what do you do when you don't feel good about yourself?

Question

i become very irritating & shout at everyone around me.I hate it to do so.

Answer 1

I shut up and go to work.

Answer 2

You're already part way to improving the situation, because you have recognized and acknowledged the problem. Lots of people never get that far!
When you aren't feeling good about yourelf, pick up your coat and go for a brisk walk. Burn up a bit of energy. Then when you come back, you'll be able to look at things a little more calmly. Physical activity - especially on a regular basis - can be very helpful in making you feel better about yourself, so take a look around at what you think you might like to try and get involved. A good karate workout, or an aerobics class, or a series of fast laps in the swimming pool, or whatever turns you on and burns up lots of calories can help you even out your personality.
If that doesn't work, you might need to take the next step and try some professional counselling, but try the activity routine first.
Good luck!

Answer 3

take a vacation away from everyone for awhile, get a make over, listen to soothing music, write in a journal about my feelings, sip on a glass of wine, take a nice long hot bath. turn the phone off or let the answering machine pick up the message. this is what i do when people irritate me or shout at me, especially if i'm at work.

Answer 4

If I'm just in a bad mood, I try to do something for myself to feel better, like play some of my favorite music, take a relaxing bath with candlelight (a real treat I dont often do), or something to chill myself out.
If it's deeper than that, like I'm unhappy with some part of my life, I may go to counseling to get some feedback from someone outside my circle of family and friends. The first suggestion is kind of a quick fix for minor issues; the second suggestion requires more long term committment if I really want to change the situation.

Answer 5

Relax, meditate, take a walk in the park, go to a lake, or beach and watch the ocean waves. Find a puppy to hug and kiss!

Take a look inside yourself and see what is making you hostile. Is it work, romance, finances, etc? Something in your life is "not working to your satisfaction."

Once you decide what "it," is, you will stop shouting. Take a ballet class, go to a classical music concert, go to the museum. Try to do things that are calming. Learn something new.

Try to understand why you don't feel good about yourself? When did this start, and what, caused it?

Best of luck.

Answer 6

If you don't feel good about you then it is normal to feel irritated enough to shout. It is all in the nature of the beast, humanity being the beast.

The way to resolve this is to work on making you feel better. In one of your good moods sit down and write a list of what makes you feel good about you... hang it somewhere you can read it.. and keep reminding yourself of all the good things you are...

If you have trouble writing the list ask a friend to help..

Answer 7

Can't believe that so many people think they need meds. Sit down and make a list of all the good things there are about you and we all have them. When your around people that irritate you, take a deep breath and count to ten. If you have to, exit yourself from stressful situations.

Answer 8

You lack self esteem and you are insecure. Remember, you are just as good as the next person. Lashing out at others is not fair to them, nor is it fair for anyone to lash out at you. Just because I am having a bad day does not me the right to take it out on others.

You might try getting your hair fixed, buy something new to wear that really makes you look nice and begin going places and doing things that are relaxing and fulfilling to your emotions. You will need to work from the inside out to change your perspective about yourself and others. And most of all, smile at everyone you meet, not only does it help make their day but yours also.

Answer 9

I was the way you describe a few years back and when my family let me know they were sick of my bad outlook and taking it out on them, I looked for help. My physician perscribed a mild tranqulizer to take daily and it was not long before I was in a better mood and felt much better about myself. My family was grateful that I chose to do something about it. It worked for me but of course not everyone is the same. I also prayed for God's help. Perhaps you could try both solutions. God bless you.

Answer 10

No indication of age here...Becomes more important than one may realize. It may be caused by body chemistry imbalance or by some emotions trauma from the past. Should the latter be the factor, be assured there is a way to get rid of the trigger, that sets you off.

Answer 11

Your projecting your irritations that you feel about yourself on others. Hoping to take the pain you feel inside, outside and deflect it on them. Its going to make you so popular that no one is going to be around you..Some people wont take the time to know that you are hurting and need help, so they will avoid you.
If your not saved get that way, Romans 10:9 and ask Jesus to come into your heart because you need him to save you from you. Ask him to heal you of emotional hurt and damage. Removing hate, hurt and bitterness to.Then ask him to fill you with the Holy Spirit to lead and guide you unto all rightousness and most of all to give you peace.
