Category: Getting to Know You
Hi. I'm just basically interested in what is your border when you get angry. Do little things make you angry already, or are you a person who doesn't get angry that much? Personally I think I'm a person who doesn't get angry that fast, but I can get angry, especially at myself.
Stupidity and manipulation make me very angry, as does people moaning about trivial events in their lives,as if they are insurmountable problems,but I become really angry when I'm asked for money by the 20th beggar in a row...I'm not supporting their habit....
Well, I get angry at people who are mean and hurtful to others, and tend to "stick up for the under dog," as my mom puts it, though I dont' really do this on purpose. I just hate to see good people walked on. I'm not trying to be a goody-goody but this is how I honestly feel. Other than this, I'm not very quick to get angry.
That's interesting. And did you ever get angry at yourselves? I did, very often, and this was really, really hard then.
Oh sure I do lol! Especially after Maths tests...
definately every saturday morning at 8am you wouldn't want to see that monster..smile...
yes as a small child and teenager, I was often angry at myself and the injustice of my condition, but eventually that became too exhausting and I realised how much time had been wasted by my complaining...
Lol go Goblin! Hehehehe.
I verry rarely get angry. I may yell at my computer when it decides to have an attitude of its own, but other than that, it is very rare that I get angry. Stupidity doesn't even anger me much, all you can do is laugh. You can't make a stupid person smarter by getting mad at them, so y bother?
Ya kC you never get angry on here at least, you just seem like a very amused person. i'm kidna like that too, if the situation warrants.
at 8am no its beyond me however a good dose of Frankenstein's electricity, might do the trick..
Electricity? What the heck? Now you really must be joking Goblin.
a good 150 while I'm stretched out on the rack gets the juices flowing though they do tend to get carried away...
You don't ... do you really hehehehehe. One time my VI teacher said when he was little he stuck a spoon in a wall socket and he flew up into the air! lol if it wasn't so dangerous I'd try it.
Oh yeah, I get angry at computers a lot. I know that. But I don't get angry very often, nly impatient sometimes.
Personally, I almost never get angry. I get frustrated and irritated and whiny and bitchy, but not really angry. It seems to me that one fundamental prerequisite for anger is that you feel justified. Basically, you have to feel that *you* are right, and whoever you're angry at is wrong, otherwise you wouldn't get angry. Now if you're like me and you're always wrong :-) (or at least you assume that whenever there is a confrontation of any kind, you're clearly in the wrong), you really don't have the grounds for getting angry. I suppose possible exceptions are being angry at yourself. In that case, you are basically addressing yourself and telling yourself how and what you did wrong, and you might feel justifies in beating up on yourself (figuratively, I hope :-)).
Oh, and the other possible exception I was going to mention, as some of you guys have said already, is getting mad at technology. Sometimes that stuff really does seem like it is purposefully trying to screw people over, and it's no wonder people get angry.
It's fun to get mad at a computer. I like to make faces at mine; when it's being good I grin at it sometimes and when it's being mean I like frown at it and punch it lightly or random thigns like that.
well as for me I don't get mad that often . Guess it is because I bottle everything up inside and when I get pissed off everything comes out all at once. like for example things that bothered me before come out and add to the things that bother me now. I do have a temper, but I don't show it that often mostly never, but when I do oh it scarey me because I didn't know that i coulde have this much anger, gurt or whatever it is inside me.
its very dangerous but exhilerating I did it as a child and there was no lasting damage.

