Does anyone know how to calm someone else's anger?

Answer 1

If they are in the throes of anger at the moment, you will have to let it run its course. If it is someone who trusts you, and you aren't the object of their anger, you may be able to remove them from the situation. In that case,
Use a low voice - people tend to answer in the tone you establish. When you yell, they yell, you whisper, so do they.
Use a lot of eye contact - It helps to encourage melanin production in the brain - which is calming
Use some physical contact if appropriate - depending on how well you know them.
Give it time - Anger is often a fight or flight response, and it is short-lived. When this is the case, it will subside suddenly, then just be supportive because they'll feel vulnerable.

If they are angry at you, don't try to calm them at all, it will only inflame the situation. Just try to control the damage. If there are people in danger, remove them from the situation, if you are the only one there, refuse to talk until they are calm, and walk away. Rage is intense, but short-lived, so if nobody is in immediate danger, just let it run its course. Whatever you do, don't reward bad behavior. People who have rage want to be pandered to, and if you give them that, they will do it again.

Answer 2

Make them scream into a pillow and punch it when they can't control themselves. Give them a stress ball to carry around for when they need it because they are angry. Give them positive thoughts to think about and calm them. For me, I drink a cup of hot chocolate or warm chocolate milk every night which really calms me down. If you put a stop to someone else's anger and you don;t let their anger effect you and make you angry too, it will stop the ripples from flowing out into the world and people won't be as angry as they would be if the anger from one person was passed on to them.

Answer 3

Do not respond in the same pitch.If he/she is making an allegation against you, say it was a mistake and apologize even if it isnt your mistake.
Have a small grin (not smile or laugh, you might get hit if you smile or laugh ) on your face, seeing that would be t he starting point to melt down someone and once he/she is approachable give them a hug.

P.S: I can do that only to family and friends.
I'm a wild goose let loose when at office lol
