Do you stay mad for long?

Question

Lol i can't. Im just too happy of a person. I start smiling again within an hour or less. My grandma pissed me off with her depressive crying and i snapped. I was no longer mad by the next hour but im stubborn and can't bring myself to apologize immediately so i just called her today. But honestly about anything, i can't stay mad at anyone for long. I may block you and still find you fake af lol but i probably stopped being mad that same day. I just love to smile and be happy. Its too awesome

I don't get mad easily.

Takes a lot but when it happens I am really mad. That said it's not long-lasting rage. Pretty good at releasing anger but the effects of the event may last longer

Like I've been sleighted by people that I ended up cutting out of my life. And while I forgave them I did not let them back into my life and they took that as me still being mad when I wasn't.

I just didn't trust them anymore and thought they had some work to do on themselves before I'd consider having them back in my circle of trust

Well, I get mad for like 15 minutes or so. And then over it. But, then we have people who want to keep bringing it up. And then I get mad again. But I still let it go. I have my father’s calmness. And my egg donors temper. And because my father taught me how to control it. I let shit go fast. Lol

Grudge holder here. If you do something to piss me off or betray me, just know that I'm going to forever look at you sideways.

molonski2 · Answer

You know , its a good question , when I was young I always told myself " Stay angry " , not sure why , all circumstances , competitive sport , school , people in various situations , not sure why I felt the need to " hang on " to this anger.
Now , I appreciate life is many shades of grey and I think the exact opposite , In Thailand a well used saying in " Sabai Sabai " , which kinda translates to " it doesn't mater , what will be will be , dont worry " , I can't stay mad now , experience has helped me access the initial problem , frankly the problem is often me.
I just let go and " Sabai Sabai " ..

AdithyaR · Answer

Oh I can hold grudges for very long time and I'm hilariously petty.

Some of my friends once made fun of me when we went out to eat cause I was recovering from good poisoning and only could eat bland veggies. They teased me while they ate meat and dairy desserts. I got so petty that anytime I get a chance to cook (I live in a college dorm), I don't let them have any while I let my friends who didn't tease me try it.

doctorwow · Answer

Life's to grand to keep upset, I've always been a half full kinda guy anyways. I mean I've gotten mad enough before were I've punched shit and lashed out at others but with time I've learned it doesn't help so keep calm smoke one or drink a beer it'll get better

TheorionMage · Answer

The French have a maxim: "Vengeance is a dish BEST SERVED, 'cold'..."

Spontaneous impulses provide but a BRIEF satisfaction and SELDOM a 'teachable moment'...

CuriousJC · Answer

I'm a fuse blown type of mad person. Depends on the situation such as family or relationships or friends, I would get mad but then after a few beers and some video games. I won't even remember what happened for me to get mad in the first place. That's why I put my brain on reset every day to start off fresh for the new day. Too much crap happened in a person's life that keep that person thinking about it constantly without just letting it go.

MotorcycleMan · Answer

I would far rather be happy, and it's literally my choice. If I decide someone is a piece of crap, I don't have to be angry with them for who they are, they make their own choices. I also don't want to let who someone else decides to be, be an influence on who I am or how happy I am. I like to think I'm happy by default, although sometimes it may take a little more work ;)

AviatorTom · Answer

No, I try to be level headed and don't get mad that often. When I do, though, I get really mad and blow up... nothing physical though. After that, I calm down pretty quickly. There's no point in staying mad about something you probably have no control over.

Snsns · Answer

No if I was any more laid-back I'd be dead... The longest I've been mad is maybe 20 minutes... But you have to really piss me off... I just can't be bothered to feel mad... I don't like feeling negative feelings... I try to be happy no matter what the circumstances cos were all gonna eventually die anyway... Feeling mad or sad is jus waste of time to me

Birdlegs · Answer

I rarely get mad in the first place. I can count on one hand the amount of times I’ve genuinely been angry. Once I hit highschool I became a very emotionally mature person.

andreasderjuengere · Answer

I don't get mad, actually. It may happen that I have an immediate ''passionate'' comment. But a second later, I'm already into trouble shooting.
There is no ''problem'' that can't be solved.
If I WOULD allow myself to get mad, then I'd be in a permanent state of violent interaction with the world.
Life is too short for that :D

pretyyygirl · Answer

No even though sometimes I want to and I laugh if the person starts smiling. The longest I've been mad for was about 15 minutes

