So much anger?

[UnForqiving]

I'm constantly angry.
I don't know why.
Nothing drastic has happened in my life.
I've been this way for a long time.
I'm always acting mean and rude
I lash out at people very often.
I don't want to anymore.
All this anger is beginning to wear me down.
But I can't seem to stop my actions.
Help?

You should slap yourself every time you do something mean also you apologize for everything you have done (even if you think you have done nothing wrong)it should make you more humble.

^ ..don't do that. at all. that's just going to make you feel horrible about yourself.
and your problem has nothing to do with being not humble.

and as it goes, i have a similar problem! i get angry fast, and i'm naturally aggressive.
i'm passive aggressive, blunt, and not the nicest person out there.

and what i've done is find an outlet for that- i play the cello, and i draw. so if i get ticked
off, i draw, read, or play the cello and those help.

my mom's been trying to get me to take up one type of martial arts or another because i
tend to think about physical aggression a lot (for example, smacking someone with a
snow shovel), and something like kickboxing would be a good outlet for that.

tl;dr: find an outlet- from playing an instrument, drawing until your hands fall off, or something like kickboxing.

This may make me a bad person, but whatever.. I laughed so hard when I pictured that. rofl

OP: I agree with loonaboots. The best way to control your anger and aggression is to channel the energy into something positive. Don't beat yourself up or belittle yourself over it, that could just make you fall into depression or make the anger worse.

nah, it's totally fine- it is a bit of an odd thing to want to do, and i do imagine it in an incredibly
dramatic style (sort of) in my head? so. plus, it would be an odd thing to do.

I don't want to be THAT guy, but maybe try reading some peaceful religious texts, or something like that- even if you don't believe in it, some of the figures have very insightful things to say and have good advice in general. I personally find that sort of thought-provoking activity to be extremely therapeutic. Also, try to get a decent amount of alone time- I know that I get pretty touchy if I don't have enough.
