1 2 then getting so mad that you circle round to calm again and start being wildly sarcastic

u/Rich-Many3632 15h ago

Walter White?

u/salty-bubbles 17h ago

The sarcasm is real

u/Browncoatinabox 14h ago

I feel so seen on a spiritual level

26

u/Tasenova99 18h ago

That depends.

If w other people None or Silent

If angry at my computer for the 100th time then 9. Summon a demon.

12

u/GeistMD 18h ago

I go with 9. Swallowing it all down with substance Abuse.

8

u/Deskbreaker 18h ago

Usually shout, then destroy stuff. Depends on how badly I'm doing..though tbh the destruction is not usually on purpose, it just kind of happens. I mean, i thought a roll of electrical tape wouldn't have been heavy enough to put a hole in the door.

u/nytel 16h ago

I shout too. I shout at my computer. The client's computer. The Windows start menu. The Internet being down. I never shout at people though. It's always that goddamn computer.

u/punktualPorcupine 17h ago

Single ply at the airport, has more structural integrity than some doors.

u/needs_more_zoidberg 15h ago

What was your childhood like? As a 1+2 I'm curious how we turned out so differently

u/MedievalMilshake 14h ago

Same, then get sad the next few days while attempting to fix it

u/VisionAri_VA 9h ago
  1.  

See, when I get annoyed, I get snarky and start throwing one-liners around like I’m starring in a ‘90s sitcom. But on the rare occasions that I get genuinely angry, people (later) joke that they felt the temperature drop. 

2

u/richardawkings 8h ago

Same, it allows me time to think about how to address whatever is bothering me. May also choose option 1 from time to time for the same reason. I've personally found the other options ineffective in the long run.

  1. Seethe
  2. Sarcastic quip

u/SchrodingersWorkSlut 18h ago

1,2,3, and 6. I can usually contain it to 1&2 though. People think I’m a pushover, but really I’m just trying not to catch a felony. 

2

u/Moveyourbloominass 17h ago

Sprinkle in some menopausal rage, it is truly a battle not to catch a felony. My friend Maryjane and solitaire keep me out of jail.

2

u/SchrodingersWorkSlut 14h ago

Yaaas…and add in the hot flashes for that extra button to push 

4

u/sleepybastardd 17h ago

The amount of times I’m smacked my OWN DRINK off the table in frustration is ridiculous. And annoying bc. My drink.

3

u/ElkGraff23 19h ago

My anger is a progression. It goes 1, 2, 6, 3. Can skip entire steps when pushed

2

u/Life-Menu-785 18h ago

2nd one 

2

u/EveryonesANurse 15h ago

Laugh and walk away

People start saying ridiculous things to me and I start laughing so they think it's a sign of guilt like I'm some supervillain when there's nothing you say to calm them down etc

Then I tend to say "fuck off" once I've had enough of their bs inability to listen and walk away

Oh, and then murder

2

u/QuothTheRavenMore 15h ago

What about being Petty? That one

2

u/LienaSha 15h ago

Where's 'immediately turn it into more depression'? XD

2

u/drako_86 14h ago
  1. I complain about things that will never be fixed because it would destroy our government even though it would improve everybody's lives

2

u/Now-293-Phumes 11h ago

7! Depends on my mood or who I’m with.

2

u/cmdr_scotty 8h ago

Been working on being more 1 and 2.

Been at 6 for years, and it leaves me feeling absolutely awful when I finally calm down from it :(

I'd much rather just go quiet, and walk away from the source so I can cool down, than scream and shout.

5

u/Any_Conversation9650 7h ago

You have to look for that pause between acknowledging your anger and the action(shouting). Noticing the pause will you give you pause to allow yourself to take a breath

→ More replies (5)

2

u/Carbon-Based216 18h ago

I used to destroy everything. Then I became an adult and suddenly I could be thrown in jail for it... So 1 and 2 it is

2

u/CaptainBlotto 16h ago

Silent to a point. When that point is reached, Walk Away. If while walking away the other person is still chirping, Shout.

