I always felt like somewhat of a nutcase for getting pissed off at stuff not working/going my way (shout at the pc until you figure out how to get the driver working again).

Jogging/biking: get pissed, the burning anger gets you through.

In an odd way anger manages to focus me but it’s just not a healthy way to live :/

Edit/Disclaimer: I never said I shout at people.

Nah. It affects impulse control.

Its good if you don't yell at your computer, healthy if you think that is a bit nuts. It makes people and yourself feel bad.

Again, I never said I shout at other people.

Why does everyone immediately draw that conclusion? I do that shit in private like any other decent nutcase thank you very much.

I never said that you did.

Well you kinda imply it by saying it makes people feel bad. Unless you mean people feel bad when they shout themselves. But that feels like a weird way of stating that.

I didn't imply that

Ok, what did you mean by “ it makes =>people<= and yourself feel bad” then? (You know, clarifying a statement goes a long way…)

When you shout at a computer, several things happen that makes people (including yourself) feel badly: For instance, people that are nearby can get scared and become wary. In addition, screaming can go through several walls or reach anyone passing by outside and they may not assume that you are shouting at a machine which can be very threatening and for certain people. I don't think I need to go on, but I'll add this as it seems it may be of help; your frustration is carried with you if you don't let it out, but a good way to make sure that you carry it around your neck much longer, is to scream and act out on what's nearby. Impulse control is a form of processing even if it feels great to give in to anger. Was definitely not obvious to me at least
