I don't get angry very often at all.. once every few years or so... and if i'm left alone, all is well.. i'll get over it pretty quickly... 5 minutes tops
if a dude makes me angry, and won't leave me be... chances are that there will be blood..
if a woman makes me angry,and won't leave me be, there will be harsh words..
if a kid makes me angry, .... nothing... I don't get angry at kids... never have.
I rarely get angry, and when I do I am not the sort of person to act out. I despise yelling, and violence.
A couple times in my life, I have been pushed hard enough to really yell. But I have to be pushed really, really hard.
I voted "take a walk." After I do that, I might go home and write what I'd like to say, then once I've gotten that out of my system I think about the real conversation I'd have with that person, which is usually several notches more placid than what I wrote.
Im asking this out of curiosity. When I get mad, I generally mutter something under my breath and get over it. But sometimes, I become overwhelmed with anger. At that point I have to punch something, human or not. I currently have a broken bone, or at least that's what it feels like, in my hand from punching a concrete wall. But how do you react?
I listen to the person and evaluate the situation. Depending upon the facts, the person and the relationship I will give it the attention that it deserves. I do not automatically try to "fix" whatever is bothering the individual. Sometimes when someone is angry they simply want to "let off some stem", need someone to listen and do not want solutions. Indeed, to try and "fix" an already tempestuous situation could just upset the person even more. Sometimes the anger is misdirected and I just happen to be the closest person, both emotionally and logistically, and I take a moment to truly listen to what is going on.
Should the anger be directly related to something I have done I apologize and make amends to the person by looking at what the issues and facts were to cause such anger. Nobody is perfect least of all me...
