I wonder if any of you here are experiencing the same problem as I have. I hate to admit it but I am a person who easily gets angry. I have long wanted to change this attitude but it's difficult for me. Some people tease me that I am like this because I'm getting old, but I can't agree with them for I have been like this even when I'm still younger. I hope I can still change :(

I can admit I was in your shoes before but I changed my ways because I knew I wasn't getting anywhere and nobody would want to be with me if i was going to continue that path. The way I was able to overcome this obstacle was by trying to see what made me this way. My father was this way and i grew up that way so in my head i continued his ways so I decided that this wasnt the best for me so everyday i tried to be anything but him. I would start to avoid letting people get to me and purposely making me angry "if they anger you, thats just showing your weakness to them and they will continue". If there was something I couldn't do, instead of being frustrated and try to destroy anything in my way. I would relax and keep doing was I was doing or do something else if i couldnt get what i got done. The whole point is, you have to ask yourself, what do you want, what are you doing in this world, and what do you want to do with the rest of your life because anger is only an option. All I wanted was happiness. And i found that by wanting the simple things people don't really think about much even when infront of their eyes, and that is family, marriage and friendship. At 19 years old and married, my wife can sure upset me at times for things she does but I drop it at the instant i look into her eyes and see my 10 month old kid playing in the livingroom, my nice little home in a wonderful neighborhood and a job that by luck found me and because of that I make a descent living for my family while I continue my college education. It is never to late to change, your behavior is part of your everyday character in your life, it's optional on your behalf which is a choice of what you want. you choose your negative and positive output. Anger thrives in avoidance but yields to hapinnes and positive attitude even in difficult situations and it all depends on you if you let it ingulf you. :)

I do always get angry if something or someone makes me angry for real but I would not say I'm hot tempered. The only time that I really often and easily get angry is when I am reaching the period time as I'm a woman. So I guess that one is very normal. Other than anger management, why don't you try yoga? Because I believe yoga helps us to calm down and take breath and really control ourselves. Just my opinion Good luck and have a nice day

My boyfriend is a hot tempered and not me. He got irritated easily almost on everything. I hate it because his anger sometimes is unreasonable. It came to a point that he is angry at something, but he throws his anger on me. He knows he is hot tempered, but he cannot just change it or even try to mellow it down.

This may be a problem that you cannot fix on your own. Some people have to seek anger management and even medication to control their anger. It seems to be coming much more common. The stress of society and pollution I think is changing everyone. You might want to see a doctor, psychologist or so forth. Or if this isn't possible look up some websites on anger management, tips on helping you control it.

Yes, Anger management program will surely help. I have the tendency of getting angry easily only when im hormonal levels are at its peak. I try to control it everytime i feel that i am being too hot tempered already by taking deep exercise breathing.
