Date Machine: My RAGE issues - The ANGER MANAGEMENT file..

Posted by zeitgeisty

When it comes to medical questions, I’ve generally found that one of two responses usually clears up most matters:

#1 – “It’s just gas!”
#2 – “Put some hydrogen peroxide on it.”

Things aren’t quite as clear cut when it comes to matters of the heart.

Steering a relationship is much like driving a car, as you drive down the highway of life, you must constantly make these nearly imperceptible corrections at the wheel. Eventually the culmination of all this invisible navigation will get you where you need to go.

Lately I’ve been trying to work on some anger management.

Growing up, my parents constantly fought. It was quite a conflicted household. If they weren’t fighting with each other or my brother and I, then they were embroigled in some boisterous palarva with my grandparents. If it wasn’t with any of us, then it was probably with a waitress at the local diner – usually involving the unacceptable temperature of the soup of the day. You see, my parents enjoyed a hot soup – very hot…SUPER NOVA hot. In fact, if they were ever served up a broth boiling at anything less than the heat index of the surface of the sun, it would send them into fits of apoplexy.

As a result I’ve pretty much avoided soups all my life – but I digress.

Out of all this turmoil, I’ve been left with a quick temper that just leaps out inappropriately the second I feel frustrated. It’s been a major bone of contention with practically anyone I’ve ever gone out with – my current girlfriend being no exception.

The other day she broke down and bawled to me that she couldn’t take any more of my yelling. The girl was visibly upset… I felt horribly. She doesn’t deserve to take the brunt of all my pent up ire. So I’m making an effort, seriously giving it a go, taking a breath and counting to ten. I’m not gonna lie, sometimes it’s tough. It is modifying an intrinsic behavior. My response to most anything is to get angry. On top of everything, I have a naturally loud voice which makes me sound angry when I’m not, and angrier than I am, when I am in fact angry.

Still, yelling at the girlfriend is sort of like yelling at a helpless kitten, it tears your heart out – unless of course that kitten is being a total asshole…fucking kitten.

Deep breath…

I”ve still got some work to do.

All you need is a little operant conditioning.  Tell the little lady to give me a call when you get out of hand -- after a few broken fingers you'll be as well-behaved as an Afghan in Taliban territory.

Perhaps you need a visit to a dominatrix.  Just kidding...

Some people are addicted to their rage and believe themselves entitled.  You don't seem to be one of those.  

Anger is too easy, isn't it?  The rest is work.

For a long time, anger was the emotion I was most in touch with.  Rarely, though, was I a yeller; my approach was to get quiet and vicious.  Anyway, more usefully, I'd suggest to you that having outward anger-management issues reflects an inward anger-management issue.  If you can (and you and Recycled aren't kidding when you say it's work), figure out why you're angry at yourself and then (more work) figure out how to release it (because the self-anger is unwarranted) or how to forgive yourself (if the self-anger warranted).  You're not going to find peace with others until you find peace inside yourself.

The first time you yell at/curse at/abuse someone it's a VERY big deal. The second time, a bit less of a deal. By the 10th time it's "whatever".

It's a slippery slope my friend.

Don't make excuses for yourself (or others that exhibit this behaviour). Own it and make a change. When you fuck up, apologise and try harder. If you find yourself apologising alot, you ain't trying hard enough.

OUR BLOGGERS

FishnetsAndLight

Professional Dominatrix, lapsed English major and token black chick extraordinaire. I'm also a great big perv. Bend over.

Location:New York, New York
Looking for: Those who aren't too afraid.

Zeitgeisty

I'm an existentialist trapped in the body of a rational humanist. I've got a penchant for misanthropy and a flair for the obvious. I'm quick with a joke or a light up your smoke, but there's someplace that I'd rather be. I'm Zeitgeisty, pleased to meet me I'm sure.

Location: Somewhere on the isle of Manhattan...
Looking for: A shining good deed in a weary world...

Airheadgenius

I am a fish out of water - an opinionated cheeky smiling English chick in a land of larger than life Americans. I don't understand the culture. I don't understand asking if we're exclusive. I don't understand this weird practice of decapitating penises. Some days I am definitely MILF material. Other days I feel more like the material on the inside of yer grannys' handbag.

Location: Brooklyn
Looking for: A stunning socialist with a propensity to pick winning lottery numbers

amboabe

I'm a smart ass writer who'll argue your ear off, hold your hand close, and tell you the truth whenever. I'm a fool and a hero, a confessional soul, and lover of life in every conceivably absurd way that it can come. I also paint my toenails.

Location: San Francisco
Looking for: A sail, not an anchor.

spjv840

Slightly neurotic, over-analyzing girl..err, woman, with too much charm for the average person to handle. Has a fondness for red wine, cheap beer and a good time.

Location: The Igloo, Canada
Looking for: Nothing mediocre
