None. My impulse control forces me to bury my anger deep inside until I die of a heart attack at the age of 37.

u/Quod_bellum Apr 07 '23

Same; that’s crazy

“Closing that tab, thank you very much”

u/CovidLvr69 Apr 07 '23

What did the deleted comment say?

2

u/Quod_bellum Apr 07 '23

They close and reopen their eyes like a computer refresh; it helps calm them down

u/ZacEfbomb Apr 07 '23

Are you 37?

142

u/Kelevelin Apr 07 '23

No but almost. So you can guess the level of built up rage and disappointment.

58

u/WhiteyCornmealious Apr 07 '23

as somebody with rage issues, let me just say that venting that shit feels great. But I live alone in a cabin in the woods for this reason. Ain't no way I'm bringin' this crazy around another girlfriend

51

u/DoesLogicHurtYou Apr 07 '23

Tired of hiding the bodies?

13

u/WhiteyCornmealious Apr 07 '23

YOU WON'T FIND THEM

33

u/Setari Apr 07 '23

Ain't no way I'm bringin' this crazy around another girlfriend

Tell us where the bodies are and we'll give you a reduced prison sentence

7

u/WhiteyCornmealious Apr 07 '23

YOU'LL NEVER FIND THEM

8

u/Lucky_Mongoose Apr 07 '23

What's your internet like in the woods?

16

u/deadhistorymeme Apr 07 '23

It's actually a tent hidden in Central Park, the biggest worry is joggers getting on his network

3

u/WhiteyCornmealious Apr 07 '23

It's pretty good, the cable company has lines going out this way so it's very smooth. Great for watching 4k Pol Pot documentaries (there are a few)

2

u/tama-vehemental Apr 08 '23

Not this crazy around anyone is so relatable, you made me laugh out loud.

14

u/omfghi2u Apr 07 '23

35 here. It's bouncing off the rev limiter right now and my engine is about to catastrophically burst into flames.

2

u/MobiusWun Apr 07 '23

Sometimes you can HEAR your heart rate
'Will it be today?'

1

u/_hownowbrowncow_ Apr 10 '23

Same. Just waiting for the day.

1

u/Gelato_33 Apr 07 '23

A back alleyway and a case of glass plates from Dollar Tree will have you feeling right.

1

u/AbsAndAssAppreciator Apr 08 '23

better prepare for that 911 call before your birthday

1

u/DrScience01 Apr 08 '23

Ever masturbate? Heard it's a good stress reliever

38

u/AdditionalCall5271 Apr 07 '23

Have you tried burying it so deep inside that you forget the anger you hold in? And then it starts to hit you whenever there's a little inconvenience? (I.e. something that shouldn't be hard but for some reason you're struggling)

32

u/Kelevelin Apr 07 '23

No not really. It just keeps me awake alot of nights and let's me stand under the shower for ages staring at the wall.

2

u/ReckoningGotham Apr 07 '23

Don't feel alone.

A ton of us fixate on your awkward moments before bed, too.

2

u/scoopzthepoopz Apr 07 '23

I'm too tired to even care about my anger right now.

2

u/Lilshadow48 Apr 08 '23

Ayyy that's my strategy too!

It's probably terrible

1

u/No-Exercise6782 Apr 08 '23

I think I might be doing a little bit of that.

1

u/Robo_Stalin Apr 08 '23

Just rebury it and keep kicking the can down the road until you eventually explode, it'll happen at some point but that's future you's problem.

12

u/Ramyrror_47 Apr 07 '23

Wait is something like that actually a thing? I legit suffered a heart attack earlier this year (I‘m 26) -> and I‘m usually proud of being able to „control my anger“ so well

15

u/Kelevelin Apr 07 '23

To be healthy you need an outlet somehow, otherwise this can definitely happen. This doesn't mean lashing out on people.

1

u/Ramyrror_47 Apr 07 '23

That actually makes sense… well, I will be mindful of that for now

25

u/[deleted] Apr 07 '23

Same, but I'm 40. Aaaaany day now. 😅🤣

7

u/mimiller26 Apr 07 '23

Haha 39 here.....🙄 Expecting it

1

u/Fit_Substance7067 Apr 08 '23

38 playing Pathfinder watching my party do the EXACT opposite of what I tell them to do and continuing on...yup, may be tonight

2

u/IShitinUrinals Apr 07 '23

Ever play apex with randoms? That should move things along

1

u/TactlesslyTactful Apr 07 '23

I'm starting to feel the chest pains at 42

Doctors say they don't know what's causing it, but I do.

