What is your coping mechanism when you're hurt/angry
When i feel hurt/angry, i usually go silent. i instantly shut up and start dissociating myself from reality. i don't like confrontations so i tend to isolate myself until i calm down. i don't want to hurt others or be hurt in the heat of the moment. it's kind of unhealthy cause i'd bottle things up but isn't it the best way to avoid conflicts?
1. Do breathing exercises and calm down. (Do it every time you are put in a situation,or ask for some alone time to think about what happened)
2. Now go to Google or any other search engine and look up "how to handle negative emotions"

I used to take my anger and sadness out on myself and I’ve been yrs clean from doing that but now I have so much built up emotions I kinda just sit there, cry, and pray I don’t relapse. 1 reply
I cry and try to forget the thing that hurt me / made me angry by reading yaoi. Nothing like a fictional scenario to distract me from my reality 1 reply
I use my anger to fuel my drive to be better than the person who wronged me lol. One time i failed an exam and the college prof called me dumb, i aced his retake exam in 30 minutes. Basically, im petty.
Im not hurting anyone and its satisfying for me lol. External validation? Nah. External Provocation, definetly. (╬￣皿￣)凸 reply
