Does any other typically quiet and “reserved” men also feel really good when they finally let it go and yell in anger?

1. Everyone feels like that, that’s why feeling a need to vent is universal. You are accountable to your actions not your feelings. As long as it’s few and far between you’ll still fall squarely in the mild mannered column with most people. Don’t sweat it.

2. Be careful. If you are holding frustrations inside; internalizing them vs addressing them as they occur, you might become a ticking time bomb. That is very unhealthy for you. And to your point, you may appear somewhat irrational which is a serious turnoff. You dont want to reach that state. Cooler heads prevail.

3. No.

   I’m quiet and reserved because I know how to calmly handle and release negative emotions.

   Not because I’m bottling everything up until it spills out like a shaken soda.

4. Your “fuck” is Ned’s “doodily”.

5. Not really, no. But that’s likely because when I let go one time some 20 years ago, I almost murdered two people thanks to an autism-related meltdown.

6. I am way too anxious and don’t like the thought of bringing attention to myself. Always been low key jealous of people who are able to get annoyed at things other than themselves. I wish I could scream, shout and cry out loud.

7. ive threw hammers at work because of being tired of shit, it doesnt feel great but it helps for sure

8. No. The exact opposite. I feel exhausted and horrible.

9. nah. It always sounds better in your head, IRL it changes nothing

10. yes, and when it happens I do it for all the times I was quiet.

11. Same, I tend to hold shit in until I can’t and then go fucking nuts when I finally let it out.

12. No. Cuz I either don’t actually care or I process my shit in my own head. I don’t have a reason to explode
