How do you guys manage your anger toward others?

I’ve realized one of my flaws is that I’m quick to anger. I don’t lash out by yelling or getting physical, but my words can get really sharp and hurtful even when I speak in a calm tone. Do you have any advice for me on how to work on this?

I keep in mind how little I regard the bulk of humanity and how unimportant what they say, think or do is to me.

@BittersweetPotato I don't understand what you mean by Healthy resentment?

I'm the last person to give you advice on this.

If I feel like something is completely unfair .... smh.

Try to pause before you .... explode or speak.

Words ... resonate more when you speak with .... thought.

Try to remember that it's a situation that can be fixed. And if it can't then it's completely out of your control. No use to stress about it.

Distance or exit the room when you know that it's going too far.

Consider that when you lash out you're allowing others to control you. Is it worth it? Anger can be a useful emotion at rare times, but most often isn't going to be useful. Choose your battles carefully and thoughtfully. Is whatever is annoying you worth getting upset about? Try to think before speaking. It takes practice to get good at it.

Just by not reacting to the situation the moment and act as if my thoughts were elsewhere. I would then think whether the situation requires any action and do the thing.
Reject any concepts and remember self control is power

@pentagrammom 💯

That's why I'm powerless.

There's usually a reason for my anger though.

We have to practice mindful conscious effort towards controlling our emotions/thoughts. It's not an easy task, 🫣 but can be mostly accomplished if we keep trying. Calming music/slow deep breathing exercises can help.

@pentagrammom I don't know what you are even referring to, but this is my own thing I'm working on. So stop trying to invalidate it.

I was blessed with the patience of a saint so my anger levels tend to not come to surface. All I can say from my perspective is remember all words carry meaning so be sure that if you say it, you can’t take it back. I think the guilt of upsetting others at the hand of my lack of control of emotions would eat me up.

If you can figure why you're angry it helps. Usually anger is just secondary to fear or guilt or other hard to deal with emotions. Sometimes telling people how they made you feel hurts them more than anger

Just pay attention and let it go by. Anger can be a great teacher on how to let go and stay in the moment.

People should simply stop interacting with you when you fly off the handle.

@Nanori a false idea used against humanity in conjunction with the artificial insanity technology has pushed into the human world

Like everything, I just stop and think about it for a few seconds.

I have borderline. I’m probably the best person to ask about anger
Im slow to anger but when i get there look out
I just tell anger to fuq off , it’s a waste of time and energy so if I’m gonna get angry then it may as well be directed at anger itself lol 🥴😎🥳

All anger presented in any of anger's forms, all have a basis of fear behind it which precedes the resulting emotion of anger.

Your question should not ask "How do you manage anger toward others?", but instead ask, how do you manage the source from which all of your fear arises?

When you get control of your fear, your emotion of anger or feeling pissed off about something will instantly disappear.
