Racism, sexism and all the various other “hate these people” isms and phobias are arguably methods for expressing and rationalizing anger. And they’re bad. But what’s a good way?

    Trust me I know the feeling. My one and only time I punched things was enough not to do it again. I actually punched two things that time. The first wasn’t so bad since it was the drywall and my hand went through. The second thing I punched, not so good. I punched the stainless steel grill we had and broke my hand. Didn’t do that again lol.

      Ouch, that sounds painful!!! I broke the mirror in the apartment I was renting because one day I was furious and punched it. What a dumb thing to do – I needed that mirror!! :/ So yeah, going around punching stuff is not a great solution, I’ve bruised my knuckles more than once.

        I had a dumb reason lol. I was in high school and the first “real” gf I had dumped me after prom over the phone and I just kinda let the emotion out lol

          I dunno, it’s not such a dumb reason, it seems like a perfectly teenage kind of reaction. I think most guys have been there.
