When I was young, I did. haha I had a very short fuse. I remember hitting myself and even biting my own fist out of anger or frustration semi-regularly. I mellowed over the years. The Army really sorted me out. Honestly, a zen experience. My fuse is too long now. haha I have a hard time caring about most things, let alone being angry. Dude! Marine corps did the same thing for me! And the love THEO shows me every day. I still have the urge to slap stupid people but it is very short lived and I can control it. Life is way to short to be angry

Never been one to abuse myself in anger. I've always been pretty short-fused and scratchy, but it's a lot more under control these days. My problem is there's no gray area. It's all good and tolerable...until it isnt. And if it gets that far, it's worth going ahead and going to the mats over. I've been in the ministry for years. I was ordained in 1996. But I was never able to really fit in with the "clergy" of my former denomination. Too much of a common man, too willing and ready to rise up in anger and do battle with a religious fake or con man...and then there was the pipes. I was always more of a Nehemiah than a Joel Osteen. So I'm now denomination-less, happy and free to tell it straight. I don't get near so angry anymore, since I stopped dealing with ... the unrelatable. I can talk to another old cowboy who's needing some counsel, and life just makes sense now. Anyway, I apologize for the long post. I guess I just needed to get that out. Sorry.

Last time I got mad at myself, I slept on the other side of the bed and didn't speak to me for two days.

The Fight Club scene is epic. I really like the dialog in the movie, but I can't stand any form of violence. But I use the movie quotes regularly from it.

If I HAVE to be physical, and it happens sometimes, I tend to beat the crap out of something other than me (doors, walls). I beat myself up mentally all the time with self talk, and that may in fact be worse. Self punishment has many reasons and forms. Cutting is one, had a family member deal with his anger in that way. People do find release although it's not the healthiest way to get relief. Something to think about. Lots of options for help out there. Fortunately less and less as time goes by but I've always been a thrower/slammer/breaker..there's probably a word for it. If I can indulge in a little stereotyping I was probably was an Italian wife in a previous life. It's quite the release, although nothing to be proud of.

Never had the urge to hit myself. If I get angry at myself I instead drink a shot of whiskey. Calms me down. I've never needed that second shot, thank goodness. That would be a dark road.

I saw Legend Lover fighting with himself in another thread with his mouth and hands covered in Peanut butter at least I hope it was peanut butter.

Didn’t sleep well last night, I decided to bang my head against the wall a few times to see if it would help. No such luck🤪🤪😜😂😂😂

Let me think about that one...
Nope I can clearly state that I never did that.
They say that with proper anger management and perhaps drug therapy, one can be helped.The question is are you an explosive or implosive angry person?😁