Pandupillu · Answer

I can't. It just doesn't come naturally to me. I get angry if someone is being stupid. But I can't retain that anger for long. My mother sometimes does things that make me angry, I get angry for like 2-3 minutes and then I am off. In fact just yesterday my mother was telling me "oh look, how so and so's daughter does so so and so thing" I said to her " I also do things for you but you never mention it" then she was like "ya I'll mention them when I am talking to someone else about you obviously, are you getting jealous?" I said "no why would I be jealous but it irritates me that you never ever mention the things that I do for you, and plus grass appears greener on the other side". I got so pissed off yesterday. I remained pissed off for like 5 minutes. Then we were back to talking normal.

kellytheman · Answer

I rarely get mad or raise my voice and i am pretty laid back. You would have to do something really awful to me to get mad. I get mad when a past girlfriend had sex in my bed with another guy it was a good thing he left before I got my hands on him and I threw the girl out of my apartment.

Alyssa11 · Answer

Im exactly the same. It’s not in my DNA to stay mad

humpbackjack · Answer

When I was younger there were a lot of situations with dudes where it was fight on site for years but now that I’m older I’d rather not waste a lot of energy on that kinda shit plus nowadays win or lose it hurts to much never when it’s happening but when that adrenaline wears off you can feel every old injury

serious · Answer

Depends on what happened and what they did. If they did something which was unforgivable in my view then neither do I forget that nor do I ever forgive them.

Shizunk · Answer

I think my average is about 3min. The one time I got slightly upset at work people were worried because they never had the opportunity to see that before :-D

Jinsoyun · Answer

When I get mad I try and stay that way but I usually just cool. down and make up even if I was in the wrong... it happens every time

ChiTown33 · Answer

Generally no. I do have my triggers though and they're like open wounds you only need brush them. I am getting better about letting even those go. Life is too short

PAcc92 · Answer

It comes to a point where hating a person takes energy, energy that they're not worthy of. Time makes the memory of the injury fade, and all you're left with is the cost of maintaining the anger.

AndrewMG · Answer

No I'm a laid back guy, I'm slightly disappointed I haven't got an arch enemy... I feel my life is incomplete lol

Belgie · Answer

No. I'm pretty mellow and easy going. Life's too short to be otherwise.

I try not to stay mad for too long, life is too short.

Crepe_tart · Answer

Yeah, but I kinda let it go when I forget about it.

Jouth · Answer

Hell yes. I am rage incarnate. I can use my anger to drive myself to work harder and do better in life. But I don't allow myself to stay angry at people, because they don't deserve that and it just makes things complicated. I utilize a more general anger if that makes sense.

King_Dive · Answer

> My grandma pissed me off with her depressive crying and i snapped.

Yeah because that's what a happy person does, they just yell at people already crying from depression. You're not happy, you're dismissive, big difference.

TonyV · Answer

I can hold a grudge, me being added isn't as bad as when I calm down without us talking about it, cause at that point I've lost respect for you and don't care anymore.

Waldoe · Answer

It's great that you can "Let go" of anger... there is a saying... "anger poisons the person that holds it, not the person its aimed at" or something like that...

mooky06 · Answer

For small things not long at all. But something of more concern, a day or two. I probably won’t say anything until the person says something first.

t-8900 · Answer

Apulu_3 · Answer

I don't stay mad at someone for long if they did it unintentionally but I would go opposite way if it was truly their intentions.

AstroBlu · Answer

I hold grudges and I keep a long lasting almost eternal burning fire of hatred on broil.

the_sinner · Answer

Depends on the reason.
If it’s really bad then I can go on for days staying mad on someone until they apologise. Although I’d be cheerful all the other time but not around the person who made me mad.

Anonymous · Answer

Yeah i tend to have a hard time letting things go. I’d force myself to not let it bother me and it would work for a short while but then it always comes back.

sensible27 · Answer

Not really, maybe I don't want to. Sometimes just don't care enough..

Anonymous · Answer

Yes, I cannot help my grudge-holding. But I also try not to act on them, knowing that the bullies are always well-protected.

douride2 · Answer

It all depends on what went down. The odd time I will stay mad at someone for days. For the most part though I get over things quickly.

Well with testosterone injections I get sudden rage out of nowhere for the first few days after my injections, and I can stay mad for hours so… lol

I'm always mad; joy, sorrow, excitement, grief these things pass but anger is a constant. I hold grudges without meaning to and I have no capacity for forgiveness.

Sometime makes me feel like a complete psycho
