Your breaking point

Usually when I snap I will have given plenty of warning. But when I do I will lash out verbally and then become very withdrawn. My way of seeing it is that I will have told you how I feel about the situation and then I want nothing to do with you. If one continues to bother me I will simply get up and walk away after I have verbally lashed out. I figure it is not worth me getting all worked up over and blowing a stack. I can only think of one time in my life that I physically lashed out and I choose never to see that side of myself again. The fact is I know if I hit something I am not going to stop until I know it will not bother me again. So choosing to be the bigger person in that situation is the only option for me.

Prcisely at the point when I have had enough in a situation where someone continously bothers me knowing fully well that I am trying to avoid a confrontation with him or her. That's when I will snap, to make them back off.