I get frustrated alot. I get angry when people don't help other people, at stupid rules, at people who don't do their jobs because they're too lazy, at incompetent people who have a job when more qualified people weren't hired instead, at lies to those you're close to, and at intolerance (like prejudice, stereotypes, and being rude, and when people think they're 100% right about their religious doctrine). I guess I'm angry at a lot of things, but I try hard not to take it out on others.
Hey, I totally agree, 1800 trivia. These are the things that make me angry the most, too, beside myself.
i dont get angry very often cause its just not worth it. getting angry just exastrabates the situation even more.
I agree. But sometimes (earlier, not anymore) I got so angry at myself that I nearly hurt myself (hitting for eample). But now I'm cured of that.
It's extremely difficult to anger me, but on the rare occasions when my temper makes itself known, things can get scary rather quickly. X_X
It takes me a while to get totally angry. I can get pissed easily enough, I prefer not to show people though. Always been like that. I guess I'm better at holding it inside, I don't know . . .
I get irritated pretty easly, but it takes a hell of alot to get me angry. Once you get me angry though, you'll know it. <grin>
Holding it all inside is hard. Someday you'll burst ,that's what I always did.
No one can get me angry that easy. the only thing i get angry about is about trust issues. i hate being angry. its not my thing to shout at people when i'm anoyed. we could settle things in an orderly manner
my temper is legend around college. If I can't understand something or get stressed, I will get very very pissed. It got to the point where I threw a small side table across a room once, as well as repeated strikes to the top of my brailler which have dented it. I'm very unsociable at these times and figure it's jus best I stay away from people. I can get angry very rapidly.
Lol, once when I got angry at myself I hit a brailler against my head. Now I'm laughing about it and wonder why I did that.
I get angry very easily!!! I'll admit it!!! I hate it when people don't listen to me!!! When I feel that a person isn't giving me there whole attention, I fly off the handle!! When I find out that someone has broken my trust, I am never their friend anymore. If someone talks shit about me behind my back, I am always ready to give them the punch of their life!!! When someone gives me an attitude, I am always ready to give them one back!!! That's when they better run away!!! The more sarcasm I use, the faster they better run!!! I hate it when people display there ignorence by hating other races but there own!!! That's one thing that gets under my skin!!! Another thing is when people think that just because they and there parents are natives of a country, they are so much better and cleaner than us foreigners!!! People who judge others by their outside appearance get on my nerves!!! I am always ready to be friends with anyone no matter their skin color and to me, what makes you a good person is your inside qualities!!!
*sexy*
hmm. I guess with me, I'm kind of in between. depends on what the situation is. Like if someone's whispering while I'm talking, or playing with something, or not giving me their full attention, I get kind of annoyed. LOL. the other major thing that makes me mad is when I ask someone something like, "are you bored?" and they say, "No." in this, "I'm so bored!" Type of voice. it's like they're lying and it's annoying and that makes me mad also.
Yeah, sarcasm is really annoying to me. As for me, I don't think I get angry that quickly, but if I'm tired, I get annoyed when someone ries to play with me like teasing me and stuff. There were 3 taimes I can remember getting angfry for the smallest things, and I don't know why. One was when I was at an ARD meeting with my mom and several other people, and we were waiting for 1 of my teachers to get there. When the meeting was about to start without her, mom later told me my face looked really red "like I was going to explode", like I really wanted to say something but didn't feel I was getting a chance to talk. (I don't remember exactly what I had to say, but everyone else around me was talking, and I'm used to letting them finish before I talk, so I guess that's what got to me.) But when they saw how I looked, they thought it was because they were starting the meeting without my teacher, and they were partly right also. SO we did wait for her, which didn't take that long anyways. Another time was when there was a bee flying around in the classroom, and the rest of the class was getting all crazy about it in the middle of our lesson. Someone had asked the teacher what was wrong with me because I just sat there. I don't even know why that got to me. And the other time was when we had a meeting where they were talking about changing the school by separating it into different special programs, and most students and teachers didn't like it. But the lady answering our questions sounded like she didn't care, like when we told her of our concerns she had this "whatever" attitude. Just hearing how she was treating us made me so mad that I felt my whole body tingling. But I calmed down a few minutes after we were back in the classroom.

Aside from those 3 things, 2 other times, I do remember getting annoyed but I don't think it was as upset as those other 3 I explained about. And besides that, I don't think I'm normally easy to get angry.
Leilani
hmm, I get angry or a bit mad when someone annoys or teases me, wonder why; in the other hand, I totally agree with sexygurl86, what makes you a good person are your inside qualities... hmm, also I think I do have a lot of patience since one of my friends cannot even stand little kids lol, I rarely get angry at myself, except when my grades or going below 84... lol but the rest is fine, sometimes I wonder why I do or say so stupid things... ahwell i guess its since anger is a condition where the tongue works faster than the mind...
Michelle, I totally agree with your points you said where you get angry.
it takes allot to get me angry. I try to keep a posibive look on everything that goes down in my life. when i do get angry, i use music as my out let instead of those who are around me, i put some on and in an hour or so i am fine again. something that angers me, would be if someone disrespected me or my family in some way, and even then i would try to disarm it in a calm mannor. i grew up in a house where my dad was always angry, so i have tried hard in life to not repeat that.

I don't get angry much, but when I do I hold it all in.
I can get a bit annoyed kind of easily, but it's pretty rare that I get angr. However, when I get angry it's not pretty to say the least.
I don't really get angery very much.
It's really hard to get me angry, I'm usually quite easy going, especially if people meet me for the first time. But it's the people close to me who unknowingly find ways of winding me up, and once they do, they know about it. I'll either shout at them, or say something I'll later regret. More often, I'll tend to say something nasty, and apparently for the person it's in a way worse than if I'd hit them or used physical violence. The majority of times though, I'll get angry with myself for things I do, then I end up winding myself up so much I can't take it anymore. Also injustices of life anger me, such as people dying when they've got their whole life ahead of them, it's bad for anyone to die, but it's somehow worse when you hear about someone young dying, other things such as incurable illnesses, noone deserves that, and things I can't do anything about also make me angry.
totally agree with tazz about injustices of life. and I get angry with myself very easily and sometimes say real bad things to myself too. when I get angry with others for something they do I don't say a thing and act as if nothing happened. then when there are too many things together I feel I want to explode and say everything I feel whatever it is, but still don't do that and keep holding it inside