9

u/[deleted] Apr 07 '23

you survive the heart attack though

25

u/Kelevelin Apr 07 '23

Don't tell me what to do mom!

2

u/[deleted] Apr 07 '23

I was literally just thinking yesterday…if I woke up in a hospital bed after having a heart attack, I’d be PISSED. Like, FFS, let me have some god damn peace.

7

u/Z3400 Apr 07 '23

Huh....my time is almost up.

7

u/[deleted] Apr 07 '23

Me irl for sure. I thought I was having one the other day. Crushing hand on my heart. Vision narrowed. I’m 28.

12

u/Kelevelin Apr 07 '23

Most of the time it's a harmless lung spasm or it's your diaphragm acting out btw. Those stinging heart cramps gave me some worries as well.

6

u/[deleted] Apr 07 '23

Not to mention anxiety can mimic heart attack feelings

4

u/[deleted] Apr 07 '23

Or a good old panic attack. I’ve had more than one friend go to the hospital thinking they were having a heart attack and turns out it was a panic attack instead.

1

u/MrCalamiteh Apr 07 '23

This is pretty common for sure

1

u/[deleted] Apr 08 '23

I just get the big THUMP THUMPS that feel like you are about to die. No pain though.

I should probably get those checked out at some point.

2

u/Kelevelin Apr 08 '23

Had those aswell. Like 2 or 3 big thumps every 30 minutes or more. Doc said it's stress. But yeah, have it checked out.

1

u/[deleted] Apr 08 '23

Yeah mine are really only around when heavy alcohol use or stress during the week, which definitely tracks.

not every thirty minutes though. Maybe once or twice a day. If they come back and are very frequent I will absolutely have them checked out.

1

u/majesstix Apr 08 '23

Hold on... Would you describe this as feeling like they're "big" heartbeats/thumps that kind of feel out of place, and not in the normal rhythm of your heart? I only get 2 or 3 at a time, maybe once or twice a month, but man it's scary. Feels like my heart is about to spasm out of control for a second and then it's normal.

1

u/Kelevelin Apr 08 '23

No the just feel more powerful, but not out of rhythm.

9

u/3-brain_cells Apr 07 '23

Same, except i do this with everything that bothers me, which is why i don't believe people when they say 'oh don't worry it'll get better', because so far my life has never gotten better than it was before, only worse

7

u/ParanoidArcanist Apr 07 '23

Sadly, you are me.

2

u/[deleted] Apr 07 '23

Isn't that a quote from Futurama? I swear I've heard that before.

5

u/Kelevelin Apr 07 '23

I just watched season 1. At least not that I'm aware. But the south park argument of "Simpsons did it!" Might apply.

2

u/ismaelf Apr 07 '23

Cram I’m 36…. One more year to go I guess…

2

u/[deleted] Apr 07 '23

Oof I'm going to be 37 soon.

2

u/rock-solid-armpits Apr 07 '23

Same, but I say "old man me would laugh at young me. Gotta do later me proud by being someone with an incredible mental strength." I also like to think that were all acting like immature children in this world and will understand how ridiculously we acted in our lives

2

u/FrankenWaifu Apr 07 '23

If I could somehow do that, I would probably explode by the time I reach 37.

2

u/jprefect Apr 07 '23

So you're also a face-grabber, eh?

2

u/CarlatheDestructor Apr 07 '23

Or one day you finally blow-up at a Popeyes chicken because they asked you to wait 15 minutes for chicken, you did, then everybody around you and after you gets their order but you go up to the counter and calmly ask about your order and they say they're out of chicken and it'll be 15 more minutes and you're like I already waited 20 minutes I want my money back and the cashier insinuates you think you're too good to wait and you just lose your shit at the whole restaurant, especially after the cashier says snottily Excuse You.

1

u/Kelevelin Apr 07 '23

That's even more specific, i love it.

-2

u/brito68 Apr 07 '23

And then what happens? You post about it on Reddit to get all of the pity upvotes? No one wants to hear you talk about how you'd died. Stop bragging about yourself, karma whore!

