As The title says "How Long does it takes you to cool down your anger?"
I normally see someone when they got angry, they will rant about it for hours
So how about you?

Depends.
What does "lond" mean?

Don't play daft and answer the question if you're going to post, BlueSonic. >_>

It depends on how exactly angry I am. Usually when I feel a little ticked off I just try recollecting my thoughts and soothing myself with nice calm music or perhaps a good game which can get my mind off problems. If I'm REALLY angry however, it could take hours for me to shrug it off no matter what I do. :\ But in the end I never believed in taking my anger to drastic levels, it just wouldn't be right of me.

I get angry really quickly, I'm one of those people with a "short fuse", and it takes a while for me, to cool down, so don't get me angry

Yep, depends on how angry I am too. Sometimes a little vengeance helps, sometimes a little quiet time. My anger has never made it through the night however. If I'm upset with someone today, by the time I wake up in the morning the next day, I would've gotten over it completely.

I find it hard to stay angry for long. Usually I've forgiven the person within 20-30 minutes. Often times sooner than that.

Years and years... XD Not really.

I usually get over stuff fast, actually. Which is good, I guess.

I have a decently short fuse, but I'm not too bad. It's racial/arrogant/predjudiced/biased phrases that get me going. If you don't have something nice to say, make it sound nice or don't say it at all. That's about it with my anger.

I generally cool of really quickly. Like one little joke can instantly make me forget about why I was mad in the first place.

Although sometimes, it can take hours, if I get really angry.

It really depends on the situation. Theres grudges and then theres being spur of the moment angry.

I don't have the willpower or something to stay angry for a long period of time. :| I can usually forget about it in under 20 minutes, depending on what it is. Even if I sit there dwelling on it, I calm down really quickly.

While it's easy to get to me, I usually don't stay angry for long and find it impossible to hold any sort of lasting grudge.

Crystal Hikari

If you don't have something nice to say, make it sound nice or don't say it at all

That's what I do, too ! Anyway, I've been bullied since the 5th grade (I'm goign to 10th now), And, that's what I say, but of course, bullies don't speak smart, beacuse they go by fear. And if they make me angry, I go after them like an enraged Primape

It depends. Sometimes, I have a burst of anger and it's not very long. I hate being angry at people, so I tend not to stay angry for long. Sometimes, I'm bitter for a whole day or more. In fact, I'm a tad bit bitter right now. I was hoping that I wouldn't be anymore, but that plan flew out the window. >:

Usually it takes very little to make me angry, but I can't stay mad for long. I'm a forgiving person, but sometimes if someone makes me angry, it'll bring back memories of all the stuff they may have done to me in the past.

I never get angry! =D /lies

Anger..actually I'm almost always pretty angry about something but usually it's like,never shown xD; When i do show it..things can get a teensy bit intense ^.^; [yelling at anything that moves lmfao]

It depends on the situation for me but normally I forgive them pretty quickly. As for anger that sprouts from other things, still pretty quickly.

It really depends on the situation, what made me angry, and so on. If it's something really big, something deep, I'd be likely to stay angry for a while.

Smaller things, I usually don't stay angry. :3 I let things go pretty quickly, I don't like holding onto grudges.

Warheart
August 19th, 2007, 07:17 PM
I don't stay mad at anyone. Um, usually I'll just blow up in that persons face, then be over it within 10 minutes of being left alone =/

But yeah, it depends on the situation.

Hmm... It takes me years. Sometimes, I don't even forgive the person that made me mad. <~

Naoki
August 19th, 2007, 08:14 PM
I can stay mad for days. It matters what it's about. I'll stay mad until I completely think through the situation, and either get over it, or hold a grudge. I don't show it around PC, or on IMs, but I guess people IRL can see it in my expression that I'm upset XD

I'm always mad at my dad, though.

August 19th, 2007, 08:41 PM
Around 5 hours. The day before yesterday I found out my 9th grade schedule and found out none of the electives I signed up for made it. You can guess the rest.

I am the kind who holds a grudge though.

Sometimes it takes a few days actually. :x
I'm the kind of person who thinks of getting revenge every once in a while...

I complain alot, but not as sure about being angry, I don't take notice of my dis-anger-ness. Oh wait, I'm still angry about certain things from ages ago, yeah, it takes me a while to get over some things I'm angry at. I'm angry at the fact that you're all online, and I'll be angry for weeks, but I aint going to tell anyone. Actually, that strikethrough made no sense at all... ignore it. XD

Ryuuji
August 20th, 2007, 08:36 AM
Well it depends on my anger, usually I my anger cool of in like 50 seconds if the one that I fought never bring that up...
and usually I just let go of the past and when they did it again...I'll bring up the Past...xD

I don't get angry very often. When I do it takes only a short time for me to calm down.

I do homework to cool me down from anger, i dont know why, i dont know how but its so boring that it actually makes me think of something different thats not annoying me so im not angry anymore.

Suki
August 20th, 2007, 11:18 AM
I can get angry quite alot, but that is my little sister's fault but now I just try and ignore her because she drives me mental everyday. I cool down quite quick, less than an hour anyway.

