for me a short temper is a weakness because a person who easily get hot temper never think good or he/she move without any thinking of on what will happen after that,so its a weakness of a human being,to overcome it in my experience is to walk out and calm down your self.

I think it is a weakness because you can't control your temper. My boyfriend kind of has a short temper and it does bother me. He isn't violent or anything but he is quick to get angry and want to do something about it.

I think that short temper is a weakness...cause when your mad, you don't really get to think straight. All you think about is your anger and sometimes you can't think out of reason. I guess one way of overcoming it is to just try to calm yourself first. Get out of the scene, like if your in a heated argument, try to leave...just walk away for a moment so that you could control your temper. Then go back if your ready to talk.

Hi -- I think all tempers whether they come with a short or long fuse are challenges we need to overcome in life. I do not view it as a weakness, just a challenging opportunuty we face. Anger is an emotion that we either allow others to make us feel or not. By refusing to let someone else exercise control over our emotions, we can make short tempers a thing of the past.

Hi, I feel that it's a weakness. If I am angry, I'm controlled by emotions and can't think properly - it will affect my actions or decisions adversely.
