This poll thing might be kind, I could easily get addicted to it.
So, when you get mad, what do you do? Sulk? Swear? Kick?
Personally, I do a mix of sulking, being passive aggressive, swearing, and crying.

I cry a lot. I mope. I am an emotional softie.
Usually when I get angry, I cry anyways so I never get my point across.

It depends on what I am angry about. Sometimes I sulk, sometimes I get outwardly angry, other times I just think about it for a while.

When I get really angry I tend to cry, which only makes me angrier because it IS impossible to get your point across.

With most things I am fairly Zen, I think of a duck coming up from under water and how the water beads up and rolls off its back. Just thinking of the imagery usually helps me keep my calm long enough to realize that getting mad is pointless and a waste of my energy.

Sometimes, only if someone really tries to piss me off, and it's that time of the month, I go into a full-blown sulk... but that is REALLY rare.

I cry a lot, but if I'm mad enough, yeah. I can be pretty passive aggressive, I'll admit. It's not a good thing, but it's true.

01/22/2011

Avant-garde

I try to go into a quiet place and meditate for a little while if I can, otherwise I can expect to be really pent up for a while.

01/22/2011

Destri

I have been through a lot in my life, so it really takes something monumental to get me really upset anymore. After all, is what you are mad about really going to matter to you next week?

01/22/2011

~LaUr3n~

I get very sarcastic and become quick on my toes with the comebacks.

It depends on what the issue is though. But, for the most part I get really sarcastic.

At home I will say leave me alone or I want to be left alone and when people bother me I have strong urges to break stuff and punch walls sometimes I will just throw something or punch my hand into the floor...sometimes I just yell at people to leave me alone...but when I get really angry I go to my room and just scream,swear and sometimes cry

Think of all the times that someone has pulled that passive-aggressive stuff on you. It feels pretty crappy right?

I usually start of like that, but usually after 15 minutes or so, I make myself grow up.

01/22/2011

Envy

Sometimes I get passive-aggressive and other times I try to do something to busy myself so it passes.

Depends on the situation but I try not to get too riled up. If you catch me on the right day though, look out.

I usually sulk and I am very short with responses. If I am in my car, I'll listen to music loudly. If I am at work, I just keep it to myself.

I think it would depend on the issue at hand but I usually tend to yell it out of my system before dealing with people. Mommy needs her time outs to fuss, bitch and moan lol

01/22/2011

Beaners

I hate to admit that I'm passive aggressive, but I really am. I get quiet and, like Lauren, sarcastic. Or if I'm just all around upset, I'll just get away from everybody until I can calm down.

01/22/2011

Gunsmoke

I try to move onto something positive to take my mind of my disappointment. That puts me in a mood to be gracious and apologize or accept an apology when necessary.

01/22/2011

Darling Jen

It depends on how angry I am or who it's at or if I feel personally attacked. I'm usually good at letting it roll off, though my feelings get hurt easily. But I'm prone to the occasional sulk and definitely to imagining revenge.

Same here lol

It is rare that I get very angry--some people have laughed when I talk about being so upset. As if it doesn't happen to everyone sometimes.

I have a wide range of shows of anger, I display different things to different people. I never, ever yell. I don't know what could get me to that point.

Most people make me sulky--my partner included. We never, fight, just pout until someone apologizes. But I could not vote on that--I never plot poisonous revenge.

I also can be passive-aggressive, especially with people I don't know well.

Some people feel a little of my anger more. The internet and my family especially. I never used to get so angry, but my family and I have become increasingly different, and I am more likely to speak against things now. But the most that happens is that my speech sounds more heated, my face gets red. But I always try to cool down when I start feeling carried away.

I curse, a lot. I seem to get angry easily by how much I curse, but it's just that I'm an easily frustrated person and my main coping skill it bitching and swearing.

If it's anger because something I'm doing isn't going right or I'm annoyed at myself for physical imperfections, I will swear my ass off and have a fit. I will throw things ... like clothing - nothing breakable cause I think enough in that state to know I'll have to clean it up and replace the item/s.

If it's anger towards some stranger on the street cause of something stupid they have done or said and they start the arugment - then a verbal match is on! I refuse to back down and let someone have a go at me! And once someone gets me rolled up, I won't stop til they back down and bugger off. Lucky it has never gotten into a physical match (YET).

If it's an argument with family, I will try to have my say and then I will ignore them for however long it takes for me to stop stewing. I believe the longest length of time after my mum and I had an arguement was about 6 days which isn't easy when ya live in the same small house...lol.

Not everyone is the same and takes things the same way. What a suck hole of a world that would be! We'd be like friggin robots.

PASS!
