Anyone else almost never get angry?

[jpgray]

The most I can get these days is mild frustration. The "angriest" I've been in the past few months was yesterday when I changed the toilet paper roll and the two plys (plies?) separated. They will never be joined together again. :cry: The time before that I was tossing pasta with some sauce and one of the noodles fell into the tiny crack between the counter and the stove with a bunch of sauce. To be fair that had Turmeric in it, so part of my kitchen that nobody sees is going to be forever yellowish.

Most things that other people get hugely upset about don't bother me. Driving and relationship issues being two of those things.

2. Fuck you.

3. I didn't used to get angry

Anger scared me when I was young because my mother was angry all the time and liked to throw and break things.
Now I get angry sometimes. I expect that I am still inhibited about anger. I don't get drunk anymore because it turns out I am a very angry person.

5. I'M AS HAPPY AS A DAMN CLAM.

6. I hardly ever get really REALLY angry....

Happiness suits me! Big surprise......NOT!

I can (and do) get annoyed......but it doesn't really stick very long...

The only thing that really pisses me off is the goddam dipwad admin. we are currently saddled with...:grr:

Life is too short to walk around being angry, IMHO.....

:hi:

[leftofthedial]

7. my baseline is so totally fucking pissed off

at what the capitalists and the religiously insane have done to the world

that little shit that happens is a welcomed distraction

[NMDemDist2]

8. I am amazingly even tempered

and it's mostly good :evilgrin:

[XemaSab]

9. You seriously just made me

:spray: all over the keyboard.

[Laelth]

10. I have little patience with those who anger easily.

My usual reaction is, "If that's all you've got to be upset about, then you're a pampered brat who has no idea what life is like for most Americans." I have this reaction most Republican "faux" outrage.

11. I don't so much get angry,

as I get really disgusted.

[Droopy]

12. If you've ever been through seriously hard times in life

and come out the other side intact you will forever be even tempered.

17. Thank you

Here's to life :toast:

[dolo amber]

23. I'm pretty sure we're on the same wavelength here

;)

:toast: indeed.

[no name no slogan]

16. Best. Post. EVER.

That is the truth on so many levels. :toast:

[Droopy]

18. Thanks, man

:toast: back at you.

[enigmatic]

26. you got it, bro

I wouldn't wish my life on anybody, but when I came up from the bottom I gained a balance in my temperament that hasn't wavered...

[jpgray]

30. It ain't necessarily so

I've known some people who went through horrible times and emerged just as capricious and emotionally unstable as ever. But yeah, in general if you've ever been denied the essential superfluities of life for extended periods, it helps you not yell like an idiot when someone cuts you off in traffic and costs you maybe thirty seconds of time.

13. Not outwardly.

On the inside is another matter. ;)

[Random_Australian]

14. Not even the little things bother me. Never angry,

and for the longest time as wasn't anything. I've been so suprised at being happy the past few weeks.... I had almost forgotten what is was to be happy, sad, excited, apathetic, worried, joyous..... now that I have reason to feel happy, I'm postively jumping in ecitement... the reason I don't get annoyed at the small stuff is it's such a novelty, it makes up for itself, thus removing itself instantly, and remaining a novelty... joy is me.

19. It is "plies," not "plys." Since you asked.

31. Thanks. Since you answered

20. I rarely get angry.

I've always been pretty even tempered. I seem to get most angry when I see someone else get hurt or taken advantage of. I know I can take care of myself, so I don't get angry when someone does something bad to me. I just stop associating with them. I'm big on "fool me once, shame on you---fool me twice, shame on me." Also, Maya Angelou's quote, "If someone shows you who they are, believe them", has helped me avoid a lot of trouble and grief in my life. As a Buddhist, I learned to associate with like minded people. And, anger seems to hurt the one feeling it more than it does the one the anger is directed at.

[blue neen]

21. Not angry so much as weary.

I try so hard to be patient and live life with grace.

[In_The_Wind]

22. Most of the time that's me!

[NMMNG]

24. With the current political climate,

the fundies doing what they do, the Iraq war and everything else going on, the only way I could avoid being angry on a fairly regular basis would be a steady supply of Xanax or some other benzodiazepine.

[Oeditpus Rex]

25. Right idea, wrong med class

Maybe. Different folks have different chemistries. Your mileage may vary.

I used to be infamous for my anger, but since I've been on Lexapro, stuff that would once have had me smacking my mouse on the desk now just makes me mutter under my breath.

Anger can be a symptom of depression. I didn't know that until recently.

[NMMNG]

27. Possibly

Of course, antidepressants never did a thing for me. I had to go on mood stabilizers for any appreciable effect on my moods. I'm about to go back to the doctor for a new medication for my migraines which just happens to be an anticonvulsant also used for mood stabilization. Who knows? It might just help out with the moods as well.

[Oeditpus Rex]

28. Y'never know

Better Living Through Modern Chemistry™, yeah. But it's also like a box of chocolates.

I hope you do real good on it. :hug:

[NMMNG]

29. Thanks

And it is indeed "like a box of chocolates". I've been working for over 20 years trying to find the right cocktail of treatments and haven't found just the right one yet. :shrug:

[SOteric]

32. ~Almost~ never.

I can't recall when, but I'm pretty sure it's happened before.

[AlienGirl]

33. I internalize it and grow a tumor instead

[Strong Atheist]

34. No. nt.
