I used to do that a lot, but I never broke anything I valued or anyone else's property.
When my daughter was an angry teenager I even worked out a protocol for it: I saved old china so either of us could have what I named "Chuckin china" sessions, with rules like do it safely for yourself and others and clean up your own mess afterwards.
Very therapeutic!
People (assuming they have any degree of intelligence) tend to stop smashing stuff like an overgrown toddler having a meltdown when the only stuff around for them to smash is stuff they had to buy with their own hard-earned money.
If you truly believe that your emotions are an uncontrollable force over which you have no control and you therefore aren't really responsible for deciding to destroy things when you're having a temper tantrum, then you either need to decide to grow the fuck up and start owning your actions or you need psychiatric help.
Yes men often want to break things and punch walls during anger. It is a strength and point with always to be made with testosterone. Don't ever touch girls.
Don't listen to crazy bitches that wan't to insist you buy a boat instead of rent.
I get that when you get angry you lash out, and its sometimes better to do it to thing in your room rather then people. I'm not a physical person but there were times I punched walls or such and had to deal with bloody knuckles, and I get it everyone deals with anger a different way. But its not necessarily a good thing. I would say it's normal but is something you should try to minimize or better stop entirely. there are much healthier ways of getting that anger out, like maybe boxing, any type of sports, music. I get that when your so upset you throw your shit or whatever but it really should be rare and even then is not a good look.
Yes, I’ve been through anger management twice. I used to break something right away because it would stop me doing so to a human at best, at worst stop an indiscriminate killing spree. When something has truly crossed a line I would impulsively act, no threats. I get what people who know would describe as the “chill” come over me. But like most people I’ve mellowed a lot with age, you just start to think first, that foggy possession clears.
Same. Just get some cheap dishes/glassware that you can break or get a cheap car you can crash. I usually just go somewhere quiet and scream until I don’t feel angry anymore or I crash (or rather, lightly bump) my cheap, shitty car in ways that won’t be permanently damaging to me or the thing I'm crashing into.
When I broke something my dad would break my face. I never punched holes in walls or anything for that reason. But about 4 years ago I was arguing with the wife and picked up a side table and slammed it to the ground making it fly into pieces. Thats the only thing I can remember breaking.
