I don't blast without thinking. I shut up and smile. The more angry I am, the more I smile. This can really turn a situation around.

The first thing I do is take a deep breath because this keeps me from mouthing off right away, then, while I am taking the breath, I am also thinking about the best way to handle the situation without adding fuel to the fire.
Some times I also walk away without saying anything until I can calm down and think clearly then I come back and address the issue.
This is just a little that you can do that I have tried and it works for me. Good luck!

I had that problem when I was younger, the slightest little thing would set me off, yelling and screaming. I finally decided I needed to change it, and with work, I did it. here's how:
1. pray.
most people believe in God, so I'll assume you're one of them. (if you're not, to go step 2, but believe me, you're missing out a great help.) pray for strength and peace, and the ability to hold your temper, and be sincere. if you do your part, God will help.
2. take a time out.
so you blew your top and now you feel bad about it. good, you should. now take some time out, walk away and be by yourself for a little. then think about what you did. think about the situation, how and why it made you mad. think about your reaction and how you felt. then think about what you *should* have done. think of a few ways you could have handled it better, from saying something different to walking away. go over these several times in your head, to fix them there. that'll give you ammo for the next time.
3. try to see the other person's point of view.
while you're thinking over the incident, try turning it around and trying to imagine what made the other person react as they did. maybe they had a bad day, or maybe *you* pushed one of *their* buttons.
4. know thyself.
look for patterns in your behavior and your emotions. are there times you react worse than others? situations that make you irritable? subjects that just set you off? people can't read minds, they don't know if you're in a bad mood or exactly what will make you mad. knowing what to expect from yourself will help you deal with a situation before it become volatile.
5. apologize.
even if it's hard, even if it's embarassing, and even if the person deserved to be yelled at, you shouldn't have lost your temper, and you need to apologize for it. this helps stick in the more basic parts of your brain that losing your temper isn't appropriate.
6. be PATIENT.
with yourself, in this case. bad habits don't change overnight. it may take weeks or months, maybe longer, depending on your natural personaltiy and how deeply ingrained the habit is. it will take a lot of work, frustration, even tears, but keep at it. you CAN do it.
don't ever give up!

You have to learn self control. You're never going to resolve anything by just blasting off at someone. Whenever you feel yourself getting really angry just take a couple deep breathes and try and think of the calmest way you can get your point across. I do this all the time, unless someone is going out of their way to piss me off, and I always get what I want out of a situation. Communication is key. Besides, if you can control your temper and calmly state to the aggressor that they are annoying you because of this or that you feel the situation would be be resolved by them doing this, a lot of times they explode on you and you end up getting exactly what you wanted because they are immediately seen as being unprofessional and incapable of handling pressure.

Who is angry here? Am I angry or are you angry? Anyway, if someone else is angry, if it's someone close, you better be seeking some way to tell this person (at a more calm, appropriate time) about their angry outburts with you. If it's someone at work, who does this all the time, with everyone, you may also like to check reality by choosing a suitable time to sit this person down, in a private meeting, bring up one or two contexts in which this person has 'exploded', then, request what you do not want to hear and also give alternatives as to how this person may approach you, if he/she has any doubts. You need to make clear you are not shaming this person about his/her behavior, but just invite him/her to communicate his frustrations in a different way, if you know how you want to be spoken to.
If it's someone in public shouting obscenities in the air and is not violent, you can pretty well ignore such outbursts and go on your way.

as quickly as you sense your self getting indignant take that indignant although captive and crucify it via determining which you will end the approach of having indignant suitable then and there. 2 Corinthians 10:5 We wreck arguments and each lofty opinion raised against the certainty of God, and take each and every concept captive to obey Christ, Do what James mentioned to attain this as that way you at the instant are not getting caught up in a controversy in the previous you be responsive to it and you have a great gamble to purely remember to be responsive to what the different guy or woman is honestly asserting. James a million:19 be responsive to this, my loved brothers: enable each and every guy or woman be rapid to pay attention, sluggish to talk, sluggish to anger; 20 for the anger of guy would not produce the righteousness that God demands. finally, in case you come across which you're approximately to lose administration over your anger then wreck your self loose from the placement and pass off via your self for a whilst until eventually you could quiet down. 2 Timothy 2:22 So flee youthful passions and pursue righteousness, faith, love, and peace, alongside with people who call on the Lord from a organic coronary heart.

Usually when you are faced with someone angry, the best thing to do is talk calmly to them b/c if you use a calm voice they tend to calm down too. They don't feel so threatened if your not angry too.
Don't be so quick to jump out of anger. The outcome of the situation depends on how you handle things. People are gonna make you mad but you don't have to show them your weaknesses.

Remember, when you are angry, you are letting other people control your emotions. Why would you give up control of yourself to other people, including total strangers. Remember, if their goal is to make you angry, deny them their goal. If they are just being ignorant or rude, they will get the reward coming to them.
Keep your power to yourself. Do not give yourself up to other people. You decide when to be angry, not them. If something makes you mad, then that's ok, but if they make you mad, they are taking a part of you away. Do not let them.

When I get angry I just stretch my fingers (not crack them just stretch like getting ready to punch) dont know why but it makes me forget my anger.
I reply in anger only when others are talking bad about me. if they are accusing me then i let them and solve the problem when im calmer. cuz i donnt feel like talking to them at that time. it helps to keep the relationships.