Hideki~kun

I don't usually get angry but when I do, I usually lock myself in my room for a bit and forget about it.

it takes me an hour or 2. It depends on the problem

I do have pretty good control on my anger, most of the time, but when it hits to a peak and over, i really go berserk, its take about an hour or 2 to cool off.

It really depends on the time, place and what made me angry in the first place.

With school for example, if something angers me at school (almost all the time, but I try not to show it around them, unless they really push my buttons -_-) I feel better when I get home and talk to my Mum about it. But feel angry when I know I have to go back to school the next day. XD

If it's online and it's REALLY ticked me off I just avoid the source of the anger.

With other tiny things I get angry over (such as when a program I'm using stuffs up <_<), I calm down within the next minute. XD

Not long really. Although it really depends on what angered me in the first place

You might not believe it.. but people say that I have a temper >.>
If I'm angry, it's very hard to cool down. I can stay angry for hours ! o_o

But offcourse, that compares with the fact that I'm almost never angry, so meh xD

It depends on the problem, fight, etc. If I get really angry I just want to kick the wall, or I bite myself in my fist to calm down, to stop myself from breaking things down and stuff (Gawd, I make myself look like a monster or something xD). I don't attack people often, but if you make me REALLY angry or attack my friends or something.. Gheghe ^^' Anyways, it depends. On the other person, too. If he/she apologizes it's hard for me to stay too angry (with friends and family that is), and sometimes I realize, after some thinking, that I'm the one that was wrong and so I'll apologize.

I'm pretty low tempered, but it depends on the situation, time, really. ^^

I don't usually get angry. I get annoyed, yes, but when I really get angry, I hold a very very long grudge against that person. It may not be a completely obvious grudge, but I do hold a lot of grudges. I usually keep a grudge like that until the person talks to me (cuz I won't talk to them) and I get a different opinion of them. Then I'll talk to them, but i still won't ever really like them.

I'm not angry that easily(I laugh too much 0.0). But when I am, I get cooled off in 10 minutes or less.

Bobby
August 26th, 2007, 06:09 PM
I depends on what caused the anger in the first place. I usually cool down pretty quickly once I have gotten everything out that I want to. Other times it can take long. Like I said, it all just depends on the situation that made me angry in the first place.

My anger can never be cooled x_x;

I don't rant or fight when angry but I do stupid things and make dumb decisions.

August 27th, 2007, 03:26 PM
I'm a guy who can control his temper pretty well (I learned to do it after many years of being the target of schoolmates' jokes)

So, what I do, instead of getting angry at someone, is either ignore the person, or, if it's someone I consider a friend, I try to reason with the person (and ignore if we can't make peaces)
However, when I'm reasoning, I may start talking in a different way (my sarcasm raises), and I know that can be disturbing, I can't help it. I guess that's my anti-angry mechanism.

Well what kind of anger? I mean when I'm frustrated with games I have this old keyboard that when I punch it it showers keys all over the room, which is very rewarding for me. If it's a girl problem, I'll just go for a walk and think about answers or how to cope with the problem. When it's a fight with my brothers, well, I punch back.

Depends on who/what I'm mad at. If I'm mad at Doug (not a nice guy) then that can last for... weeks. But anything else goes away in an hour or two.

Lash
August 27th, 2007, 10:14 PM
Usually, if I am really mad, I tend to have kind of a grudge sometimes.
Other than that, I have learned to stay calm. So usually about half an hour or so of Pokemon, Roleplay, or listening to Madina Lake will cheer me up.
But I am quickly angered by Spammers, though, who isn't?

Waffle-San
August 27th, 2007, 10:35 PM
I have trouble staying angry and sad. Sometimes I try just to get some quiet but i can keep it up more than 10 minutes at the most. Except when it comes to homework, ever since i took up french as a second language homework is the only thing that can keep me in a foul mood. Only Science, Social, math and French Laguage arts though, the four sugjects that are actually in french.

It doesn't take me long to calm down when I get angry. It will only take me a while if you get me really really angry, like angry red eyes, if it was an anime, angry XD. I have quite a long fuse, so yeah.

I don't get angry much but if I do get mad it will only last like a minute or so

Uiariamu_Shibu
August 28th, 2007, 01:09 AM
it ranges. on average, it'll take a few months to cool off. I'd normally say ten minutes due to not holding grudges, but it's not my brain that's angry, but my heart and muscles.(ya know, pillow-bashing, inability to think straight, a bit ruthless in sparring matches, etc.) but what gets me mad for months are usually video games, or simply losing in general...

Kogenta
August 28th, 2007, 04:22 AM
I rarely, if ever, fully lose my temper. When I feel angry, I can usually control myself well enough to calm down rather quickly. Depending on the situation and person, however, I may hold on to the memory of the event for quite a while.

When i get angry, I get really angry. It takes me hours or even days to cool off sometimes. But, I never get angry.

When I'm angry, I usually just cry or yell a whole lot (never cuss :<) and then get over it really fast... But I'll secretly grudge about it until the day I die.

Dymin
September 17th, 2007, 09:49 PM
I don't really get mad or snap at those little things, like i.e if someone spills water on my paper I wouldn't get mad at that. To get me mad, you'd have to do something extreme XD.
