How can I control my anger?

Ok, in the past year or two I get so pissed off. Sometimes, over stupid reasons. This year, I fractured my pinky because I hit a wall. Me and my mom were arguin and she took my phone. That got me even madder and we kept arguin over the phone and other things. Next thing I know, I looked at my mom and balled up my fists but I turned and hit the wall and fractured my pinky. Sometimes people mess with me and I get mad, especially if people act like their big and bad and then think they're tough and shit like that. When I was younger, a few people would hit me in the back or on the arm. I was basically the kind of kid that let people push me around and if they'd say something to me I wouldn't say anything back. When I was 11 me and my friend got mad and he punched me in the face. Back then I was scared to hit him back because I didn't know how my parents would react(I found out later that they wouldn't have cared if I would've hit him. They told me I should've taken up for myself.) So when he hit me I poured my drink on him and he hit me again. Now I just get so mad over nothing because I used to let people push me around. I can get so mad sometimes I just want to beat the shit out of that person who made me mad. Am I crazy?

It's natural man, I punched a kid in the face for smarting off....

 

He had a bloody nose, and he was unconscious

you arent crazy... unless i am too, i have a very short fuse!

Hm...

(DarknessLover sounds VERY familiar... Do I know you already?)

 

And anger is one big problem for me.

I punch walls too.

I throw things and scream, and i... tear... things.

oO

I just try not to take it out on other people.

It's normal, trust me.

Alright, thanks everyone.:thumbsup:

i was exactly the same when i was younger, its natural to get angry when someone pushes you around.

i understand its irritating but its better 2 ignore them..the things that piss u off r probly really stupid things caused by really stupid ppl..if u continue theyre gonna do stuff thats gonna get u even more angrier..the best thing 2 do is jst take ur stress out on like a punching bag and things like that..it happens 2 me a lot..i feel like breaking ppls noses in school lol but I know theyre not worth it and that itll get me in trouble

Punching Bag,MMA,Running...Any exercise kinda thing usually helps you focus and be able to control your anger

I had a terrible childhood, which made me very angry as i grew up.

 

Maybe look to what is the cause of your anger and see if there is anyway to adjust it, so your fuse isn't so short.

I kicked a kid across a room last wednesday for punching me where I just had my kidney transplant.

 

It was completely involuntary too. It was like "Hey Jake! What's goin on, bro? (punch) --- POOM!!!!! Ahhhhhhh.... (fade out into awkward silence of spectators.)

Trust me thats just like normal anger. Sometimes it piles up for a little while but eventually dies down. If your angry just come online and cuss out somebody over aim. And then tell them later on it was your little sister.

Your not crazy I mean there's Times someone can get me mad I wanna kill'em so bad

sometimes I'm so close to it too, one time I strangled a friend cause he pissed me off,

I would slug out whoever would cross me, I would cuss'em out first and if they would keep goin

I'd start somthing, but thats all diffrent now, I don't do that anymore.

 

I now vent my anger by...just keepin it in and forgettin about it.

^ You never forget about it. You can push it down for so long before it comes back up again, usually when you least suspect it and over the most trivial and pointless minor things. Trust me, pushing it down solves nothing. Try and deal with it where you can in the most constructive ways you know how. Use your head not your fists.
