I am a very calm person and I don't react and get angry easily so i wouldn't say that I have a temper. But when pushed to it I debate very passionately if my own interests are on the line. If you feel like you have a temper you should really try to reduce your stress anger is a reaction to an idea not an idea in itself. So when you are angry acknowledge that you are only reacting.. and wait for your emotions to subside before you make decisions.

before I had a very bad temper it was very easy for me to get aroused and want to fight... only because i believe in my younger years I was trying to proove something...it was a defense mechanism... now as an adult I've grown to know myself, and God more so I have clamed down allot... I am a very humble and meek person... it takes alot to get me mad ... and it has to be a good reason for me to react in violence

lets see in my whole lifetime i would have to say that I have been in about 5 fights Two guys and three girls... I never started them they were out of defense... being that I was an overwieght child I was talk about allot... and more then some thought they could challenge me because I was quite and humble... but my mother and brothers taught me to fight and how to defend for myself so instead of avoiding the situation I felt compelled to prove myself...

No, I don't have a temper, thank God. I'm a very calm person as well. I've been in a relationship with someone who has a bad temper. It ended up being an abusive relationship because he couldn't control his anger.But I thank God everyday for allowing me to get out of that relationship because he would always threaten me. If you can't control your temper it might lead to something you might regret doing later.

I think an important thing to ask yourself when you find yourself getting angry, is this, "In two days am I going to care about this still?" I've been able to keep from saying some pretty nasty things by asking myself that question.

I belive everyone know that this is true life style. but if we confront trouble that someone misunderstand you or not to say good word haven't reason, we perhap can't control our temper sometime.My friend says that my character is very well,but I found this is also the shortcoming.maybe someone take you as a weak man.and speak to you loudly, I always think I must't angry at that man,I truly like to talk back to her.

Oh,i am really different of you,i think i am a a tough nut,and i am so easy to be angry when i met some unprosperous things.And i am a hotheaded girl,i usually do the things which are not toke into account.I know my temper is not good,and i want to change it,but it is not a easy thing to do,i think i should undergo something to let me to be mature.
