Does anyone know how to not be so pissed off all the time?

When it comes to work, I can't help it. Something that shouldn't bug me really is... but I can't help it. I'm just fucking pissed. It's like I've turned into my father or something.

you don't want to be like your parents! Actually, I've been perpetually angry since November of 2000, so I don't exactly know what to tell you. And THEN they took away the NHL.....

are when I stay away from all news sources for a few weeks, or when I'm pining over the neighbor I've fallen in love with--then I'm just sad. Pissed off, or sad. Take your pick!

I think I'll go eat some worms.

:smoke:

is when I'm listenin to music or am skateboardin'. Just find an escape.

I know with me, my problem is that I care about what I do and I get really irritated because most of my co-workers don't really give a shit. Which makes my job harder.

It's tough for me to step back from it and be philosophical. Still, that's what I have to attempt. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. So I guess I don't really have any sage advice.

Keep training to be capable of riding 100 miles at a time.

Kinda puts things in a different perspective, and it beats smoking (dope) and/or drinking.


:hi:

According to Dr. Phil. Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia recommends orgies, tho. Who to believe? Who to believe...

That'll make you feel better


Seriously though buddy, I feel your pain. I hate everyone too

It just doesn't matter....

It just doesn't matter.....

It just doesn't matter............

Things do matter! And the sooner people realize that they do matter and stop acting like the fucktards that they are, the more peace I'll have.

Peace comes from within. It comes from the understanding that you, and ONLY you, can control your fate, and your happiness.

ladle out in such great abundance. Pray for nuclear war!

Anger just breeds more anger, within yourself and for those who have to deal with you. It's a self-perpetuating cycle.

Don't stress about shit that you can't control. Other people get to you only because you let them. Your anger lets outside influences take charge of your emotions and your life.

is not letting people in by choice. They all need to die!

as the solely responsible for other's callous manner. I believe one of the reasons the society has been in such a bad state is people do not take some responsibility for another person's reaction to them. In other words, too much of this how some uncaring jerks - like the ones HeyHey is talking about - have no respect or interest with how they react towards someone else.

home and not having them die in the drunk driving accidents they so richly deserve. May they vomit in their sleep and choke to death on it!

'Cause with or without you, the sun is comin' up tomorrow!

do with anything? Well the sun is going to rise tomorrow and I will be a part of the new dawn.

It only makes you look like jerk, too, and perpetuates the cycle of callous anger.

Set a better standard, be an example of how to act correctly. Don't play the road rage game, shoot 'em a smile and wave instead of the finger. Nothing gets an angry person's goat like a person who won't play the game.

:D

bottle the anger up.

Next time I'm getting shit on I'm unleashing a torrent of my own shit!

is being a victim.

Case in point, I feel great right now, but you guys are pissed off. Who's the victim? Me? Don't think so. I'm gonna get laid by my wife and sleep like a baby tonight. Sounds like you're just gonna seethe with resentment. Who's the victim in THAT scenario?

At the end of the day, none of it really matters. You'll never see that as long as you let others control you like that.

Ignoring something is a reaction.

...responses rather than blind anger and invective. It just doesn't get anyone anywhere. Angry people are just no fun. They die early of stress related diseases. They make life miserable for everyone.

React with something other than anger and hatred. THAT's what I advocate.

Also an early death doesn't sound so bad

explain to the unbelievers about how important it is to lay down the smack.

planes on 911. The fact of the matter is people have told to mellow out so long that they have lost basic good judgement on when they are actually being attacked.

But keep that on the downlow. It's a great secret.

:P

Nice guys finish last and don't attract women.

Be pissed off.

Kick some ass.

Slug someone.

(re-)read Fight Club.

Next, we'll fight about whose God is bigger.

is to "hate thyself as thy neighbor". And more power to him for that

On edit: actually he probably doesn't hate himself. But I'm sure there are some warped fellows out there who do that act, and I respect them immensely

...but they're YOU'RE problems and not mine, thank goodness. You have to live with yourself, but fortunately I do not. Therefore, I bid you a good night and happy trails.

I hear a beer calling my name, and it's very insistent.

as probably been said before, the worse people are the ones who so criticize another person's beliefs either have the problem themselves or are supposedly "recovered" from the issue. Happy therapy!

be angry!!

Just as I have the right to be perfectly happy. And what Republican stuff are you talking about? You guys sound WAY more Republican than I ever will. They're the party of righteous and miserable indignation, as I remember.

I'm just a happy-go-lucky Democrat, with Green overtones.

Peace, my Brother!

Enough is enough. I'll wave you off with a hearty hi-ho as my cold beer awaits me.

Sleep good, my curmudgeonly friend.

:smoke:

Hard to be pissed when your on the nod...

So if you think I'm giving it away for free, forget it! :evilgrin:

Maybe you've got a right to be angry!

It's a saying I heard once (Zen Buddhist? Buddhist? Whatever.)

We are not punished FOR our anger, we are punished by it.

And, as it turns out, it's true. Our bodies pump out all sorts of ugly chemicals and toxins when we have negative emotions.

You might try some sports or something -- my mother used to go pull weeds whenever she got good and mad.

You might try to find out what is at the BOTTOM of your anger. Usually there's something from childhood or even a lot of things from childhood that are unresolved.

I always found that a sense of powerlessness was underneath -- way down there at the very bottom -- of my own anger and rage.

Heavy, fast, aggressive music is a tremendous anger outlet. Probably the sole reason I haven't murdered anyone yet. A nice bong hit never hurts either. Chill dude.

keeps me mellow. It took me alot of years but I have reached mellow.....lol

I tried it once, and it kept me in a coma.

how much were you taking. I'm not even to the middle dosage. I quit prozac because of the voices....... Triazadone mucho better

which was considered the minimum therapeutic dose at the time. I don't know how anyone could possibly take that much and not be asleep 24/7. Prozac makes you hear voices?:scared:

I should have quit it earlier. Last summer I had to quit it and a week latter started the Triazadone. I'm up to 75. It makes me sleepy enough to sleep and I don't wake up groggy. If I had been on the prozac election night..... well lets just say it could have been disastrous. I wasn't well off even with the triazadone.......

Tough to self-examine, but I realized as a young mother that I was getting pissed off at all the things my mom got pissed off at when I was a kid.

One day I stoppped and realized that I really wasn't pissed about those things - I just THOUGHT I should be pissed about things because my mom got pissed about those things. My revelation happened while I was sweeping the floor. My mother had a sacred rule about not stepping through the swept-up pile, and she really would go off about it ( there were other issues for her, just as there are for each of us, but the walking through her swept up dirt was one of her "triggers.")

After that day, i started examining my own triggers and why i reacted to certain things the way I did.

I still get muy pissed at things, but it's gotten better as I've grown older and realize I don't know jack shit and all my worry, rage, fear and frustration don't impact a frickin' thing.

Just words from someone who hopes you are feeling better, HEyHEY :hug:
