Anger Management
I know that it doesn't show on the CB, (which is probably a good thing!), but I have this horrid temper. Luckily, I found a way to suppress it. In my mind, I created a "Glass Throwing Room", and when I'm mad, I imagine myself throwing glass items at a wall. It really helps! So, what do you guys do to stop your tempers?

I get really mad sometimes, and I just wan't to tear something or break something so bad, so I've taken to smashing these little ceramic tiles we have lying around (my mom covered a table in mosaic tiles but they are all coming off and nobody really cares about it). I also rip things. Yeah. But one time my mom was like, "Yeah, good idea! Rip that!" and then I really didn't feel like ripping it because she told me to. I don't actually get that mad, it's just when my two crazy seven year old sisters drive me nuts, I go nuts. Well, not completely crazy. Whatever.

I get mad. Lots. Mainly because I have to clean my room. I normally just punch pillows and the floor and clean very very slowly while saying "I hate cleaning" over and over cleaning very slowly hoping (if we're going somewhere of course) that I won't finish before we have to leave. I also get angry when people don't believe me just because I'm ten and have a "big imagination." And when people treat me like a baby cuz I'm short and young for my grade. And when somethings not fair and I say "Its not fair" and someone says "Life's not fair" and I'm like "Yeah, life's not fair and not all things can be fair, but this thing you could make fair if u actually tried." But no1 ever tries. Grrrrr.

For me, I have a different kind of anger problem. I just . . . I feel like this shield goes up, and then whoever talks at me talks to my shield, and they get subjected to my cynical criticism and if they do something unsatisfactory, my negativity and cold sarcasm. So far I haven't found any solutions for it; if you have any ideas that would be great.
@Over The Rainbow I think I know what you mean about ripping things. I know that when I'm reading, I end up folding whatever paper is around, ripping it, and then sometimes twisting it.

Oh, yes, indigo. I have the EXACT same thing. I'm like a cynical, horrible, pessimistic robot for a few hours.

Same.
I'm. Absolutely. Sensitive. You guys probably have seen me on cb. I mean, when someone starts making this really op character(not saying anyone, but I have a few names), I get super frustrated. And my family makes fun of me a lot (Braces, Glasses, nerdiness), and I usually go in the bathroom, lock the door, and sulk. I always hate everything, and even sometimes say no to good food because of my stubborness. I also throw pillows, scream (Or sometimes swear in it's really bad) in my head, etc. etc.
I pretty much say no to everything.

I scream at people a lot, sometimes I throw things but not a lot. I can usually control all of my other emotions, but anger is the hardest to manage.

When I am mad, I give the provoker a really dangerous death glare, begin cussing in my head, then storm upstairs into my room, where I proceed to find something to destroy. I usually fail at finding something suitable, so I go pick up a book that matches my mood, then lose myself in someone else's problems.

When someone makes me mad, I leave and draw pictures of that person jumping into the Pit of Death, or fantasize about it. Also I sulk, swear in my head, and fantasize about showin' them up with a nice martial arts demonstration, or punch the air and scream into pillows.

I am a naturally very optimistic and open-minded person, so I always try to see the brighter side of things and rarely feel angry. Thinking positively is the key to happiness!
But if something is really, seriously upsetting me, I like to do this breathing technique I learned a few years ago. I inhale through my nose for seven beats, and then I hold my breath for four beats, and then I slowly let it out through my mouth for eight beats. It really helps to calm me down, and I find myself handling the situation more maturely.
That technique also helps for falling asleep, by the way!

I mostly just give whoever made me mad the death glare and imagine their head exploding. I also rant in my head a long time after about that topic.
