Much harder question to answer. If the aggression comes from external stimuli, learning to mitigate it is just part of growing up (and, I don't mean reaching the age of majority; I mean growing as a person... there are people in their 50s and 60s trying to figure some things out — that's why older folks say youth is wasted on the young, because after figuring a lot of these things out, they haven't got that much time and certainly aren't in their teens or 20s). Like for example if it's road rage — people making you mad on the road — leave earlier, first of all, as that reduces the stress of reaching your destination on time; second, try listening to more soothing music. This is subjective — if metal calms you down, by all means, horns up. In fact, it isn't even metal music I'm thinking of driving aggression behind the wheel — it's political news and political podcasts. Especially the ones telling us who to fear or who to hate. For most of us, the most harm we will do is actually to ourselves and our loved ones rather than the people our political masters tell us to hurt or hate. Focus on something else. If you prefer talking to music, audiobooks are awesome. While the bestsellers tend to feature a lot of tense situations (drama), there are some that are lighter. For me, I go for Japanese light novels (equivalent to young adult fiction). So, like adventures and stuff. The ones made into audiobooks have also been made into anime, and they usually get the actual anime voice actors to read you the book, so, it's like anime in audio/spoken format. If that's not your jam, well, there are loads of other options. As for music, I can point to a handful of songs I just cannot get mad if I'm hearing, but they wouldn't work for others.

Rules (interactive)


Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.

On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.

If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.



Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.

If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.
