Anger will make a man hard like stone, like steel.
If you are hard you will will shatter, but strong only bends.
The sword may be grateful to the forge, but never fond.
You are forging your soul in the fires of pain.

Anger has been a good source of motivation for me as I am normally an unmotivated piece of shit. It usually leaves me feeling exhausted.

Yeah I ran my fastest mile when I was angry. I don't like,it though. I wish I could do more with a sort of quiet resolve. I guess I'll just need to work on it. Perhaps it's just an evolved defense mechanism?

Its only useful if its directed towards yourself, against others it is empty, transient, and vain. Anger against others doesnt solve anything but create a vast growing hatred

Just from experience.

To Let it all out when you're in serious trouble

I got jumped by 4 nogs at night and just let it all out. It saved me and made me feel alive

Start boxing and turn your anger in a skill

Yeah I feel this is an issue. There are some people I just don't care for though. They seem so stupid as to not warrant it. Maybe it's also I'm just angry at myself. Hm

It's not like I'm an angry person. I just have a negative background feeling. Like you see people that smile throughout the day and I'm not one of those people. I've been asking myself simple questions lately. Should I be like those happier people? What else would I be? Would it be right?
How do you guys feel?

>>39435554
How do you deal with someone angry at you? When you feel you've done nothing wrong? So someones angry at me for not doing some thing but i wasn't explicitly told to. If they're going to be angry over that I'm just going to refuse to care for them. Why would I care about you? However in apathy am I capable of worse? I should probably try talking to, but what if we reach an argument bedrock and disagree on principle? I feel like it's too simple, but reducing things to love and hate seems naive at best. Although to stop a fight all the two have to do is nothing

>>39435554
Why ever be mean? Because someone is to you? But then do you not enter a cycle of violence then?

No thanks senpai that seems too up its own butt. I mean I get being against inaction but anger isn't the right reaction or word

Anger is a moral tool. Use it to guide your actions, not consume them.

>>39437621
That makes more sense, but using emotions seems like a thing r9k would chastise girls for lol

>>39435554
being able to control and question your anger is a sign of emotional maturity. if you can rein in your anger, you interpersonal relationships will definitely benefit.

>>39437641
Girls are controlled by emotions. Not the same thing.
If you feel angry that somebody cuts you in line, you don't act on it and bash their head in. But you do keep note of who did in, because it's a dick move.

>>39435554
eventually you learn to just bottle it up and hide it somewhere inside to explode at an inappropriate time

>>39435554

Anger might be all i have left

>>39435554
Come to /pol/, we could use you comrade.

>>39437702
Lol true. I wonder if I should just explain the situation as if from a bird's eye view to the other.

>>39437710
This doesn't strike me as the healthiest way to deal with it lol. Could you get swole though?

>>39437736
Wouldn't you rather want some more calm and constructed discourse? Like your sticky says.

Anger aimed at things you can't control is basically self pity
And self pity is by all means the least valuable emotion imagineable to humankind.

But anger aimed that things that you can control, distinctly YOURSELF, is orders of magnitude better than "self-love"

You die anyway so any damage anger does to you lies in the dirt.

>>39437832
I feel like I throw a lot of pity parties. It's a weird thing. Maybe I just want things to be too prefect

Anger is a young mans tool. It will serve you well for a long time. But cynicsm and nihilism will take it's place eventually.
