Anger

Anger is defined as a strong feeling of displeasure or hostility.Everyone gets angry but a lot of people get angry at different things. It is an emotion that many people have trouble controlling. I consider that it is the hardest emotion to control. Many people struggle with controlling it and need to go to anger management classes.
I can get angry at a lot things. I don't get as angry as I did when I was younger but it is still pretty bad. When I get angry I get really angry. I usually get angry over the stupidest things. Let me say first i hate losing. When i was younger i was really into video games and i lost a lot when i played them. See losing is kind of a reasonable way to get angry, but get angry over video game is a very dumb reason. So when i lost, didn't just lose the game, i lost my temper to. I'd play a game of madden  get blown out and then just start a hissyfit. I would use every curse word in my vocabulary and and throw anything that was in sight. I wouldn't punch anything because i didn't want to get hurt, but i put many holes in the wall from a ps2 remote or the tv remote. The best to handle that situation was to stop playing video games for awhile, so i did.
Now that i am older and more mature i learned to control my anger problems. Mostly because i just stopped caring about winning so much. I still hate losing with a passion but winning isn't everything to me now. So when i play video games and lose it doesn't bother me as much. Now i get angry at things like when people argue over extremely dumb things, even though it has nothing to do with me it just bothers me so much. Like my parents just have that caterogry covered. Also when you ask someone numerous times to stop doing something but they just continue doing it any way. Also when i'm doing something and my parents ask me to help them with somethinng i get pretty angry to. I don't understand why i just can't help it. I am aslo a very impatient person so i can't stand in long lines for very long.
The way I control most of my anger problems by having a clicky pen i just keep clicking it. Its like a stress ball to me, it keeps me pre-occupied and just helps me a lot. Like when I'm in the lunch room waiting to get my food it helps a lot having a clicky pen with me. Its the best strategy i have to help me control it. But i don't think it helps me that much because i think the best way to get rid of anger it just to flip out or something. Like when i used to throw remotes i felt like all of the anger just left me and i was really relieved. Now however i always feel like there just anger in me waiting to be unleshed. When i get angry i try to be alone if im going to curse or thrown things because i don't want to see me doing something stupid or saying something that might hurt them. The only advice I would have for someone would be just to find something that can help them get the anger out like find a happy place or something else.
