Too bad i ain't never gonna be 4 again.
This, hell my son of 7 months foes tantrum,
tell that to my 10 year old!!
serious? Then again, I'm 21 and I still do that...as described above, although more than half the time, I get passive aggresive.
Beyond that point, there's definitely an underlying problem.
But then, she's a spoilt brat and things.
I was thinking the lying on the floor, hands pouding, legs kicking and screaming.
The kind I was referring to is the grown up style. Yelling at someone or screaming obscenities, hurling stuff against the wall, etc.
I'm not surprised that people are reluctant to be friends with you if you are abusive towards them or damage their stuff. How would you feel if someone deliberately damaged one of your possesions and shrugged it of by saying "I needed an anger outlet"?
This.
Well, the coat was damaged, but no one knew it was me. They did know the other stuff I did though and it sucks being ostracized. I remember when the iced tea needs refilled, the container was too heavy to lift and no one was willing to help. Also, they hardly ever called me in and when they did, I was completely ignored. I was also told explicitly not to show up early or stay late, but other ppl were allowed to.
Well unless there is another psychopath in your workplace I imagine they guessed it was you. You sound absolutely terrifying. I would not want someone like you in my life as I would constantly be worried about your selfish need for "outlets for anger" and whether it would endanger myself or others.
You are not the only person who has felt ostracized at work or life in general. Many people are ostracized and they don't behave like that. Being ostracized does not justify that kind of behaviour. In your case you are probably ostracized because people are scared of you.
Given what you've done, are you really that surprised they act the way they do?
no but it still doen't feel that good lol
Well there you go, surely thats an incentive to be a bit more pleasant and not throw tantrums when things dont go your way. This is the kind of thing 4 year olds learn at playschool
I agree with SuzyCreamCheese, it's not particularly about age, because different people let out their anger and frustration in different ways, however it is probably less socially acceptable the older you get as when you become an adult people may expect you to be able to handle and manage your anger in a more mature way.
stoned_angel432 - You may have seen this before, but if you have recognised that you need anger management, this article about Dealing with Anger is a good place to start. It will give you some hints and tips about how to control it yourself.
You mentioned in your last thread in the work forum that you were seeking or thinking about seeking professional help, is this something you are still doing? Is it helping?

Well I actually started seeing a counselor 2 years ago when Jessica at school didn't wanna be friends. idk my other options since I'm s\till angry easily.
