I am a venter!!!!Www@QuestionHome@Com

Neither!. I practice letting it go, each time I feel it!.
Anger is just a temporary emotional response to being hurt!. Just relax when it happens, don't fight the feelings, it's okay to FEEL angry, just don't act while you feel that way!. Stay relaxed, decide you'll address the issue in a little while, when you calm down - but don't let the feelings be expressed in angry actions or words, you'll usually regret it soon afterward!. It's not repression, it's a gentle relaxing!. It takes practice to relax during this experience, keep doing it, you'll get better at it!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I used to hold it in and then one day I would blow up for no reason, but now I have found some ways to calm myself down without hurting anyone even the person I am mad at!.
1!. I lock myself in my room or if I am in school or public I go to the restroom
2!. I breathe slowly and get myself together!.
3!. I write down how I feel
4!. Then I rip it up
5!. Then I read and listen to music until I fall asleep

This is what helps me calm down after I get angryWww@QuestionHome@Com
