Venting Technique
When I find myself angry, whether because I failed to achieve what I wanted or because someone said something hurtful to me, I tend to shout. Although I am a very calm person, whenever I am angry, my venting technique is shouting. I shout at those that have hurt me and those that have not. After a while, on realizing that my actions may adversely affect other people, I recollect myself, and I get back to my usual self.

Furthermore, one should learn to embrace and manage it in the correct manner. Another takeaway from this topic is the need to take care of anger with tenderness instead of using different venting methods to suppress it. Anger is something that can be tamed. Hence, one should learn to embrace this feelin...
