I totally forgot to write something in my blog on the weekend. I was busy doing work.. I had to debug a game for work and it had many bugs that it really frustrated me! I was gonna go insane.. phewwww.. So now I am back to normal.. ready to type away.. I will post this image from a forward I got.. I just thought it was funny.. lol
All of a sudden I am thinking that I am waiting for something so unknown… just waiting for nothing basically. I don’t know why I have this feeling right now. or why I thought of the play “Waiting for Godot”. I don’t know. I wonder sometimes what us humans are always waiting for. Are we waiting for a better life. Are we waiting for death? Like every day, do we have to get up and go to work or school or whatever and do that.. then wait till we finish everything then go home. Same routine. Waiting and waiting for the end of the task and just repeat it the next time. It’s pretty much waiting for nothing really. Really nothing to wait for…
Wohoo.. I dyed my hair dark brownish / brown and cut my hair in layers.. it ain’t long and damaged no more.. My eid gift to me!! :P hehehe..
What you guys think? Sorry it is not the bestest picture.. I tried to enhance the contrast so the hair will be more visible. I was wearing a black sweater that is why!
I always thought I had anger management issues at time.. well.. then I realized.. from answering these questions that I am not as bad as some ppl at all!!
Do You…
grit your teeth? No
get a headache? No
get sweaty palms? No
get dizzy? No
get red-faced? Sometimes
get a stomachache? No
feeling like running away? Used to
get depressed? Yes
feel guilt? No

Stuffing
Do you hide your anger? Yes
Do you tend to avoid direct confrontation? Yes
Are there times when you feel bad for getting angry? No. I actually feel better.
Is it hard for you to admit when you’re angry? Yes
If so, you may be considered a “Stuffer�
I am a stuffer I guess
Some reasons why we “stuff” are:
Fear of hurting / offending someone
Fear of losing control
Fear of being disliked or rejected
Feeling it’s inappropriate (not ok) to be angry
Feeling unable to cope with a strong and intense emotion
Fear of damaging / losing a relationship
It’s a learned behavior (but it can be unlearned!)
Living in an unfamiliar environment, such as university
Consequences / Problems:
Anger comes out — regardless
Impairs relationships
Compromises physical and mental health
Escalating
Does your anger “escalate” to rage? No
Do you try to control your emotions, but are unable to? Sometimes
Do you blame and shame the provoker of your anger? Yes
Does your anger sometimes lead to abusive situations? No
Some reasons why we “escalate” are:
Feeling like there are no other choices of addressing the situation
Demonstrating an image of strength and/or power
Avoiding the underlying emotions
Fear of getting close to someone
It’s a learned behavior (but it can be unlearned!).
Lack of appropriate communication skills
Consequences / Problems:
Desired results may be short-term
Possibility of physical destruction
Impairs relationships
Compromises physical and mental health
Legal ramifications
