I recently picked up the guitar. i found it very therapeutic. you can really get into some strong strumming to "let it out" it is not so difficult to learn there are very good free lessons available for beginners on the internet.

Go for a hike

A long walk on a short plank

So many good ideas
-Get a cement wall,
-Take a hike,
-let it out
-A long walk on a short plank.
Maybe if try them all.. like taking a long hike on a short cement wall while smashing a rotisserie chicken stuck in a guitar. That should do it.
But serously, Thanks for all of the help. Even the ones that were facetious (i hope) showed me that people care about me and are listing.

I don't hurt other people, and I don't often lash out. I usually smile and nod, people know me as a very friendly guy, When I do get angry it happens in seconds, not enough time to grab a guitar, and if I did, I'd probable throw it at the cement wall gibbor built in my house and then take shlomo's plank and send it to serenitys hike.
I guess you are all getting at the same point. When I smile and nod, I'm probably doing the anger version of white knuckling. I've got to find a way to defuse before I get angry.
On that note (d minor) where are those on-line guitar lessons unanumun was talking about? (I think I'll try that before a long walk on a short plank. )

I'd like to give a bit of input on this matter as I find that I have this issue sometimes. I can be caused by a lack of communication. sometimes I find that smiling & nodding aren't helping myself rather hurting myself,so therefore I'm trying to fix this problem by being more assertive. Now, I don't mean agressive, I mean to voice your frustration to the other person in a non-biased/non-judgemental way. I agree that this isn't an easy thing to do, but it's alot better than hitting a brick wall.(especially for your hand). That being said, I still do agree with what everyone else said that it may be helpful at that present moment to release the tension. Hatzlocho Rabbo!

Thanks. Communication is probably a factor. This reminds me of something Serenty wrote earlier on this thread.

Just in case you were half serious: Here is a great start for free lessons

Of course  I was half serous. I was even 3/4 serious.  I'm debating because someone offered me an old guitar, but I live in a very crowed home (b"H), so I really don't know where I'd keep it. I may give it a try though. Thanks.

Nice! I've been wanting to do that too. Maybe we can make a band

What would you call the band?

Guard Your Ears!

Lol

Why are you angry? Are you thinking that something or someone should be different than what they are?
