We all know that sometimes Bouboum can be a very fustrating game. Here are some simple steps you can take to help relieve your anger. Step One:Step away from the situation. If possible, leave the room or office you are in and step outside to get some fresh air or go for a short walk. If you are with other people, let them know that you will need a moment to gather yourself. This will give you an opportunity to compose yourself, and will help you avoid saying things that you will later regret. Step Two:Take deep, slow breaths to relax. If it helps, repeat a word or mantra to yourself either in your head or out loud. Try words like "relax", "it's ok" ,"don't worry", and so on. This will help bring your heart rate and blood pressure back to a normal level. Step Three:Consider the big picture. Sometimes we get very angry over trivial matters that have little significance in the long run. Looking at the big picture will help you put the incident into perspective, and might even make you realize that what happened isn't really as big a deal as you originally thought. Step Four:Think about why you are angry. Take some time to seriously consider this question. Knowing exactly why you are angry will help you avoid placing false blame on a person or event. Sometimes one event triggers the memory of a past event. Try to identify whether you are truly upset about what has just happened, or if you are holding on to residual anger from the past. Step Five:Try to make yourself laugh. While this may be difficult, learning to find humor in difficult situations will make life a great deal more pleasant and tolerable. Allow yourself to appreciate the humor or irony in the situation. Step Six:Remember that anger is a natural emotion. While anger can feel overwhelming in the heat of the moment, remember that every human being on earth experiences it from time to time. Accept that things can't always go to go your way. Warning: If your chronic anger has caused you to emotionally and/or physically hurt others, you should seek professional help. |

This is nice in all but in all honesty it just comes down to common sense. The best thing you can do to prevent getting mad at this game is to just try and have fun. Joke around about your death and play with friends. A short example would be one time I was running as a zombie next to 3 others that weren't and I ended up dying. I just whispered a friend "My little zombie legs gave out so I died" and we both had a good laugh. What really gets on peoples nervs about this game is that they take it way too seriously. While we all want to be the best we ever can and could be, you're still gonna be knocked down a few levels from time to time. When you do get mad about a death or because you got trapped, just think about why and how you got into that situation and try to stop yourself from getting into it next time or find away to counter/prevent it. This is just kind of my take on it and by the end of the day, you should just walk away if it angers you that badly. |

That's pretty much step 5, coolkid. |

I fail to see how all the other steps even relate to Bouboum, so there's really not much else I can discuss other then what you call step five. Now if you don't mind I'm going to do step one and walk away from the situation before it gets out of hand. |

If you fail to see how those steps are helpful, there's not really much to say.... They relate to Bouboum due to the game being so fustrating for certain players. These steps relate to any/every situation you've ever been in that's made you rage, actually. Very important for children these days to take a step back from intense moments they're experiencing and calm down. Believe it or not, but playing games like Bouboum can increase stress and anger issues and this thread is not irrelevant. Just because it may seem like "common sense" to you, doesn't mean that others don't struggle with it. |

while these are good tactics for anger mangement, i believe what shadow was trying to say was that they dont relate to bouboum because they can be used for any kind of situation as you also said. as such, there would be similar threads in the tfm discussions subforums and off-topic |

You did, CrashWolf? My mistake. I guess, maybe, you just didn't really comprehend it since you still suggested that this thread was irrelevant or off-topic when it is clearly not. Just because it's on-topic for multiple things and could be posted else where doesn't mean that where it was posted is incorrect. |

We have similar threads taken from the Discussion Subforum for Transformice such as "What was the first item you purchased?", "Favorite Character", and so on but when you take a look at all the threads you'll notice they all have something in common with the actual game. |

This thread is relevant to Bouboum and anything/everything else that may be fustrating to someone. It promotes awareness to those who don't get upset as much... and helps those who do. Some members really need to read it & put it to use, in my opinion. If you see someone in the game who's really fustrated, do not egg them on. It is important to recognize their inner problems and help them get past the anger they're exhibiting in a less-destructive way. |

Heres a joke about me to make all people laugh: I was playing with my friends, I drank much water, actually didnt really "drank" it, but they made me laugh so hard that I accidently spitted the water all over me. |

Yeah, people can rage very easily (including me sometimes) and there's a lot of moments in Bouboum where I get irritated. This could apply to a lot of other games too (coughcoughflappybirdcoughcough). |
