behavingbadly -> RE: Controlling your temper (10/16/2010 9:20:58 AM)

i'm not able to control my temper. i don't think it's healthy to control your temper because when i get angry i get angry for a really good reason. this is where i really struggle being a sub since i feel like if someone pushes me to the point where i can't control my temper they don't deserve for me to control it.

Anger and how you react to it is two separate things. Anger is an emotion, reacting is a behavior. The reaction creates the dynamic for the result, including the good, the bad and the ugly. Negative reaction, negative result.

Wow. In that case...

Just fucking shoot me now. Cause evidently I have no worth. >.<

Seriously... have some forgiveness man. People fuck up. That doesn't mean they don't deserve love. The ability to forgive is an extremely underrated quality.

I don't see it as controlling my temper as controlling my behavior. There is a certain expectation he has for my behavior and he will not settle for less. It took some hard knocks, but I learned that if I want to interact with him that I have to behave in a certain way no matter how pissed off I may be.

This is really the heart of the issue for me. I have no interest in controlling or hiding my anger. I have a hot temper - it's part of me. What I want to do is figure out how to handle my response.

My suggestion is figure out what is the underlying reason you are choosing to get to a point that you are so angry you stop controlling your behavior. There is a pay off in there somewhere for you and if you can identify it and find other ways to get that pay off without being destructive to the people around you, then you might solve your problem.

Thank you for posting. This gives me something to think about. I need to figure out why I get to that point and speak to Valyraen and others close to me about it.

This can be a long road for some..... for others... the behavior is not so entrenched and it can be alot easier... I hope the latter for you... as I know what the former is like.


Thank you as well for posting. It's really nice to see someone else who has had issues with their temper who now has control over it. I do believe that part of my temper and lashing out is learned from the enviroment I grew up. Very loving parents but there were a LOT of fights between us all! [:)]

Thank you as well for the kind hopes. You know I have the greatest respect for you, Alandra and Kyra.

And, of course, thanks to all who have posted. I was extremely surprised to log on and find this thread still going! [:)]

So when someone tells you that you have behaved selfishly and they don't want to see you again, that means you have the right to pick up a baseball bat and bash them over the head? After all if you don't have to control it, isn't this a possibility?




barelynangel -> RE: Controlling your temper (10/17/2010 8:58:26 AM)

Umm Celeste, i know you like projecting in these types of topics and making it all about the extreme but where in the hell did she EVER remotely say that.  AND NO, its NOT A POSSIBILITY FOR A MAJORITY OF PEOPLE who lose their tempers.

I know you love generalizing but well i am almost 40 years old and i have a temper from hell.  I have never remotely scared anyone with my temper, i have never hurt anyone with my temper physically -- yeah my words can be a bitch at times -- i have never been arrested or had the police called or broken any laws because of my lose of my temper.  And you know what Celeste, I AM THE MAJORITY of people.

Yeah some people are assholes but here is a clue, in MOST DV situations the violence isn't based on lose of temper its based on the need to control.  MOST DV situations are a result of the person knowing exactly what they are doing and more so WHY, and its not becuase they lost their temper -- that is an excuse they use.

BIG DIFFERENCE between losing your temper -- and bashing someone's head in with a bat in the name of losing your temper.  One is a natural expression of your temper and the other is an excuse.

AND, here something else to chew on -- not all loss of control is a loss of temper or an expression of temper.

I was actually hoping the op might start to think about what she's written, and explain it better. I'm getting tired of unintelligible posts.

Nnytheangel -> RE: Controlling your temper (10/17/2010 7:29:33 PM)

From my own experiences, so take it or leave it as you will, I've discovered the easiest way for me to control my temper is to vent. Most of this takes the form of writing, admittedly lots and lots of writing and occasionally an incoherent sort but in writing, I can say everything that I want to say but, for some reason fails to come out. Over time this has changed from writing out of anger or frustration to simply writing for enjoyment, both mine and a potential reader's. I have an easier time being clever, witty, educational, instructive or just generally getting my point across through writing than I generally can through speaking. Not to say I'm slow witted, but what may sound humorous on the spur of the moment may not come out sounding the way I intended in my head and, I occasionally have issues with the brain-to-mouth filter. I'm not saying this is a catch-all problem solver, and it may not work for everyone but I am just trying to share what I have learned.




SubPet715 -> RE: Controlling your temper (10/17/2010 8:45:00 PM)

I will admit I do have buttons that can be pushed the important thing is to reserve yourself and calmly exude this feeling somehow so you never get to the punching walls or spouses point of anger.

The way I do it is simple, I vent, if the person cares enough for my feelings they will play ball with me and we can have an open and amicable discussion about what it is i'm feeling. If not then it will come out in other ways, snapping, raising of the voice, and lastly hitting. While I have never gotten to this point because most people I know on a personal level are easy to talk to, I have gotten this way with strangers who are simply beyond reasoning.

When it comes to your temper, reserve it for those who don't deserve your restraint.




Cherylmazana -> RE: Controlling your temper (10/18/2010 4:26:17 AM)

I had a problem for years controlling my anger, most people never knew about it though as the only one who ever really saw it was my husband, I would save it all up and then explode it on him. There were too many people in my life that needed me to be calm and rational because they couldn’t be and so he was my safety valve. We had some good cathartic fights with me screaming and throwing things and him shouting back, afterwards I felt a great deal of stress relief, but it wasn’t any fun for him.

Then one day he said there are too many arguments I am not going to argue any more. I then found out that it’s impossible to argue with someone who smiles at you very gently, kisses and hugs you and says let’s sit down and talk about this but who won’t let it turn into an argument. If I can’t keep calm he gets up and walks away he smiles tells me he loves me but refuses to have an argument.

The strange thing is after I got over the how dare he treat me like this and trying to argue anyway stage I am much happier. Things don’t wind me up the way they used to, I can laugh off the idiots instead of letting them ruin my whole day, I can talk about things that had me foaming at the mouth calmly and shrug and forget them.

I have come to realise that the anger and arguments feeds on the anger and arguments, creating a self perpetuating monster that doesn’t make me happy, all it does is feed the adrenaline junkie I had made myself into. I don’t think anyone really wants to be angry all the time, looking back I can see just how unhappy all the arguments and anger was making me but I couldn’t break out of that self destructive cycle alone. I had help from someone who simply refused to argue back.

Cheryl

TotalDiscipline -> RE: Controlling your temper (10/18/2010 12:26:30 PM)

I control my temper with those who are not worth it.
With those close to me..it is sometimes hard.
