You know how babies scream real loud when there’s a slightest thing that makes them unhappy?
If you get a chance to spend a day or at least a few hours alone, try to imitate a baby and scream as loudly and angrily as a baby does whenever you feel any discomfort at all. Avoid any numbing activities (especially the ones that involve screens), listen to yourself, and whenever an unpleasant feeling, thought or memory assaults you, just scream.
If you have high blood pressure especially, this will be very refreshing. But it won’t be easy. The whole process of socialization is about making us comfortable for everybody else and teaching us to swallow discomfort to please others. And by the way, people who go to sports events or rallies where they can use being in the crowd for some socially acceptable screaming are smart. This is a very good thing they are doing for themselves.

This is good advice, I think.

My brother is very smart, then. He goes to a lot of sportsball games. We’re in hockey playoff season so he has many such opportunities.

Maybe that’s why one reason people slide into road rage while driving. They’re mostly by themselves so if they want to shout like a maniac inside their car there is nobody to hear them with the windows closed. If someone drives not to their liking, they come back mentally into the road and take it out on them.

Yes, this occurred to me, too, and it points to a flaw in the theory. I am not convinced that ragers, or all yellers at sporting events, are really doing something healthy.
I also remember what it was like to scream like that as a very small child. Things that hurt, do hurt more when you are a baby, and things are much more scary when you are that powerless. Later on, you can have more “self-control” because you have more autonomy and power (and it isn’t really “self-control” therefore…).
