Men for the most part are denied the right to express emotions by society. The only acceptable emotion we seem to be able to express is anger. I have to admit that I have a short fuse and it doesn't help my blood pressure out in the least. I was just wondering how many of you will admit to not being zen masters and have let your anger get the best of you(or should I say make the worst of you). What do you do to help deal with your feelings? How do you vent in a healthy or non destructive way or derail a situation(determine triggers) from developing into a hulkfest?

   

My BP is good as well. I don't get angry that often either, and if I do it's usually out of some frustration. I yell at times, but mainly I try to walk away from it and come back later to discuss after some thought and cooling down time. Maybe it's better sometimes to yell it out and get it out, instead of holding it in and letting your body absorb your tension. My shoulders and neck are always tight.

   

Thats BS as far as im concerned...

   

men who 'share' their emotions are usually considered a little off by most.

   

I like many of my class and gender do not express emotion too much, must have something to do with being packed off to boarding school at an early age, the daily cold showers and beatings by the housemaster. Emotion is for the weak, for women and for fags, repression is the the best form of self defence.

It always makes me laugh when the current Mrs M is watching some god awful soap and the male characters share their emotions with each other, as I explain to her IT IS NOT REAL!, men do not do that. The thought of a male friend wishing to share his deepest emotions with me would send a cold shiver through my spine, an urge to slap him and an uncontrollable desire to terminate our friendship.

Stiff upper lip, thats what won us an Empire and it was liberal caring socialists that lost us it

   

you should retitle this thread FAO hwacker

   

Yeah i'm reading and having a good laugh.

   

I'm more of a passive-agressive kind of angry person. I get angry about things, but I usually don't act upon my feelings.

If I let too much build up I usually drop what I'm doing and engage in some "me" time. It usally works.

   

Just like Adam Sandler in Anger Management

   

Never saw that movie. Adam Sandler sucks too much.

   

I spend most of my day angry and frustrated. It's either take the dogs outside or hang out here on CKA. It is extemely unlikely you will ever see me in the L.X.D. - I'm not here for that.
Why would anyone come to the internet looking to argue?

   

Because the yelling doesn't drown out the TV.

   

I crank up the sound systems....

Living room has 50 watts surround and PC now has 68 watts!!!



Plug in whatever genre of music I listen to...
"Alternative" to be exact...

Co-ordinate a simulcast and crank the volume till the windows shake.

Hit the drums and pretend to be the rock star I never was...

And then I chillax.....tune out the world...

Can't play worth shit...this I know but damn I feel good when I have the opportunity.

Very "therapeutic"

   

That's all I use my pearls for now........blowing off steam but I aint that bad. The working man by rush is usually a good workout. Crank the headphones up and you allways sound good.

   

Riff I am working on is

"Lack Of Communication "

The Vonbondies.

"Rush"
