How often are you all pissed off? Is it normal for a guy to hit, throw and break things on a regular basis? (once a week or so)

To be more clear... this is not about hitting a person.

    I dont get full blow angry too often, I will admit I have a temper ( I think its the Irish and Scorpio in me, haha) Its quick to get lit and quick to put out unless its really something for me to be upset over. I do not throw things and I do not break things...usually I get very quiet...if its something that keeps on getting under my skin and its being done on purpose then I might explode a bit...haha But rarely do I ever get that mad.

    Not, not even close. I don't think I've ever throw or broken things in anger.

    I never get violent. My dad raised me to always look at every situation when I was growing up. When life gets you down-there is always something funny and always something you can learn from it if u look hard enough. So that's what I do. Must be my Canadian way I guess. Pretty docile for the most part. Not that I don't feel like being an "a" hole sometimes.....

    Meh...My parents beat me enough as a kid to ensure I rarely get out of control as a grown-up.

    No. It is not normal for a ANYONE to do that "once a week or so". What is his life situation? Is he in control at work? What stresses him? What is his family history? Be careful and make sure the violence doesn't end up directed at you.

    I used to get mad and throw things back when I was young and immature. I got married young and we'd have lots of fights (arguments - never hit a partner in my life). I can clearly remember throwing a piece dinnerware on occasion (but only after doing a mental inventory to see if it made sense - okay, we've got 8 saucers but only 7 cups/6 dinner plates, etc.) strictly for dramatic effect. Yep, grew out of that stage once I had to start replacing dishes...

    You know what, sometimes you just got to release some pent up anger or aggression on inanimate objects. I think a great way to do this is to go to the driving range and smash a few golf balls in the process. It's also a lot of fun exercise that helps with obliques.

    In my experience, yes. In the world of people who have those healthy relationship thingies and that self esteem.stuff, no.

    I have been known to take out my frustration on inanimate objects, but that was mostly around the time my father died. I have a scar on one hand from punching a locker. Not proud of it, but meh.

    Oh and I am not a guy...but most guys I know do not get angry and throw fits, self control is something that you should look for in a man...if he cant control his temper then you dont want to be around that. With that being said I can understand the occasional outburst but it shouldnt ever be violent.

    This is a sign of someone who's not able to express their anger like a proper adult. If it's someone you live with, they may turn their anger towards you, instead of punching the wall, it would be you. Please be careful.

    In 6 years my boyfriend has never once thrown anything, punched anything, or even YELLED.
    Not all guys are giant balls of rage.
    I am more likely to freak out screaming or punch a wall and cry....he just leaves the house for a half hour, comes back and says "are you done now?".

    See the problem I have with this question is that I dont have enough info. Are you getting mad for little reason? Are you having a super hard time and or lac of control in your life that is driving you to get angry? Are you depressed? Have you always been this way or is this sudden?

    I can only speculate what it is. I can say it is not normal to get so angry that you beak things on a weekly basis though. If there is nothing going on in your life to cause it, Id try to figure out if your body is chemically unbalanced. Maybe go get some blood work from your normal doctor. Id follow their advice on what to do after that. None of us are qualified to really tell you what to do. All we can say, yeah it is out of the ordinary.

    That behaviour leads to prison.
    Get some help before it cost you everything.
    I get angry often.
    To lose control is the ultimate fail,

    I'd say if it's something that happens once a week, you really should do some research on Anger/Stress Management. I've had plenty of friends who suffer from PTSD or Reintegration problems, so you are not alone. But, it isn't healthy and if you don't find an outlet for that anger, you can seriously hurt yourself or a loved one.

    Hmmmm.. Hitting is never acceptable (to me)

    But my brother (20) Gets angry a few times a month, usually he yells, slams doors and punches the punching bag.

    My boyfriend just gets sulky.. like a puppy who didn't get a treat

    Lost my temper to the point of not being in control once in my 42 years. It's not acceptable.

    I'm not a guy but I get angry often.

    I'm known for punching walls/doors/trashing my room/yelling.

    But I'd never, ever take it out on another person. Especially not physically. No matter how angry you are, being violent towards others is not acceptable.

    I had an ex who used to throw things when she was in a temper. So, the plates, dishes, cups, etc. So, one day, just as it was getting to the part where she lost it, and was looking for something to throw, I walked to the best china cupboard and broke one of the best cups that her mother had given her, by throwing it on the floor
    She gave me a hard stare, so I broke another one. When she had gotten over the sight of me breaking crockery, she asked me what I was doing. So I told her that she did it, so why couldnt I?

    She never once threw anything at me again.

    So glad she's an ex tho!

    Know that feeling. I did once. I regret it 30 years later.