1

u/Visual-Mechanic-4232 19h ago

Depends.

Heated argument = 1, 3, 6

Deep emotional wound = 1, 2, 4

1

u/Ok-Satisfaction3085 19h ago

Those are more of just phases or situationally different except laughter. I don’t angry laugh. Like walk away and silent is the same and this would be if I got cheated on or something like that or if a friend betrays me. I would just leave. Destroy stuff is when I’m unbearably and unfairly being pushed well past my limits and I have no way to get out of the situation and it’s being done to me by a family member. This is after trying every coping method, every mediation effort I know. This is after I’ve apologized and am just trying to make the argument stop, even if I’m not in the wrong. It feels like my insides are going to burst. Like my veins are going to split open. Crying is frustration when I’m being disciplined for something I had nothing to do with or being shit on by another persons mistake but I have to deal with the consequences. Shout is when I continue to be interrupted which happens A LOT. I have the majority of breaking stuff and yelling under control I haven’t broken anything that wasn’t mine in a very long time. But I will tear up papers or something when I’m alone because the energy has to leave or it causes bigger issues for my heart.

u/harrysgirlhere 19h ago

u/Viking2151 19h ago

1, then 6, then 3.

u/Prize-Warthog 19h ago

Sarcasm is the way

1

u/NLSanderH89 18h ago

1 or 2, after that, 5.. but with 5, the one i’m angry with should start being afraid. Very afraid.

1

u/Apart-Shelter-9277 18h ago

2,4, 11 shut down

u/httpsZAK 18h ago

I used to have 3 but I have since grown out of that

1

u/Angry_GorillaBS 18h ago

Can be any except for 4 depending on the situation l. 2 and 5 likely being the worst for whoever I'm mad at. But it doesn't happen all that much these days.

1

u/BloodHurricane 18h ago

1

u/Adept-Atmosphere1754 18h ago

u/Maestro_boi 18h ago

All of it lol

1

u/Cautious_Tell_8367 18h ago

I'm an 8, I can't even remember when I felt anger the last time

1

u/WhimsicalGirl 18h ago

7 minus 3

1

u/Chillin_Civilian1234 17h ago

Normally 1 and 2. If it’s bad, 4 and 5. I’ve never done 3 though I’ve thought to many times, and probably ever done 6 once.

1

u/NPC261939 17h ago

I start at 6, and at times escalate from there.

1

u/one_eyed_teddy 16h ago

Was 3 and 6 but I gave up drinking 18 months ago. Now it's 1 and 2. Couldn't be happier.

1

u/Dare2BeU420 16h ago

Depends on what the argument is about and how bad it is but essentially all except laugh.

1

u/Lostmywayoutofhere 16h ago

I am 6 then 1

1

u/Shantotto11 16h ago

Stutter and shake

1

u/Top_Living_2393 16h ago
  1. 4. and 1. in that order LOLLL, it's an odd mix. (I try to walk away before I cry but usually the other person won't let me just disappear like that. 😭) Gosh this question reminds me of a shitty conversation I had last year. 

1

u/Competitive_Emu_3247 16h ago

How is "snark" not on the list?

1

u/hellno49 16h ago

I wake up at 5:00 to work at a factory making 650€ per month, need a new car but bank refuses a loan.
I’m so fucking happy rn.
I live in the countryside, work hard but bank apparently thinks I need to walk 5 hours each way

1

u/SortNo412 16h ago

7 and I’m not proud of it

1

u/AccuratePineapple221 16h ago

1

u/Quiet_Falcon2622 16h ago

1, 4, 5, and 9. Sarcasm

2 and then 3 when it is serious

1

u/ButchLord 16h ago

Usually 2 and 3

1

u/DarthMelancholia 16h ago

Walk away. If applicable I write a nasty comment to Ethicspoint explaining why the department is a mess.

