Yes. I used to be a very angry person. I would tolerate bs for a long time and then blow my stack. Sometimes I felt completely out of control with rage.

However, I gave it all up and rarely get angry anymore. It was sort of like quitting a bad habit. I realized it was harming me seriously and so I quit. Once I quit expressing the anger, the feelings also slipped away from disuse.

How on earth did you do that?


I wish I could tell you. It is largely under unconscious control. There are other habits I have I cannot quit no matter how hard I try. But sometimes, it is like a full body/mind revelation, and the change happens. My best hypothesis is that I am a pattern learner and most of the initial data collection is invisible to me. When the pattern has been diagnosed, my brain spits out the answer.

Yeah, I didn't swear or insult people, but I screamed, sometimes right at people, and hit myself or hurt myself in other ways.

I struggle with finding evil the Anger Management comedy film. Because it was an injustice unfairness and personal wrong how the character got sent on the course - and that was apparent just from the trailers, I never saw the actual film - and that automatically makes evil any idea of showing him benefit from the course. Innately for the sake of spiting the injustice of getting sent on it, he had a moral duty to not benefit at all from it.
