Losing your temper!

I'm one of those good person who turn in a monster, that's what some of my friends would always refer to me whenever I am frustrated. Though I get frustrated at times (not sure how many times though), I only let it out to feel relieved. I shout, course at times, but that's my outlet in letting out my anger. Sometimes, my friends would also call my "grumpy" but that's meant in a funny way!;) BTW Am not from the US, so I guess everyone does have their "times like this/that." ;-)

I wonder if he is counting actual temper outbursts, or just feeling like you want to? I go through whole days when everything makes me feel angry, but I recognize my feelings, label them and put them away, until I reach someone who is a good listener and will not judge me over my feelings. How many times to I display my temper, probably not more than twice a week. Probably less. If I do give in and have an outburst, yes, I do regret it. It never makes me feel bettter to lose my temper.

It is very very rare for me to lose my temper, I think the only times I have lost my temper is when I lived with my ex and then it was common, he would enrage me so much that I would totally flip I think he was the catalyst and I have never seen myself get so angry in all my life! Is it any wonder why I had to get away and save my sanity. Even counting to ten didn't help or taking deep breathes. He was impossible and I was afraid to say that my temper went out of control. Weird isn't it that since I left him I haven't lost my temper once!

When I get angry I try to communicate my anger with words instead of actions. So I let the person I am angry with know that I am angry without using offensive language Sometimes I get so angry that I cry out of anger. It is a normal human emotion and it can be controlled up to a certain point.

LOL nice topic.. i always lose my temper when i dnt have money to buy my things LOL... i cant control it im not feeling well when my mom didnt give me money.. and i will embrace her and kiss her to give me money hehehe.. but i dont do negative things when i lose my temper i transforn it to good thins like thinking positive things..

I loose my temper when I am annoyed... I get annoyed especially when someone find it so difficult to understand somehting that is so simple. Also, when I have to constantly tell any adult what they need to do (things they are rsponsible for), and I cannot stand deceitful person... Oh! and I have absolutly no tolerance for someone who speaks unnecessarily incessantly... I try to ignore it, but sometimes I get really angry...I don't feel any better though when I get angry, I get very tense...

I don't loose my temper at all...hmm...I know few people who do...they are always mad and are using bad words...

Well I about never lose my temper lol.I normally hold it back and also it helps i can vent my anger onto my uncle since he and I chat about the things that bug us and stuff :).Another good thing is like when I'm really angry I go out and hit the punching bag to release some of it :).

I think it depends on the week but for the most part the last few years I think I lose mine maybe a couple times a week - I used to lose it daily :( I almost always feel bad after I do lose it though because I do my best to be the 'calming' effect in other people's lives particularly my kids and grandkids. I think my 'trick' is to lose my temper in my mind then it's over and I can react outwardly calmly.

My first thought was what is John Tesh doing talking about losing your temper and how did someone find out? Well, I'm out of the loop again obviously, since googling and finding that he's on the radio now!! Anyway, I usually try to let it slide most of the time. That means that, like someone posted above, I am in tears of anger about three times a week. I usually apologize and try to discuss what's bothering me. No, it doesn't usually help because I'm the only woman in this household and the men aren't great at discussing where they are wrong HAha! I have no tricks though, just trying not to hold things in so long that I explode....Whit

Shoot, sometimes I lose my temper 3-4 times a day! I guess I need to know what constitutes "losing your temper though." I don't scream or anything like that. I guess what I lose is my patience, usually with my husband. I don't normally feel better after losing my temper, I feel better after we talk about it.

I just think that it is a very stressful and demanding time we live in and everyone seems to be in a mad rush to get somewhere. For me, I lose my temper when I'm driving mostly or waiting in line. I also suffer from depression. Maybe that's why I'm angry at times.
