Better not. -_-

As for the topic, I'm slow to anger, but deep breaths will keep the monster inside caged.  ;)

When I see someone with the handle and avatar of the Master Chief discussing anger management, I just picture him in a Japanese sand garden fully clad and disassembling/cleaning his rifle.

Personally, I find a good book, a glass of Pinot, and or a match of Battlefield 4 will lower my stress levels. Fortunately, I seldom get worked up enough to warrant needing calming down. There are few problems that cannot be overridden by honest introspection and an honest evaluation of ourselves.

I cry, hit something. Multiple ways about going about releaving anger.

But I have to say I'm glad I'm not thick skinned, I've never seen it as beneficial.

Absolutely right. Thick skin is usually a byproduct of passive aggressive behavior, which is not only a sign of weakness, but cowardice.

Really? Indeed that seems plausable.

Thick skin doesn't mean bottling up anger, it's generally being able to take the punishment as it comes and internalize it later. It's an absolutely essential skill for anyone who wishes to debate or produce content, especially on the internet, where everything they say and do will likely be met with harsh criticism.

You make valid points. Kudos! :)

I wasn't implying it was bottling up anger.
And being able to take criticism and having thick skin are two different things, I can take criticism but I'm sensitive and I wouldn't call that having thick skin, when someone uses the term it implies they are coated in skin which is insensitive and I don't see that as a positive.

You can have a thick skin and be sensitive at the same time. It's all about composure in the moment and dealing with things long term. Having a thin skin generally means you crack under sustained criticism. Having a thick skin means you can handle that. That's it. Your sensitivity is another factor entirely. You can be the most sensitive person ever and still have skin like granite.

Bullshit, in my experience anyway.

how is having thick skin a bad thing? I wish my skin were thicker, I'd like to not crack under pressure so easily, then I could speak my mind.  The only thing I have a thick skin for is my art, because I understand that in order to get better, I have to take criticism and critiques, and not take them as shot to who I am personally.
You have a balance of being emotional and rational, and have a good sense to know when you should be sensitive or a thick skin, and that comes with experience.

I sometimes make people really mad when I laugh at them when they are yelling at me. 



You can develop a thick skin.  I used to care what everybody think, then I had to work in customer service and realized how batshit insane most Americans are and developed a give no f**ks attitude.  Works well in the Army because I just tune all the other stuff out and listen to what people tell me.

Nowadays, I take deep breaths and rationally think about why the situation made me upset and how to correct it.
