Have others decide how I feel?

I don't know, but being an average human being, my moods depend on the one hand what's going on in my head, and the behaviour of other people. And I find that absurd, to say the least. I'm only just becoming aware of it how powerful the influence is other people's way of doing things affects me. For example, people down here tend to block the entrance to my garage by parking their car in front of it - difficult to believe, but it happens. And I get MAD. Which, when looked upon logically, is a pretty irrational response, but their you go. Instead of finding a way to educate them I imagine myself smashing their cars up - not very mature. So I'm working hard on it. Which behaviour of other people affects you most?

I know the feeling, but have never resorted to violence. The thing that annoys me the most is people being totally inconsiderate. Like you said about your garage door being blocked, people playing really loud music in their gardens on a sunny day so everyone living within 200 yards gets to share their taste in music against their will, people letting off rocket fireworks in their tiny back gardens ensuring that they upset all cats, dogs and babies in the area.....the list goes on and on!

My friend, no one could escape the situation of being irrated, because we're just human in nature.
But letting other people to control our emotions at all times is just letting them to control our lives,depriving our own happiness, which should not be the case.
I'd been often in a situation to be emotional, but thanks for the knowledge I've got from my readings esp. the book "The Secret". Hope you find one for you!
