Who here still having tantrum?
 

Who here still throw tantrum? I'm 24 and I still do, I lock myself in my room, throw things and scream! I just can't help it, I can't control myself. But it only happens occasionally
:confused:

I was never allowed to throw tantrums growing up. I had a fear of getting spanked. I am almost 62 years old and I can't ever remember getting mad enough break things or throw things. I have slammed a few doors though.

Are you serious? :eek:

Try therapy...better then having to straighten up a destroyed room ....

I'm 22 and have never thrown a tantrum after the age of like 4.

I never got my way if I did... and I wouldnt now. Why bother?

Plus, I personally think its embarrassing.

I don't throw tantrums... I go shopping!

As a former mental health counselor I would encourage you to get involved in anger management classes and find other ways to release your frustrations before someone gets hurt...not deliberately, but throwing things can result in a shard of broken glass ending up in someone's eye (possibly your own). What would you do if you had to live with blinding someone? We all get angry...how we react to that anger is where many of the differences lie. Try leaving the immediate situation and going in and writing down what exactly it is you're angry about...such as, did someone really do something to offend and thus anger you or did they say something that stirred up negative reactions from the past. Also, write down what you'd like to say to that person...put it away, for an hour, a day...then approach that person with your written response and read it to them...there's no rule in postponing a response to an offense. Always dismiss yourself from the situation as soon as you feel your anger coming up...before you get to the point of no return, let the person know you will respond to them after you've had time to formulate a good response. It's okay to say, that angers me and I need a bit of time to think before I respond. Remember, if you're independent, you don't want to be owned by your emotions...or the person who "angered" you...as once you get out of control...you're no different from the other person/situation that angered you that much in the first place.
Just an idea. Kendra

My thoughts exactly. No one would care if I threw a tantrum as long as they got fed and walked.

My bf is 32 and he throws tantrums. I'm totally serious. Esp after a bad haircut, you guys better watch out. Throwing stuff, screaming, punching holes in walls. Do i think he needs therapy? Yes. Will he go? No. Oh well. I just roll my eyes and stay out of his way. Yes I go shopping too. :D

my kinda gal:):)

Bruce always knew not to make me mad at him, because it would cost him - that was 30 years ago though.

Now he would say it costs him whether I am mad or not:D

That's scary. My first husband, that I was married to for 10 years, had a horrible temper and it really scared me. It was a blessing for me that he ran off with a younger woman. My current husband is a sweetheart. We've been married over 20 years and he has been wonderful.

Life is too short to live with someone you have to avoid at times and stay out of his way...I can not imagine an adult having a temper tantrum like a child...life is full of too much stuff that goes wrong...
I am afraid I would turn the garden hose on him like a mad dog.

I have never thrown a tantrum in my life and don't plan on starting now. If you are still throwing tantrums at 24 and throwing things and screaming I suggest you seek the advice of a health care professional.

Um, no...I can't honestly say that I "throw tantrums" in the manner you've described. My 9 yo doesn't even do that. Oh sure, I get irritated and upset, but I deal with it like and adult or go to the gym or tanning bed or something to relieve stress and take my mind off of it. I don't react in the manner you've descirbed.

Nope, I haven't thrown a tantrum since I was a little kid and I am about your age (I am 22 now). I do get to see tantrums entirely too often though...babysit a 4-year-old an 2-year-old twins. Tantrums are pretty unattractive.

My son's 13 year old son threw tantrums soooooo bad it was ridiculous! Thankfully I realized this summer (he turned 14) he stopped throwing them! woohooo Now he'll get moody or say "NO!" but he does not make a huge scene like he used to.

I'm not a tantrum thrower myself but I have been known to kick a wall when alone and really angry. My old house used to have horse hair plaster walls like literally 10 inches thick... I'd break a foot before I put a dent in the wall... however I learned to stop doing that when I moved into my condo and kicked the wall and put my foot through the sheetrock! LOL Things just aren't made as good as they used to be!

My sister married a person that could not control him self and threw stuff, punch holes in the walls and eventually started punching her. She is dead now. It can be dangerous to live with people that can not control themselves.

This is scary :( I'm not hurting anyone. :(

Anyway I found out that shopping and listening to loud music works with me, sometimes no

Me too! But I might have a tantrum if i thought it might do me any good!!( it won't) But it might be fun to embarrass my children!(13 & 3). I can get back at them for all the tantrums they've had in public places!!! I think I would just be hauled away to the rubber room!! Wait...it is quiet and kid free...maybe a tantrum isn't such a bad idea afterall....:p:D

Really? Tantrums, at 24? I wasn't allowed to throw tantrums when I was younger, wasn't raised spoiled I guess. If you have that much of an issue, seek professional help, sounds like you have anger issues.

ps, what's the point of an adult throwing a tantrum anyway? Don't you have to clean up the mess, and replace all the broken objects yourself?

Well, I've been known to throw things across a room ~ but I haven't broken anything yet. So I guess it's a mini-tantrum. Usually over totally stupid things like I'm late for work and can't find my keys . . . .
