Do you get angry

I have never got angry with myself about a desicion I've made, I have regretted a few and learned from them. If you repeat a mistake then you should be angry with yourself but to err is human. Learn from your mistakes and you will be a better person.

When I get angry, I give it some of this

I am the worst person on this planet for "mentally beating myself up".. I like to think it's a girl thing, but perhaps it's not?... I try not to give myself such a hard time, but I find it difficult... I have a conscious, should I feel bad for that?

With respect to getting angry, I just bust some kickboxing moves... a few side kicks here and there (to innanimate objects only lol), never fails to make me feel better/more confident... Picturing my bosses head on the punch bag...

Used to really bad so much so work sent me on an anger managment course. I think a lot of it stems from me being very comptative be it sport or work and my feeling of frustration used to boil over. Now I just take a quick break and then come back to it

You're not alone. I'm always doing that

so yeah well ok, it took quite alot of guts for me to read that actually, but anyways, erm yeah somebody said this thing..I think it was juicy but sorry if I'm wrong it was

"It is now just a bad memory that may pop into my mind for a split second and I don't feel that guilt or anger or stupidity any more. "

and I have to say I know about this feeling too.
hunny to have made it to your age before u had the real beating yourself for stupid mistakes problem, must mean that you don't make them too often (tee hee hee yeah cos your a really old codger!), u've learnt a lesson in a human way and I am proud of you...sorry for the cheese, but I mean it.
We all do the beating up thing, but you have to forgive yourself sometime, maybe you need to realise that you've punished yourself enough!!!
all the best tiddlywinks,
