What do you do to calm down when someone close to you pisses you off?
#FeelFreeToList
Walk away. Then I try to detach the the sin from the sinner. Most people aren’t inherently bad, but they enact bad actions because they’re broken in some way shape or form. Being able to look past the bad deed and understand that it rarely has to do with me has given me so much more freedom in my life. I used to walk away and hold resentment, and therefore my happiness and peace was dependent upon if they were willing to apologize and make things right.
Being able to walk away, mentally forgive them, and empathize with their why even when you I were done wrong is empowering. Remember that forgiveness is not reconciliation. When someone cuts me off on the road, puts me down at work, or my wife is being pissy… I try and forgive as quickly as I can because I don’t want to weight of resentment to hold me down. I don’t tolerate bad behavior towards me, but I do mentally forgive bad behavior. I will cut you from my life if you cross me too harshly, but I will forgive you even if I made the decision to cut you out of my life. My ex cheated on me. I forgive her, but she’s now an ex by my decision. Hope this makes sense.
It does. Forgive but dont forget and dont repeat. Wash and rinse
well where I grew up there was only one way to resolve an issue and come out clean on the other side.
First I'm like this:
Then I'm Like this:
Then a little bit of this
And then the conclusion goes something like this:
Used to be haha
Before I lost my car, I'd go for a bass cruise.
Just put my favorite playlist on and bass my brains out.
Kinda exhilarating when you're so into your music and people on the block see a cop just sat with you at a red light n rolls their window down to smile n give thumbs up n don't give no citation.
Like yeahhhhhhh bitchesssssss 🤣
Gahaha
If it is very bad. I cry a bit. Or take a deep breath. Or listen to music. Or take a walk. Depending on the degree of anger and the situation I find myself in.
But damn your methods sounds so much cooler.
Haha they are :)

Best to give one another plenty of space until cooler heads prevail.
"Words unspoken require NO apologies".
Physical wounds often heal, emotional ones RARELY do.
When as a police officer, and we had to referee domestic disturbances, foremost TWO officers interviewing parties separately and trying to have one of the couple spend the night elsewhere to prevent re-flare-up.
In morning's light, often cooler heads would prevail.
Sounds good
Im a master in the arts Jedi mind blocking a person could be talking and IL be thinking about what IM going to do later that day it thinking about something else other than whatever whack people that are around me then someone would say did u hear what those rude people said I'm like huh who and kept it moving aslong no one physically steps on my kicks they safe from me💪🏽😂😂
Haha
I ignore them to piss them off more 🤣. I'm just now learning the art of ignoring people. It does more damage than giving them a reaction. This is in person only. As far as on gag I like to troll back. They can't get me via phone🤣..
I listen to music, go for a walk, drive , gym, work
Shit it eats me up if i sit quietly. I have to react and get last word lmao
I’m usually calm when I’m mad. I don’t ignore my feelings. I let them know what’s bothering me and try to resolve the issue so it doesn’t become bigger. If they’re not willing to, then I become very quiet in their presence
And that alone brings a heavy energy everyone feels.
I hate negativity and I try to avoid it at all costs but some people can be stubborn in their ways
Yea i wasn't gonna tell em why i was mad cause they know exactly what they did. So i just left em on read instead
Yeah if they wanna make peace or amends after i tried and failed, im wiling to. I try to be understand and forgiving for my own well being lol
Depending on the type of fight we got into. Walking away and calming down is the best option. Just don't let that emotion consume you and start dragging you down.
It didn't consume me. But the casino diiiid 🙌
Yes those will suck you right in won't let go. Although I don't play a lot, it's fun.
Well i made bank so im good
I try not to get upset over things I have no control over. If someone does something that pisses me off, that's their issue, not mine. I just move on to something else.
It is both your issue if it involves you
I just avoid talking to that person for a while and eventually I get over being mad. I don't like holding too many grudges
After i get the last word then yes i won't talk to em for a few hours
I usually go to the beach and sit in the back of my truck and listen to the waves and look at the stars
Damn i’d love that
They'll proper catch a good cursing.
I've been a lot more confrontational recently than usual.
Same
I open up my note pad on my phone and type out the things I'd like to say and vent it all out in my head. Walk away for day or two and reread what I wrote.
It tends to get me to calm down and achieve true clarity on the issue.
Gym, specifically the heave bag. I'll go out there and beat that thing like it owes me money. You'll hear the chains rattle all the way in the house
I want a bag to best tf up real
Talk
The one at a store over here is like $175
Work out, take a shower then take a nap
Take a nap
Take a shower then take a nap
Other things then take a nap
Lmao these naps
Isolate myself in my room/try to talk it out with the person. It’s one or the other for me lol
Oh im a talker so im gonna get the last word for sure
@DizzyDesii story of my life 😭
Any thing and everything. Stay away from this person for minimum half an hour. Slow down. Running to jogging, jogging to walking, walking to stand still, stand still to sit down, sit down to lay down, jump in pool if possible. Swim couple of laps. Go for a walk. And if this person keep doing it every so often. You need to make permanent distance.
Thanks for like!
Most definitely not spend money, lol.
It depends what and who. If work is being annoying, I probably just stop working for the day and complain to a friend.
I mean work was annoying Thursday so i skipped work Friday. Work is not the reason i was mad Friday
If I have money and all the bills been payed it's retail therapy and getting a mani pedi. If I'm low on funds I'll usually just go home, take a relaxing bath, make my favorite meal, and watch Netflix
Either walk away or if I have to stay around them try my best to ignore themq
Definitely ignore em
I’m starting to lose self control. I don’t calm down anymore I start going off.
Girl yes thats what i did
Punch them in the throat... I immediately feel better.
If they lived nearby, i’d be tempted
Try to take a step back and really try to understand how they came to the decision they did. Likely it wasn't a decision to piss you off just for the sake of pissing you off. I think you are able to really get into there frame of thought, you'll probably see that they either are not aware of how their decision has affected you, or it was a decision made out of their own pain that they're dealing with.
If you're able to understand why they did what they did, you don't likely help you not be so upset with that person. Most people want to be good to others, but lack of information, past trauma, general unhappiness, can cause us all to hurt the people we love.
Nah he doesn't get a pass this time
Oh, that kind of hurt. Same reasonings are likely the issue, but people do need to start learning the hard way that they can't just do what they want. Sometimes leaving a person is the only thing that will help them grow.
I'm calm down, my emotions go away in less than 5 minutes and I start to think what is best solution for this particular problem.
