i know we could all use some tips
Quote : | "(CNN) -- Anger is coursing through your veins like hot, cliched lava. It feels like your head's fixing to uncap itself, a cartoon mushroom cloud bursting from your cranium and firecrackers erupting from your ears.
Well, unless you want to find yourself subsequently cradling that busted brain in your hands -- regret leaking from your eyes in the form of bitter, bitter tears -- you'd best step away from that monitor and power down your smartphone.
By now, we all know that it's unwise to drink and Facebook (and text, and e-mail and do anything that involves other people, really), but it seems that we haven't quite learned our lesson when it comes to lashing out via social media.
Just the other week, a PR flack for video game "Duke Nukem Forever" took to Twitter to vent his anger after reviewers ripped apart his client. Predictably, his job didn't survive the fallout. And he's not the only one to have been sacked for his SM transgressions.
But a job isn't the only thing you could lose via losing your online cool -- you could bust up friendships and relationships, too. We get it: It's easy to rip the Web a new one when you're really raging. It feels like you're yelling into the vast void.
You're all alone in your digital bubble, unable to see the direct effect your words are having on others or gather the physical clues necessary for an appropriate response. Hence, the aforementioned head explosion.
Read on for five tips on how to manage your online anger.
1. Play a game
2. Write an e-mail to yourself
3. Dig up your funny bone
4. Think to yourself, "What would my mom say?"
5. Just ... go outside" |
i hope this has been a useful tdub service announcement
