Life is too stressful and I can't do anything about it, because it's not up to me.

I used to fall into other peoples anger and respond in kind. Now I just look at them and think "What an idiot." I just don't participate any more. I tend to reserve it for those rare situations where it is appropriate. Yes, there are times it is the correct reaction. If you are worried about your anger levels perhaps a little anger management could help. I've seen it work wonders in people to manage their outlook.

One tip. If your anger ever gets to the point you are close to that snapping point, immediately physically remove yourself from the situation.
