    I know how you feel its real hard when people can get to you and keep egging you on. You have to learn how people tick and know that its them with the problem and not you. You could say something to yourself like"yeah right whatever", or "who the hell do they think they are" to calm yourself. because if you explode everytime they try to make you mad they'll keep doing it and think your thin skinned. Try to be assertive and honest with them and let them know your not playing any games.. Even if you have to change to better yourself because of them.. Good luck!!

    Hi Mike, yes is is unhealthy to hold anger in, reason being is held in anger causes stress and stress has many adverse effects on your mind and body so I've found the best way for me to deal with it is, write it down! I write down all sorts of problems I'm having down , like things i stress about. Then I will read it and then write what I think is a good solution for the problem, and keep branching out till I have a very good solution this normally works for me, It can be very therapeutic giving answers to the issues your having

    I know how you feel like, in fact, I don't know how it feels like to let the anger go, I don't know how it feels like to take it out on some one else. One great thing that will relief and faith my anger away is talking to my self. As crazy and stupid as it sounds it works. I talk to my self, I tell my self about how angry I'm and how I can't let it go etc...(just a casual conversation) and I always end up laughing, its really funny. Most of the times I will end up with a natural smile in my face not one of the fake ones (I think you know what I mean). Well I hope this works for you. Give it a try, just make sure you are alone.

    I go through this myself...here are a few things I do to let go of anger:

    1)When someone says something that bothers, angers, annoys (etc.) you just take a few deep breaths through your nose, think about what you are going to say, and then say it.

    2)Keep a journal! Every night before you go to bed write down what bothered you the most that day. After you've finished writing an entry, read it over and think of ways to rationalize the comment, action, whatever...

    3)Write a letter! Write a letter to someone thats done you harm. Pour all of your emotions into it. Make it as strongly worded as you need, and when your done, read over it, than store it in a private place.(You don't want to send it and hurt their feelings!)

    I hope these help!!!

    well depends on whether things that make you mad are things that need to be dealt with, real things, if so then.... say it! in a calm and rational way, in fact practice how to say it before hand to cause the least amount of anger in other people, but if it does... oh well it needed to be said. sometimes it will feel better sometimes it will feel worse.

    but if you feel you are unecassarily angry, then yes go to therapy!

    My recommendation is that you use a technique known as EFT, that helps to neutralise negative emotions. For this technique, you are using your fingers to tap on specific acupunctural points on your body. Get the info free here on http://www.emofree.com/

    Please also know that it is best to let go of anger. When you hold on to anger, you are exuding negative energy and you will tend to attract negative outcomes. View this video to understand what I mean

    Take it out on other things like video games or sign up for boxing or working out.....if you're deeper than that, keep a blog or a diary so you feel like everyone is hearing you (even if they dont read it)

    Take up kick-boxing or something. Physical release of

    things bothering you is an incredible way to de-stress.

    yea...it's unhealthy.

    you should write it down. You got to get it out some how. If you can control yourself, then confront the person or situation that's making you angry.
