my ass in the slow lane, then cut me off really bad pulling back in. I’d be speeding so that wasn’t the issue.

Oh man yeah I hear you, no thanks I’ll stick to my small hick town lol. I freak when I go to Toronto or any major city for that matter. The old lady laughs and takes over driving as she’s from a huge city so she don’t mind. Remember being in Toronto a few weeks back I was crossing the road off of spidina walking across an intersection and a taxi was laying the horn as I walked by. I stopped and death stared that fuck face and almost dragged him out of car but old lady kept me calm lol. That’s how I handle big city traffic and shit, no thanks!
 
Its kinda funny. Im always short temper untill it comes to a fight or confrontation that may result in a scrap. I calm myself down to the point where everything is in slow motion. When someone starts swinging at me i almost feel sorry for them its so easy