1

u/Hamilton-Beckett 16h ago

1, 2, or an option not even listed…which is calmly communicate my frustrations with involved party, and find resolution.

From the post and comments, I fear for the state of emotional maturity across the board.

1

u/PeenInVeen 16h ago

Typically 2. I like to think I'm really chill, but if someone repeatedly doesn't listen to me, aka kids, and I have to ask the same thing more than 3 times, then I start shouting.

1

u/EagleUnionwaifu89 16h ago
  1. But somewhat controlled

1

u/Krull-WarriorKing-86 15h ago
  1. Crippling paralysis

1

u/HuckleberryGeneral69 15h ago

All of the above, anger is a hell of an emotion

u/eryx_w 15h ago

1,2 ,5,6

u/tehweave 15h ago

Almost always 2

1

u/atlantis2705 15h ago

Silent, if the person continues to test my silence then shout, again silence and walk away

1

u/YellaMila85 15h ago

2 and 4 for me

1

u/Yeez25 15h ago

First its silent, then i walk off, if i keep being followed ill start shouting, then destroy stuff, then cry

1

u/Hot_Variation3526 15h ago

Depends on what and who caused it.

1

u/Fabulous-Finance-87 15h ago

I'm a 2 visually deep breath and often am eye roll and then 1

1

u/This_is_fine8 15h ago

Usually silent or walk away. I don't do well with confrontation so I tend to shut down and avoid. It isn't until I calm down that I can actually deal with it all

1

u/lurkingimposter 15h ago

Surprisingly #7, I cycle though it all

1

u/Significant-Pear5713 15h ago

2 to 5 to 3 to 6

1

u/Valuable-Hat8007 15h ago

Where is option 10, your doing me head in

1

u/MhammedBenji 15h ago

7 unfortunately... I'm still getting famous though.

1

u/monkeywithabutton 15h ago

7, just depends on the day. Only cry alone at night though.

1

u/FelishaLynn25 15h ago

1 and 2 for like 10 minutes and then 8 because I can't stay mad unless I'm actively trying to 🥴 Its the only one of my emotions that doesn't linger forever

1

u/MiExperienciaFueQue 15h ago

1- Talk, talk, talk, talk
2- Cry, shout, cry, shout, shout, shout
3- Silent, cry, silent
4- Laugh at the audacity while waiting one last time for a turn around
5- Silently walk away
6- Destroy anything (possible) that reminds me of the pain
7- Move on while laughing and healing which includes crying (mourning and detoxification)

1

u/iferex-241 15h ago

3 and 6

1

u/FunkyYoghurt 15h ago

I'm usually 5 but I worked in behaviour in a high school. I think it's just trained into me.

1

u/persilja 15h ago

The progression is usually 2 to 5 to 1,

1

u/EatLard 15h ago

Silent, but it definitely shows on my face. If someone has done something that upsets me, and I want them to know about it, I’ll wait until I cool off to talk to them about it.

1

u/BahamutSeed 15h ago

Everything but destroy stuff. Not in this economy.

1

u/Igottapoopnow 15h ago

Mostly 2. Sometimes 1.

1

u/Atlantean_Raccoon 15h ago

5,2 and then 1, usually in that order. My appearance means that I look far too scary and intimidating when yelling or rampaging so I know there is a point when I have to walk away before that

1

u/LankyGuitar6528 15h ago

2 and 9. (9 = Revenge. 5 years later. When you least expect it.)

1

u/Troubled_Rat 15h ago

and 1+5 on top of that

1

u/miyikion 14h ago

I'm either 6 or 2 then what follows is 4 or 5. It depends on my mood control and contexts.

1

u/Street_Network9856 14h ago

🤔 3, 6, & 4 lol

1

u/Long_life33 14h ago

Depending on the situation, problem, event, people close, far from me, care not care etc... I give different reactions. So 7 I guess???

