Are you one who's able to control their tempers? Or are you one to blow up? And have a shout fest? Are you the calm one.. or just a calm before the storm? What sets you off?
Me? I have to admit that I am hot tempered and have a very short fuse. Specially when I'm tired, it takes only trivial matters to tick me off.
If you're someone who's hot tempered, how do you control you're temper? or are you even able to. If you're one who doesn't anger easily? how do you do it? How are you able to control your temper? Give me some suggestions and share your stories of when you lost your tempers

just like you, when I am tired or doesn't feel good, I sometimes can't help but to shout at those people who's trying to calm me down. I sometimes can't control my anger. maybe I am a hot tempered, and I am really trying to change this attitude, for lots of the people are suffering from my attitude.

I am usually calm and collected. I let things fester until I can keep in in no longer then I blow. I don't blow too often but when I do I throw people off as they aren't used to it. I usually have my arms a flailing and scream very loud and very profanely. The last time I blew it was at my old boss and we never spoke another word until she quit her job. People are still talking about that one, it was one of my best! Basically I usually keep my temper. Certain subjects make me blow faster though, such as hunting, I really freak out about that subject but I will save that for another post.

I used to have a very, very hot temper. There are still some embers that burn, but I've had to make a serious effort and decide, how much does this really matter? Living with my fiance this past year and a half has also given me incentive as I don't like what I say when I pop off, and I really don't like what it does to her. It's helped me slow down thinking of her, and also the person I want to be. (And works most of the time.)

yes, i guess were the same, I'm really trying to curve my temper and make use more of my patience.. coz same as you I'd like to 'protect' the people I love from the heat of my temper...How do you do it? It's after I had my spell that I get to think of my loved one(s) and all i can do is regret...

I have a hot temper. especially if i am mad to something else i may get angry to totally something different. My friends think i am a " flash in the pan ". And sorry for that but i guess they are right. Don't know why they still do love me :)

haha.. Dun ever attempt to try me ^_^ They will surley regret because once i turned hot with anger, nothing is gonna stop me, and i will be much worse than a tornado.. hehe
BUt now, as i grow up, i have learnt to tone things down, make myself calm down and think of the consequences, be more patient and endure ^_^ Wait till i reach home, change into my running gear, and let it all out at once with my runs ^_^
It's a better and healthier way and doesn't hurt anybody ^_^ hehe
