What do you do to contain your temper?
I'm a really nice person by nature. But i find myself flying into
rage too easily most notably when someone raises his/her voice
against me. My mind just sees red and rational thoughts blankout
for the moment. And most of the time, i holler back fiercely (can
be fearful sometimes) without thinking especially when i feel i'm
wronged. On worse days, I can even taunt someone to fight me.
[b]Because something in me cannot
take scolding without some form of retaliation. I have a lot of
pride and cannot let an insult to my face slip. I could not care
less regardless of whoever i'm scolding during my
fury.
I regret this, always. It goes against my belief to be of good
character but i'm just helpless against my nature. I alway shout
first, think later. I'm seldom like that but when my blood boils,
its bad. Even when i ironically prefer civility.
I feel this problem is serious and threatens to consume me. Every
battle leaves scar on me and I'm tired. I might get into big
trouble one of these days. But i never wish to hurt anyone at the
end of the day. Be it stranger or friend.
The fire is hard to contain. Does anyone have similar experiences
and advice on coping with temper?
