Temper tantrum, attitude...behavior control

I use to be pretty hot headed but as I got older it just took too much work to get angry. it is easier to just stay calm and let people make fools of themselves carrying on. As I look back I probably did this enough myself to have plenty of credit in the bank.

attitude control maybe i am just stupid who can't control my own temper. i read Donald duck to learn how to control my temper. and having uncontrolled temper would make people surround you annoy

I was recently presented with a weapon, strange how it might seem but this tool I was given was strange to me, I knew about it but never knew how to use it for the positive, I was always willing to let my attitude, temper, anger control me, but having therapy has helped me a great deal. The weapon is straight forward, it's what we all have in us, but some of us can't or won't use, and it's so simple and yet so difficult at times. Rational thinking! I tried it out at first it was hard, battling irrational against rational but when you are spending the time doing the battle you are forgetting to use the normal reactions like anger and hatred on people. You view a comment or a thought rationally and you put it into perspective. I still have moments when I slip back into my old self but that's to be expected. I try to control my negative emotions and turn them around with the help of rational thinking. Sometimes I even know I am falling back into the same old routine like hurting someone because they have hurt me, or getting upset because someone has said something to me and wanting to retaliate but rational thinking has started to make me think twice and that my behaviour is affecting others, it's a vicious circle and I am starting to realize that.

My attitude about everything in life controls me. I try to get it under control but then go wrong for me daily. Every time I try to have a positive outlook on life, bad things happen and it flares my temper right up. I try to control it but I always expect the worst now.

Most of the time I have control of my attitude and outlook on life. The rest of the time I am not in control. I have a hard time keeping this balanced.

Hi raydene! I am a very emotional person but through the years I have learned to keep it at bay. I am in control somehow but sometimes not. With anger, I can always control it and be calm and rational even though I am shaking inside. With love, that is what I can not control. I just want to show all the people I love how much I love them and I do not usually have any reservations or whatever. With anger, temper and tantrums I can control but with love I don't think I can and if I can, I don't think I want to. Take care and God Bless!

I am in total cotrol of myelf. When something upsets me I express my eelings on the topic (quite often I do that in writing) but I never act in an angry way. I don't raise my voice, I don't take my anger out on other people. My husband likes to tease me saying that I'm impossible to fight with, and that I always win because I don't lower myself to the level of one who would throw a tantrum.
