What is computer rage? Why is it getting mentioned more frequently now a days? Will it become one more problem for all of us or are there methods to control this issue? Do you suffer from this problem? Let us discuss about Computer Rage.
When any of us takes out his/her anger on the computer by physically banging it or verbally abusing it, it is called computer rage. In most of the cases the abuse may be verbal but when it becomes physical, loss of property occurs.
The problem of Computer Rage occurs when we experience frustration that is mainly related to work on computer. When we are unable to handle the frustration, we go into rage.
During physically abusing the computer one may hurt oneself and that may be dangerous sometimes. After all a lot of electricity runs in a live computer. Bashing a live screen can give a shock. Please try to avoid this behavior. How to control this behavior? Let us find out.
As soon as you feel that you are entering the rage, get away and begin talking to yourself about your frustration. If possible talk to a friends. Or talk to yourself about what pressure is doing to you, how it is driving away joy from your life, how it is controlling you and making you feel angry and frustrated. As you think about various work related issues, the rage reduces and a clearer picture emerges.
Of course you know that taking out anger on PC will not help you reach your goal faster but the pressure becomes so overwhelming that you just cannot desist. But regret follows afterwards and self respect also goes down after such episodes. Better to analyze the issue while it is developing and try and find better solutions, such as pushing away the deadline, or whatever that you are not able to perform and causes your rage.
