Someone yelled at me and I couldn't yell back, how can I vent?

writing, punching a pillow, drawing, writing them a letter and throw it out, poetry, telling a loved one

Yell into a pillow, talk to a good friend, write an angry letter to the person who yelled at you (without sending it)

When someone yells at us it is human nature to feel embarrassed and angry by it. You can always come to 7cups and talk to a listener if you would like to vent.

If you are feeling frustrated, angry and like you need to get it out, you could do a number of things: 1. Learn to do some relaxation techniques. These can help clear your mind and will calm you down. They are great for your overall mood and they can come in handy in any situation. They can also be done anywhere, are free and can don’t require any effort. 2. Join a gym, go running or do something physical, basically just exercise it out of you!. Not only will the frustration help your determination but the endorphins released will help your mood. Also, you'll get fit as a bonus! If you constantly feel angry and/or frustrated then why not take up boxing, kick boxing or a martial art? Just remember to save your frustration for your sport. 3. If the gym and exercise isn’t your thing, you could take up singing. Why not join a band or, if you’re not too confident and you don’t think you’re a very good singer, join a local community choir - There are some excellent ones out there who cover pop tunes and by being in a choir you can hide behind other people! Singing is proven to be therapeutic and is a great way to get rid of your frustration. 4. Talk about it. Why not speak to the person shouting at you and ask them to speak to you, rather than shouting? Easier said than done but this may nip the problem in the bud. We all need some “constructive criticism” now and again, if you can get it in the right way it’s much easier to take. Whatever your choice, just remember that a minute or two of being shouted at may make you angry, upset or frustrated, but in the grand scheme of life it’s just a couple of minutes of your life. Don’t let it get you down too much and try to avoid that situation again so you can remove yourself from it. Take up one (or more) of the 4 options above, you’ll feel better for it anyway.

You can go alone in your room and scream, listen to hard music like strong letal, hit your pillow, write about your feelings or simply talk about it to someone.

Write a letter for the person, saying everything you wish you said, but dont send it. Its a good way to let it all out without hurting someone else

I find keeping a journal helps me in these situations. I also release some of my energy in productive ways at the gym or batting cages.

You muse talk to them in a calm tone. Speaking directly in a soft tone can help the person calm down.

I wish people would realise that I am here to help them, but I know if I am to really help them then I must stay there through the unpleasantness and just listen to them.

You can give yourself some space from every1 and in your personal space scream or yell do whatever u need to release the anger. Screaming back at a person that is already screaming to u will not help solve or cool anything. So not screaming back was the right thing to do in that situation.
