How Do You Deal With Outbursts

[Aztec Triogal]

Some times people are passionate over strange things. Some times people have outbursts, whether they are inspired by happiness, sadness, anger, or jealousy. How do you suppress them? Does the outburst often win or do you hold it in? What emotion usually overcomes you? Which can you usually suppress?

I'm very good at surpressing my feelings no matter which one it may be and can't recall ever having an outburst.

I think it's because during school I was always very shy and didn't like any attention whatsoever so I kept quiet. Therefore my emotions were always very well hidden and that was the way I liked it.

These days I'm a lot more confident and I am able to show happiness around people but when it comes to anger and sadness I bottle it up because I don't really know how to deal with it and I'm still a little scared to try.

It's not something I do (getting angry or upset with people) so usually if it's really upsetting me I just don't talk to whomever made me hurt (for like a day until I cool down) and just pretend nothing happened.

It's most definitely not the healthiest option mentally but everyone has their flaws. An outburst may be what I need. =0

Usually the only outbursts that occur around my house are between my sister acting like a bitch and shit-talking my mother for trying to make her go to school and stop worrying about her stupid friends who are neck-deep in shit she doesn't need to be dragged into, so it gets me pretty pissed. I usually just ignore it when I'm up, though.

But when you wake me up with that shit, you're really barking up the wrong fucking tree.

I'll usually throw an enormous bitchfit if my sister wakes me up with her bickering until she shuts up or runs off somewhere, but sometimes I'll just be pissed off and say nothing.

I tend to hold the outburst in. I'm not the type that would lash out on someone just because he or she has pissed me off. I'm very quiet about it and would stay silent for as long as I can. Sure it would seem very obvious to a lot of people that something's wrong, and I may come across rude but it's not really my intention. I just don't really know how to actually break from that trance spell unless my husband really coax me out of it. And I know he has a hard time doing it because I refuse to be coaxed out yet at the same time I'm trying to find a way out of it. Weird, I know. It's not healthy, I know, and I can say that the mind is one powerful evil tool, but it is something that's been worrying me for the past 2 months now. Sure I act all jovial around people but that's just the outside layer. I don't know, maybe it is much better to just let things out since keeping it in doesn't seem to be doing me any good. And it involves all feelings - things that would set me off for very little to no reason at all.

Ah well, it'll pass. Some days are better than others. When I am in a good mood, I'm really in a good mood and act like a clown sometimes, to a point that my daughter would say, "Silly mommy!"

Generally, I can hide or suppress most outbursts of emotion, since I'm more likely to be quiet or ignore someone rather than lash out.

I'm better at showing happiness and junk, since that's easy and generally, it doesn't cause people to fall out with you. If I feel really strongly about something, I will passionately debate it, until it gets to the point where I feel like the other person has either got my point, or just isn't listening to me - then I go quiet.

I only ever really get angry with people if they've been pissing me off for the longest times, and then I tend to just explode with anger. It's probably not the healthiest thing to do, but it works. I think in the past 12 months I've only got really pissed off about 4 times. And twice it was directed at the same person

I've definitely posted in this exact thread before >.>
And simply put, I very, very rarely have outbursts, it's rather pointless to be honest and all it does is show that whoever is annoying you is clearly getting to you so outbursts just show you have an inability to control the situation.

It's easier to control outbursts over the internet though, because you know fine well people only say things because you know they wouldn't say it to you face to face...unless it's personal attacks which people understandably get upset about.

when its something sad, i get all wet n stuff.....
anger....nothing, like a stone...
happy....nothing...
only one person can make me laugh actually......so you can try but yeh...ull fail...

 

[Big Casino]

Hmmm it depends on the subject. Im not that easily offended really and i can pretty much hold back the urge to scream and shout at someone. If however its a subject that offends me i will get angry instantly. As for arguments over the net they can be more annoying as you cant actually get it out ur system face to face with the person
All round though im really quite a laid back guy.

 

[FallenAngel]

I'm pretty bad with my emotions.
I tend to... just go totally physco Most the times when i get mad. When i'm sad or stressed i tend to bottle it up it's just the way i operate.
It's pretty bad actually
I have no problem when im happy... cos, theres no worries y'know? nada zip zero.
yeah so sometimes you could say im emtionally unstabled okay well, not really. idk im confusing myself
Some people say im Bipolar though

I've become gradually more calm in stressful situations over the past year or so and it'll probably be down to nothing but maturity. Nothing grates on me so much that it's impossible to deal with rationally -- I may not say the right things but I never lose control.
