RAGE

[Senip]

Re: RAGE

I used to have rages to the point where I would black out and "wake up" later. It's definitely the flight or fight syndrome maxed out on adrenaline.

Everything used to set me off, when I was younger I beat the unholy hell out of a lot of people for doing things that I disagreed with. For instance, someone slapped his girlfriend at the local video store for getting the wrong movie and I beat his head into the hood of his car. I don't really remember any of it happening, it's more like it happened to someone else and I was just there watching. It's really a wonder that I havent had jail time because of all the vigilante shit I would do.

Nowadays I still get pissed, but I'm a lot better able to control it. I'll punch my steering wheel or do something else, but I havent legitimately lost it (despite really wanting to sometimes) in a long time, although I think that because my gf wasnt around when I was constantly seething she probably thinks I have anger issues, haha. These days when I just cant take shit, I go to the gym and work it out there. Keeps me from killing people.

Cavernio: I think if someone "rages at him/herself," it would imply an extreme anger as a result of vastly underperforming compared to what you know is your potential despite all sincerest efforts.

Re: RAGE

man i guess im just a big baby... everything pisses me off. when im angry i take my bad mood out on anything that frustrates me even the slightest bit... i guess i should probably work on that. when i was a little kid i remember breaking some of my favorite toys just because i was so angry and felt like i needed to do something to display my anger. immediately after i broke them, i felt bad that they didnt work anymore and i just ended up getting even angrier. ive gotten older, but when im really mad i can still get destructive, ive learned that its all about finding the right outlet for your destructive tendencies. sometimes when im drunk and somebody says something to me that i dont like, my blood starts pumping in my head and it gets hard to think straight because im so mad, almost like i got hit in the face with something. when i get like that i truly feel like an animal. maybe i have anger issues... idk. ive never hurt anyone physically out of anger, but thats only because i have never found it necessary... i regret a lot of the mean things i have said to people i love.

ahaha. I did a lot of shithead stuff too, I just read too many fantasy novels as a kid and I have a lot of personal reasons too, for why I tend to lose my shit on things like that.

Re: RAGE

For a second I thought this was about the game from id software.

I've struggled with anger management problems for as long as I care to remember. This hit its peak when I was 14-15 between the stress of moving, being in high school, and frequently getting into fights with my parents. The object of my wrath ceases to be a person--they are an inhuman monster, delighting in my torment and fit only to be beaten to a pulp.

Usually this is a result of sensory overload (asperger's sux), sometimes with a dash of being in a situation I perceive as competitive. When I get overwhelmed, I just want it all to stop.

Re: RAGE

I never really get upset. When I do, it's very bad.

Re: RAGE

Eh forget it I'll describe rage for me I guess

In a nutshell my mind more than usual blanks and literally complete impulse takes over and I am literally doing things as I think of them.

Now in my case, I'm not a physically violent person because of the way my body is (as I'm not muscular but I am not fat either.) I'm verbally abusive sometimes though if you haven't noticed even when I'm irritated this comes out worse than usual. So when I say this next part keep this in mind.

When I'm raging I pretty much stop thinking of repercussions of anything and everything it's not like seeing red, but it's not that I'm completely aware consciously what I am doing is wrong, but I have an extreme tenancy to throw things really hard...


So things like this happen:

Keep in mind these were thrown across the room once. and since I am not physically strong I was surprised when I did it how little effort it felt it took.

But sadly that pair of headphones weren't my first item I broke via throwing.

2 mice (one during an official mind you.)
1 logitech headset (it still functions but both ears are broken off tom the middle section, on separate occasions)
1 pair of headphones (thrown once)
1 keyboard (I would grab my mouse and proceed to smash the keys in with it.)

But this is strictly to FFR cases.

In person I've slammed people into lockers (friends of mine actually they'd just annoyed me on a really bad day.)

I kicked a locker in gym class 'cause some ass hat stole an Ipod from me, along with my headphones.

Pretty much when I'm pissed it's extremely clear in my case.

I've also had a tenancy to raise my voice to what someone told me was "worse than a drill Sargent." Which apparently scared a girl who knew me in High School to the point where she wouldn't come near me. (This sounds like bull shit I'm aware.)

Pretty much impulse literally takes complete control, I become somewhat Physically violent and yell a lot. But I also stop thinking about what I am saying so like anything can come out, in short anything personal I know about you becomes instant ammunition for me to make you feel like complete shit.

Edit: forgot to add, when I talk to people in person I tend to avoid eye contact completely. If I'm angry is the only time you can get me to look at you directly without asking me to do so. I don't know why this is but it just is.

But this is just me though.

Edit2: I guess it'd be fair to blurt some ways I keep in under control. I tend to calm down by simply laying on my bed or something comfortable, sometimes I just clean like a mad man, which leads some people to think I'm ocd because my room is rarely ever unclean and I can even tell you where things are even if it's not.

Re: RAGE

My fist automatically hits people in the face when they yell.

Re: RAGE

I'll admit I get pretty upset when I fail at something or can't meet my own or other people's expectations, and it results in a mix between anger and sadness/temp depression which makes me occationally get voilent towards inanimate things :\

Re: RAGE

When I'm very pissed, my eyes get an evil look and I become the meanest/most cynical person I know. And when I rage I clench my muscles and start speaking too loud.

That's about it

Re: RAGE

FFRage only happens to me when I feel like I am under-performing even though I am giving the same effort as a time before. Kind of ridiculous for me to get angry at a game, even if I'm not doing that bad. But then of course, I end up going on a spiral downward and tend to start overtapping on my keyboard, laughing like an idiot, or pounding down on my desk.

This of course happens a lot with some FPS's like CoD, Battlefield, and Halo. Due to the feeling of "unfair" when I seem to be dying at a rate higher than normal or not getting kills with the same ease as earlier in the day. The worst that has resulted was me punching a door and putting a hole in it. To this day I tell myself I am an idiot for actually breaking something in rage over a video game.

Rage that happens from day to day encounters is actually not something that happens very often with me, unless someone touches a sore subject and keeps going with it... that's when I go from zero to sixty and start threatening to punch someone in the face. Never have been in a fight though, and have never punched someone in the face, as it is just a ridiculous threat with no means to solve any problem.

I find peace if I leave the situation, think about the situation critically, and then address it later when I have calmed down.

Re: RAGE

I don't get a blank mind when I rage. The breaking point, where I will suddenly snap, is at irritation, and I think when I rage it just grows up from there. To me it's not so much loss of impulse control but rather I have impulses that I otherwise wouldn't have, and it's very satisfying to react to those impulses.

Re: RAGE

Damn, I can't believe nobody mentioned TeRa in this thread lol

Back on topic, my rage is a rather touchy matter. I don't know too many people here that have firing ranges, but I do. When I get upset, I go to my firing range with all the weapons I have (I have a 12 gauge and .22) and just let it rip. Most of the time though, I don't get upset. I just don't. The last time I remember going full out screaming and being fucking scary as shit was a looooong time ago, I barely even remember. That's my story~