don't know why it posted it 3 times I only did it once...
I get frustrated by fools a lot, but I very very rarely loose it. In fact, I don't think I've ever lost it, not even when I caught one of my ex's in the middle of cheeting on me, I tend to punnish people in other ways than shouting and flailing my fists around, like, I'll just disappear and make them really really really worry and pannic! One time I did that, and the person concerned called the police out to search for me and everything! Serves her right!
I have only ever used violence against one person ever, and that was to protect those around me. I am trained in Judo to black belt, but I never use it, and have forgotten more than I ever knew probably. I guess in dangerous situations though, it'll come back when I need it.
I could never raise my hand to someone unless I or people around me were being threttoned. If I try to shout and get cross in a dramattic way, I just end up with a quivery top lip and end up crying! LOL!

I get angry at myself a lot but rarely at other people. I get hurt, irritated, upset, but not too angry unless it's something that cries "not fair!" I tend to criticize myself to death and thus get angry. In that case the best remedy is curling up in bed with a good book or a cup of tea or both. Try it sometime!
i get angry at others or when something does not go rite
Well for me it is depending on how I am feeling. I mean when I am basically in a good mood nothing really can get me angry. When I am in a bad mood ... well, that#s something else. Lolol.
I get angry with myself a lot. A whole lot. Mostly I just get really angry about political things. I get kind of snappish when people annoy me, but angry? Not really.
Depends on what it is. If I'm unhappy with something such as a change to something with my job, or a change in something that I don't agree with, when people continously do the same thing to agrivate me, when my transpirtation does not show, things like that. Also when people act like somethings my fault but it's not mine it's someone elses.
Troy
Yeah, I can understand that.
I don't get angry much or often. I always try to keep a cool head about things. But when and if I get angry, I really get angry. However, it takes a great deal to get me to that point.
Wow that's great I wish I could be like that!!!!!! But of course getting me angry depends on where I am and how the past few hours were.
i get angry when others don't understand me, and that's partly at myself for not making myself cleaer.
it depends on what it is.
Stupidity can make me very angry sometimes. I hate people who try to grab my arm and shove me in directions where they think i want to go with out even asking. those sorts of people bring my anger on themselves.
other than that i'm pretty tolerant. Really selfish people can also sometimes annyoy me because i don't like it when people can't seem to spare a thought for those around them.
I don't get angry at anyone unless I feel I am being mistreated bu someone. I'm a very patient person so therefore it takes alot to piss me off. I know sometimes I show my anger in a immature-like way and may take it over board in which most of yall have seen. I know there are alot of users on here that may not accept me for who I am and may not even want to bother speaking due to that. However I'm not here to impress anyone either. I'm not a real bad person if you get to know me well enough, if given the chance to that is. I also get mad at others if they got a problem with me and just stick me on ignore for no apparent reason without coming to me letting me know what's going on. I'm always willing to work things out whatever the problem may be. Now if it is over an issue dealing with cursing well all I can say about that is deal with it. Freedom of speech is entitled to everyone here on this site and anywhere else. That's all I got to say. Have a good day folks. Thanks!
I don't anger easily as a general rule, but some things do push me right over the edge in short order. Mainly, closeminded individuals that discount an idea, opinion, type of music, way of life, etc, immediatly upon that subject having been brought up. People who don't even make any attempt at cspell checking their emails, or at least flicking a currsory glance over their quick notes or private messages before sending them annoy me to no end. People who sware constantly, with out provocation, or try to talk as if they are black, when they are not, use American slang when they are not American, etc, really push my buttons. You can insult me, and all you will get is marked indiffirence, or at worst a verble slap in the face, but insult my close friends, or my two furry children, Siamese cats, and you're in for a verbal onslaut that will require you to remove my figurative foot from your figurative mouth in order to brush your figurative teeth, as my figurative foot will be that far up your figurative ass. We clear? Good, but, I really am a nice person most of the time. I do tend to talk endlessly and have a tendency to try to interest others in things that I am deeply interested in, but when told to shut up in a kindly way, I usually comply.
Yeah swearing constantly is not really good but cursing sometimes helps. Hehehe. Especially if you are angry - here we are on our topic again.
I used to think that it took quite a lot to get me angry - not any more LOL !! Right now I can go from feeling rather good to flamin mad in under 5 seconds !! Surprisingly I can also go on being mad for ages - days even (might even try for weeks), but I do know I will get over it.
