When I'm mad, I usually get really quiet. Being that I'm a quiet person, some people don't even notice I'm mad unless they know me fairly well.
To calm down I'll do one or more of the following:
Call one of my best friends
Sleep
Exercise
Wash my hair
Listen to music
Draw
Shop
Sometimes I'll cook
Play a fighting video game
One thing I try NOT to do, is take my anger out on people other than the ones responsible for my anger.
If it's someone that I know that made me mad and it's something I can't get over, I talk to the person, as peacefully as possible.
