I'm amazed by how effectively a long walk in nature (particularly on a warm and sunny day) is able to lighten up my mood and remind me of how banal and inconsequential some folks' typed rage-comments are.
Admittedly, if I have commited myself to an entire day inside of a dark basement apartment (where I live with my boyfriend) and I have not seen the light of day recently, and I have been listening to noises that upset my feeler all the while (coffee grinder, electronic humming, loud washing machine, or constant vehicle traffic, etc.), then I'm really already quite close to the edge of snapping at someone - it's just that these things are so common and everyday, that I rarely even stop to think about how they are affecting me subconsciously. And so, bothered by these things and others as well (for instance, knowing subconsciously that I need to be making dinner, or knowing subconsciously that I need to make a phone call) are already bothering me. And so, then it just takes a little bit of prodding or name-calling ; then I've entered into cold, feelingless states just to keep from snapping. Or I have snapped and gone bananas - like, acted foolish like a monkey, to try and force light-heartedness into the tense situations in a match.
Mind you, I am one of those sensitive types who has got a sensitive feeler to begin with, so not everybody will be put off their balance into a tilt IRL by the same kinds of noises.
Still, a quiet, peaceful and long walk through nature, where I can see everything in close detail and get away from every loud, droning aspect of city life for a little while ... this has helped me immensely to come back to my computer, almost impervious to their "silent" anger. It's even funny, then, to see some people blow up ... except now, when I have just recognised that they are the same as me, and are probably being upset IRL gradually from all of those things, too.