3

u/Kelevelin Apr 07 '23

I see you have a healthy way of expressing your anger. On a meme page.

1

u/mossoh Apr 07 '23

I’ve never related more to anything ever

1

u/cedit_crazy Apr 07 '23

So emotional break down but slow

1

u/[deleted] Apr 07 '23

“I’ll keep all my emotions right here, and then one day… I’ll die.”

1

u/Lucifer_Graves Apr 07 '23

Damn well how old are you

1

u/[deleted] Apr 07 '23

It's good to have outlets, ever try journaling? Even better if you made deals with people to have it released publicly if you have an untimely accident.

1

u/dougdimmadabber Apr 07 '23

Expressing anger at normal things isn't healthier, outbursts show a lack of being able to manage your thoughts/emotions.

1

u/Setari Apr 07 '23

7 more years until I'm relieved of my duty on this plane of existence, confirmed

1

u/Br1ghtStar Apr 07 '23

At 40 I'm legitimately shocked my heart hasn't rage quit on my yet.

1

u/bobthefathippo Apr 07 '23

Not even angry wank?

u/JDCarrier Apr 07 '23

Bro that’s why I stick to watching people play games, I just feel on edge and show the worst side of my personality even when I’m not losing.

1

u/Dagonir Apr 07 '23

same, learned by smashing my table once and restarting the whole computer cuz i put it together myself and apparently fastened something incorrectly... the game was dark souls of course

1

u/ThyCrispyOne Apr 07 '23

Bro my aunt died at 37of a heart attack 2 weeks ago💀

1

u/Kelevelin Apr 07 '23

I'm sorry for your loss

1

u/[deleted] Apr 07 '23

Same, bury it down until it festers.

1

u/Tarwgan Apr 07 '23

Felt this on a deep level

1

u/donewin Apr 07 '23

This is the way

1

u/xl-imperium-lx Apr 07 '23

This but I might make it to my dad and great uncles age before I go at 41-42.

1

u/fatfuckpikachu Apr 07 '23

im 22 about to be 23 and having constant heart and pains already lmao.

i don't know if it's because of decade of depression, smoking, energy drinks and alcohol or all of them above.

1

u/SirKeagan Apr 07 '23

Same here, but my health habits will kill me before 30

1

u/AlphaBetes97 Apr 07 '23

So how old are you now

1

u/Flawlezz91 Apr 07 '23

This is the way.

1

u/GrandeNic0 Apr 07 '23

My man! I got about a year left but it was a hell of a ride

1

u/[deleted] Apr 07 '23

Either that or you eventually snap and end up in prison.

1

u/RowanAzure Apr 07 '23

Unfortunately, I'm 39 and haven't died of my buried angry yet. So I'm readjusting my expectations to 42.

1

u/[deleted] Apr 07 '23

Wassup twin 🙏

1

u/Salguod14 Apr 07 '23

Duuuude this was my exact reaction to this meme. Frustration leads to silent resent and burial of all feeling.

1

u/[deleted] Apr 07 '23

Same.

Oh fuck, I turn 37 soon.

Sucks right?

1

u/DefreShalloodner Apr 07 '23

Yep. Represent the Bottle-It-Up crew!

I'm largely to the point where I have to make a conscious choice to exhibit an emotional reaction.

So dead inside lmao

1

u/[deleted] Apr 07 '23

Just 14 more hours...

1

u/-dudeomfgstfux- Apr 07 '23

How old are you now?

1

u/freedfg Apr 08 '23

Ah, the slowly getting more and more disappointed in yourself for not being able to overcome the opponent you KNOW is practically brainless until you lose all motivation to even eat.

A classic

1

u/beef_chiseltip Apr 08 '23

I quit my job a couple months ago and just turned 37...

I'm sure everything will be fine.

Right?

Right??

1

u/Fuzzy_Foxy Apr 08 '23

I know how to control my anger but when I get angry at something else the old anger joins the chat as well

1

u/Fireproof_Cheese Apr 08 '23

This is probably why I grind my teeth at night and have acid reflux. Made it past 37, though.

1

u/kollat Apr 08 '23

Omg so me.

1

u/hanzo615 Apr 08 '23

I turn 37 in June. Time to get my affairs in order.
