How do you deal with anger?

I just usually read manga or watch a movie to save myself from stomping someone to death. But when I do get into a fight, I don't stop until someone's half dead. But I'm a Buddhist and I try to control my anger. That was me back then before I became a Buddhist, now I only fight in self defense instead of letting people talk trash to me. How do you guys deal with anger?

I like to go for a run!

take it out on the weight bag at my home gym. bench it out. or just sit silently.

i really like going out to the field and firing off shots at targets with certain faces on them.

I should try that sometime. It seems much more fun than just meditating. In fact, I'ma take out my AR-15 and go to target practice tomorrow. Thanks for inspiration man.

Thanks guys .. i enjoyed this post as I will tell my sister these suggestions.

She is Scorpio sun (Taurus moon) and she gets rages of anger but doesn't know how to deal with it...

She really doesn't mean to struggle with her inner anger and I worry about her self esteem being affected by it. I love her so much and want to give her ways of dealing with her emotions because it's so hard for her. She gets unfairly judged for it to!

I hate people that don't understand Scorpios! My boyfriend is a Scorpio sun (Capricorn moon) and he gets looked at by people that don't know him, as a crazy girlfriend-abuser-hitter-psycho! But he is so sweet, sweeter then anyone!! I hate it when people don't understand him.

My sister takes out her anger on her boyfriend sometimes ... then feels sooo bad because of it.. (she is a cancer in her venus awww so really sweet and soft to those she loves) .... And she mainly expresses her anger in words though not violence.

Which is great because when we were both children she used to take her anger out on me but with punches, scratches, kicks, choking and spitting haha.... funny times. I'm 3 years older then her too hehe but I was cancer-virgo girly girl softy who was sensitive and weak haha.. she toughened me up a lot which was very good for me. And I helped her soften up a bit so it's all good. ??_

I love Scorpios!

go for a run or do something that will get your heart rate up and get you that endorphin rush, it's amazing my friend.

Dance, scream, cry, move the body, write things down you want to say to the person
and then destroy it, shout things like *you dickhead* 😄 (when alone)

All helps a lot!!

Also,if some friend's behavior is making me angry,I have a frank talk with him/her and we sort things out.
