i have long patience, and i try to understand people the best i could. but sometimes when they reached my so high level of temper, i also explode! I do not like people mocking me specially behind my back... there are times i fight back but because im really provoke too.... i dont listen to other people who says me to do it, its really my choice.... we all have our limits and if i fight back it indicates my anger already bursted and overflowed beyond my level.

i also experienced the same thing with you.. i try to be patient when others make jokes about me, though so whoever has the patience limit.. if the person had reach its limit, it could explode at any time... for me, the best thing to be able to reduce my anger whit channeled into other activities.. like sports, even i used to scream alone in my room..

It's hard to control your temper when it's really provacative especially if coincidentally I'm about or having my period that worsens what I feel so it can't be helped to fight back with those bunch of bullies around you.

It can be hard sure. I try to ignore them. After a while, they stop. The point is not to let them see you have a reaction. Takes all the fun out of it.

Its good to fight back when provoked.Its no use being patient with such despicable characters.They deserve what they are getting.Its good to be patient with the elderly,children and those dull of intellect the rest deserve to be given back in good measure as they have no genuine reason for their behaviour.

if the provocation is merely verbal i let the person tire them mouth. i feel a winner enough not to bite their provocation. my business is not with producing arguments it is to control them. as a child yes i go all out war when provoked but now i had matured to the point that i can take provocations without any sweat. it just make me laugh rather than angry when someone provoke me.

It's human nature to defend one's self. I for one is not a patient person. If you hit a nerve with me, I'll tell you, and I'm not one who just let people trample on me. "Never belittle someone, but never let anyone belittle you", this is a quote from my beloved grandfather and I live by it.

if the person is not worthy to mess out with, then i choose to ignore that person. but sometimes if it really is too much and already beyond my tolerance, then that person surely get a piece of me. :)

yes i do fight back when i am provoked. I get very angry sometimes and i don't care who is in front of me. Sometimes some bullies pick on my younger brother and that is the time they that they hadn't done so.. I can control my anger to a limit only and beyond that i start smashing and breaking everything i see. CHeers!

I agree with you, sometime my temper is over me. Anything that I heard or done to me whoever for sure I will retaliate by word or by action, but not realy devious action. Then at the end I realize my action is wrong. Now I try to remember for myself to control and remember always that the difficult enemy of us is other than ourself.... see you around
