I would usually take it out on a punching bag... Just starting last year I started to use all that energy caused by my anger being built up, use it for something that can have a positive effect on myself and everything else around me.

When i am angry i still feel an irrepressible desire to hit something, but once i punched badly an arm chair and hurted myself, that pain lasted for so long... i thought to have fractured a couple of fingers... from that moment on i try to avoid it and to vent myself in a different way. Sport is helpful, try to believe. I even broke a table leg by kicking it, my mom is not happy.

Hitting somebody is out of discussion, in the past i used to fight with my brothers and friends (you know, it always started like a game but endend up like that) and one day i injured a guy on his face (which, afterwards, got incredibly swollen). The wound took many time to heal and i felt like an asshole. I don't raise my hand anymore since that day.

Why would i hurt myself over someone else? You must have alot of psychological problem's to cause harm to yourself over someone else. Or are just plain stupid.
Sometimes I wonder this myself, never had any real mental issues, so maybe I am just being stupid.


People who self-injure don't necessarily have an underlying mental condition. Barring attention-seeking emo kids, mentally healthy people do it in times when they're overpowered by intense negative emotion (e. g. anger) as a way to gain some relief of those emotions. This doesn't make them "stupid", if you're angry enough you just can't always make perfectly level-headed decisions, even if there are other, less problematic coping mechanism that might do the same trick (kicking or punching an inanimate object, screaming in a pillow, eating jalapeño peppers, whatever.)

And how is hurting someone else any better? It also means you failed to keep your emotions in check. Actually, you could argue it's even worse as it's being completely ignorant to social norms.

(FYI, I don't self-harm.)
I do wonder the proportion that lashes anger out at others instead of harming themselves. Even if the person is mentally irrational there is the basic instinct of survival to overcome as well. This is usually pretty hard to overcome unless one had already (un)intentional thoughts of hurting themselves already.

I don't think anybody is saying it's "better" to hurt others, it's just the usual outcome. And usually they are weaker individuals. It only takes some very very basic level of consciousness to pick your targets.

Unless the person is angry at THEMSELVES for whatever reason, then obviously it would be more likely. But the topic seem to be about just general anger, maybe got fired by a boss or something.

I guess i wasn't clear enough.

I hate the thought of hurting anything at all, which is probably why I have these thoughts.

For example: Someone makes me really angry. I want to punch them in the face, but I would rather hurt myself than hurt another person. But I have enough self-control not do any of it, so it just becomes a thought in my head.

If that even makes sense.

Yes I have. There was a girl that I really liked and I thought she really liked me (She'd say things like You're so much better looking than your brother or I think it'd be fun to date you) She ended up cheating on her fiance and dating this other guy (should've taken the hint that she was bad news) but I forced the issue and asked her to choose between me and the guy she was with. She chose him. I couldn't take it. I was tired of always being the last pick. I got really depressed and tried to hurt myself a lot. But in the end, a friend gave me some advice that really helped. Pick something about your life and change it. Doesn't matter how small or big it is. Just put everything you've got into changing it. It worked. Now, things are way better than they were back then. I'm happier than I've ever been. Sure I get down every once in a while but for the most part. Life is good.

I don't relate to that sense of anger. Especially if hurting yourself is out of your own intention. The closest I got was when the wooden stick broke while I was holding it so tightly. Those strands of wood got stuck between layers of my own skin. Had to pull them out slowly. All the while being angry and emotional at the same time.

I used to return anger directly, but now, just being overwhelmed by anger hurts my brain. To the point, I replace displaying anger with a smile. Sometime, twisted. Usually done in extremely calm manners. Words that cause damage, intelligent curses and swearing included.

If I ever got that angry, I'd probably hit an object like a wall or a tree. Or just stop and start doing sit-ups.

Getting mad enough to hurt myslef? thats crazy.

Getting mad enough and screaming to the heavens and hoping my power level destroys my surroundings is much more rational.

Hurting myself would stop me from hurting the person, so no. I just walk away.

I'm a black belt in kenpo, tae kwan do, and jiu-jutsu, and an MMA fighter and I also play football and baseball. Mainly when I get wicked pissed, I usually end up taking it out on inanimate objects (walls, poles, punching bags, my baseball bats, etc) It usually does the trick.

No. Hurting yourself is a bad way to be angry. If anything, hurt the thing that pissed you off.
As a child, I was told that society is a melting pot of talents; knowledge and experience combined to form important alloys that will contribute to mankind. When I got to highschool, however, I thought that it's more like a river in which the water represents our peers while we ourselves are the stones in the river. Constant erosion by mindless majority sheeping has made us lose our unique edge. After I hit the age of 18, I realized that I've been wrong all along. Society is no melting pot. Society is no river. Society is a person, a very skilled rapist, and he has fucked us all.

lol what? I've never wanted to do that or know anyone else that did. Now hurting other people that's a different story.

I use to, but I haven't been angry enough in ages. Once I got angry enough that I punched glass without thinking, I didn't feel any pain but when I looked at my clothes I saw lots of blood on them then realised my arm was bleeding around 5 minutes later.

It has happened to me. Not to the extent of wanting to kill myself, but when i'm really mad I sometimes punch myself, and not for other people, it happens when I do something really idiotic.

Also, I don't think is that much normal to want to kill yourself for anger.

That's how I feel. I haven't hurt myself yet though, it just pops up in my head. It's a stupid way to cope with anger, I know, but most people don't make smart decisions when they're angry.

I'm not looking for any sympathy, just want to know if anyone else has ever felt this way.

If not, how do you cope with your anger?


yes and no... First I want to take a knife and kill the one that pissed me off xD But since I can't do that I hit the wall xD

Killing yourself wouldn't done/solve anything, one thing I learned in this world is that no one is irreplaceable, you would be soon forgotten.

Reasoning about suicide is, in my opinion, not so sane.

But yea, I was so pissed I hit concrete wall, i broke my fist...
Not that I wanted to hurt myself, just to release tension.

No, hurting myself would just be painful, and in my experience, pain leads to more anger.

I cope with my anger by brooding over ways in which I can brutally kill/torture the people who make me angry. Those thoughts never amount to anything of course, but it is a nice way to let some steam loose in my head.

Continue my last rant:-

I never get tired why negative things can happen any time. I mean NOT everything can be POSITIVE sometimes. Till it makes me wanna lose myself.

like you get excited with something especially movies & video games, till when it's out, people like 'Ouch, this movie/game sucks' till it 'spread' everywhere & critic gave it an UNFAIR score till I was like 'WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT ABOUT?! THIS ISN'T FAIR!! I WANNA WATCH/PLAY IT FOR GOD'S SAKE!!'

like this one:-

I never tried to hurt myself while angry.
My other relieve is that I do not tend to hurt anyone else either, while being angry.
