yes I am short-tempered.my patience is too short,I get angered easily.I don't like being annoyed by people,especially when I am being civil or nice.some people intend to annoy someone,just for fun.I hate talking to those kind of people.in order to get my calm back,I have to stay away from those irritating people.

Yes. I am short tempered. But I am only towards people who doesn't have common sense. If I talk to someone and will have to repeat myself, I lose my temper.

I am short tempered.I can easily get irritated and stressed.I don't have the patience to deal with small,irritating disasters in my life.I can easily fume over an issue in less than 5 seconds.I am actually laidback and cool,but I easily loose my temper over things I really hate and on people who make me hate them.

Yes, I am. I easily get mad but I have a control over it. What i usually do is be quiet and stay away from the person that causes it or go to a place that will lower my temper. A place that is calm and a fresh air to inhale to relax me. In your case you have to control your anger before it controls you. Here's a simple steps you can try: 1. Breathe deeply, from your diaphragm; breathing from your chest won't relax you. Picture your breath coming up from your "gut." 2. Slowly repeat a calm word or phrase such as "relax," "take it easy." Repeat it to yourself while breathing deeply. 3. Use imagery; visualize a relaxing experience, from either your memory or your imagination. Learn to use them automatically when you're in a tense situation. 4. Nonstrenuous, slow yoga-like exercises can relax your muscles and make you feel much calmer. Practice these techniques daily. Learn to use them automatically when you're in a tense situation.

I am very cool headed. Most the time I don't really care enough to get angry in the first place, and when I do get angry it is normally short lived.

I think yes. I easily get irritated by simple questions or gestures regardless who did/said it. Sometimes, I cna't even control my sudden burst of emotions. I am aware that this is not a good attitude, but I really can't help it.
