If I am deeply angry I will become very quiet. I don't raise my voice and I don't swear, not at the time anyway. Later on when I'm alone I may turn the air blue.

The quieter I speak, the angrier I am. Those who know me understand that.

Depending on the anger level, I have been known to go in the backyard and throw rocks at a tree! Problem is, I don't have any BIG rocks.....

And dooBdoo, I understand where you're coming from.

Thanks, kittymomNC.

I understand the desire to throw something, too. I'd rather not have to clean up the mess afterward, though, if breakable items are being launched.

I too have a tendency to become very quiet if I am really very angry. I have been known to not respond to anyone around me if I am angry. But, once I have cooled off, sometimes I have to let the steam out.....and like you the air may turn blue...... Sometimes it is best to not say anything........

I get cranky. I like to address it right away though. I will talk about it with someone and get it off my chest. After expressing myself, and knowing I've been heard, I feel better.

The angrier I get, the quieter I get. At some point I try to talk it through with the person. It seems I am unable to hold a grudge after a short while. One of my best friends has told me I forgive too easily. I like my dad's explanation better. He says its my Irish roots coming through, that I am just like my grandfather in that and many other regards.

wookie, I think it's admirable that you're able to forgive.

It's always been my firm belief that when we forgive it doesn't mean what the other person did was okay. Grudges can make us sick. Forgiveness is a loving gift to ourselves.

Depends on the situation. I tend to raise my voice with siblings. I cuss under my breath when I'm dealing with idiots. I don't usually say a cuss directly to a person. I don't seek revenge although I'm not saddened if things don't go swimmingly for them.

Thanks, DooBdoo. I think you're right; forgiveness is a gift to ones self.