1

u/HarderTime89 14h ago

You learn 3 just makes things worse.

1

u/ifandbut 14h ago

2 and 4 here as well

1

u/cluckitycluck4 14h ago

I am 1+2 pissed off for the most part. I guess I have multi-anger?

1

u/jamesdcreviston 14h ago

Starts at 2, then 1, can devolve into 6,3,4 and after it’s over 5.

1

u/Gigachad629 14h ago

3 and 5. Simultaneously

1

u/ADownStrabgeQuark 14h ago

Hold it in, then walk away and cry in private.

1

u/Grafferine 14h ago

1 and 2

1

u/KateSerif 14h ago

I used to be a shouter and a crier. As I’ve gotten older, I’m none of these options.

Deep breaths. Communication. Take a break for everyone to cool down if need be. If the other party isn’t willing to be reasonable, shut it down and refuse to engage.

1

u/Broken_Logic_0 14h ago

D I S A P P O I N T E D

1

u/MarkivMedian 14h ago
  1. Of course!

1

u/LarzardofZxelf 14h ago
  1. But don't think I've hitting that point in crying yet. Maybe if it all makes me exhausted or scared

1

u/illegirl77 14h ago

1 / 3/6 depending on the situation and person

1

u/Celebirdee 14h ago

All of it. OMG, I need anger management

1

u/glorified-autocorrec 14h ago

2,1,5,6, then talk shit back so good they get traumatized

1

u/CattoGinSama 14h ago

Depends on who im angry at.

If its like my boss or someone disrespecting me who has no business doing that,I get livid. If its someone I love then it.. also depends why obviously but its often cry or silent (until I process my emotions)

1

u/ArahniVelsaan 13h ago

Usually just quiet.... plotting

1

u/Potential-Menu-3882 13h ago

3 on the inside, 2 and 4 on the outside

1

u/One-Happy-Gamer 13h ago

Mine is one that keeps it internal and starts building until I let it all out

1

u/Weird_Emoji_Man 13h ago

Depends on how angry. If it's a manageable anger, 1 and 2. If not, I'm finding something unimportant and fragile

1

u/scoodyboo6 13h ago

1 or if i am obliged to stay then 5

1

u/Holiday_Coconut_1571 13h ago

Mostly 1 and 2, 6 does happen but it's rare

1

u/ConstantMoney7 13h ago

2 3 6 depending on location and people involved

1

u/Master-T-bone 13h ago

1 and 2 and at that point you are dead to me

1

u/Necessary-Duty-7952 13h ago

Where's the actual adult option of "process the anger and then discuss it like a grown up"?

1

u/Efficient-Belt5462 13h ago

7 because it depends onwhay kind of anger we are talking about

1

u/Catastrofus 13h ago

1, 2 and 5. Ain’t nobody got time for my emotions.

1

u/SecretUnlikely3848 12h ago

Complain and argue until it goes away.

Or I'd just walk

1

u/MindlessWander_TM 12h ago

1 and 2, usually.

1

u/FoodLife8194 12h ago

1 2 and 5

1

u/Sarilox 12h ago

1, 2, 4, 5 ,6 in that order.

1

u/CriminallyCasual7 12h ago

Just 6, surprisingly

1

u/Logical_Mechanic_270 12h ago

Walk away silently then mentally plot bad things like killing you, hurting you or coming back in damaging ways until I let go. After that I forget you exist, forgive while trying to understand your reasons then move on or approach you later to solve the matter when I'm calm.

1

u/Left_Treacle7134 12h ago

7 and working on it. Toned it down quite a bit after scaring the shit out of who I becojme when I am angry. It can be scary.

1

u/Special_Rooster7025 11h ago

Depends but time has taught me to chuckle, shake my head and walk away.

1

u/FFVO 11h ago

Where's swallow it down and ruminate until I make myself physically ill?

1

u/uhohspaghettios_19 11h ago

1

u/jennylou303 11h ago
