I have a short temper and I regret it

I think these situations are quite common to everyone. Even I had done the same to many of my friends years back. It took a lot of time to change such a attitude or my behavior. Really such uncontrol emotions really hurt our dear ones . So it is very important to change it day be day.

that is one reason why i didn't take education course.. LOL! those are expected from students, of course teachers should always be patient and calm, but we all have boiling points..that is just but normal..just be careful not to hit anyone..hihi=)

It is bad to have short temper, you need to change, just think with your head clearly before you go ballistic over some small little things next time. Be sensible, everyone make mistake, if the mistake is make unintentionally, and doesn't harm you, then you need to remain calm and understand, make sure to take it easy next time over someone mistake or error, your students are just being playful not malice.

a pleasant day to you jemmarespinosa, with reference to your topic, it is really difficult to dealt with our temper. having today's generation, a lot of odd attitudes are rising. however, with what you have encountered today, perhaps, try to do a minute of breathing exercise whenever you are having a not so good temper. hence in that way, you can somehow release a bit of tension. or maybe try to have a couple of minutes having a short coffee break. in that way, you can somehow think of a much better way before completely dwelling in the mood that you have.

When I feel like I'm going to lose my temper I take a time out. I try not to lose my temper in front of someone,especially children. When it comes to losing my temper in front of children I try not to like in the situation you described I would have made it a learning experience,such as this happens to dominoes, or make it a class clean-up. Try to find ways to turn your temper into something constructive.

Like what other lotters have said, anger is a normal emotion that occurs when a situation displeases us.When I was in highschool, A seatmate was fond of calling me names, I tried my best to ignore him until one day, I gave him a lesson he could never forget. I grabbed his collar and knocked him down.He didn't show up in school the next day. Now that I am an adult ,I still get easily annoyed but I try my best to not my usual crankiness get the best out of me in public. I suppress my anger as much as possible to avoid making a scene but there are down side from doing these, my heart goes pit-a-pat,my hand trembles and sometimes,I feel terrible abdominal pain.I think,it is better to feel this temporary manifestations of anger than to make a fool out of me in public or hurt someone I love with harsh word which I will not be able to take back.

hi jemmarespinosa ouch you lost it with your studerents. trying myu old fashioned idea . count to ten, then think about the situation and if still fuming count to one hundred slowly and visualize yourself in co mm and of the situation. tell your students not to rough house as looke what happen. then ask them to help you clena hypthe mess they made,. and to think about how it all happened. ask them all to write a paper suggesting how they could have avoid causing a problem like that again.

For me controlling my temper is difficult. I guess, I only get to lengthen my patience by constantly telling myself that getting angry immediately drains me of energy--and this I don't want to experience very often. Over the years, I try to be with my baby brother and I get to lengthen my patience by usually being in a playful mood whenever I am with him. If I feel/know that I am having a short fuse during the day, I usually cut off my time with him short or else, I'll regret getting angry with him for reasons whose fault is mine. Try to be in a playful mood everyday. Or try to see the positive in things. For example: when your students knocked off your cabinet, see the positive there where not one of them is hurt. Before making a move, try to pause for a bit and assess from another person's view point was is happening and find the good things that is happening. I know this is a bit difficult but try making it a habit and I'm sure it'll pay off. Hope this help. Have a nice day and Happy MyLotting!

My husband also have the kind of temper you have, before he has trouble controlling it as our grows up, since our child is such a handful he always got yelled at and he even spank him. It always break my heart when both of them are having a row and of course as a mom i would always go in between them and try to get my son away from his dad. My husband always told me that i'm making my son head grow bigger because of that. Anyway, all of that changes when one day my son purposely ignore his dad. I think my husband realizes his mistake and ask me what he did wrong. I told him his temper is the problem since he always get angry so easily and would not even ask why a situation turned out the way it is, always blaming his son for every single thing. I told him if you're so mad, tell your son what he did wrong (if there is any) plus tell him whats the right thing to do also. Plus if he really can't control it he needs to get out of the scene first walk around somewhere until his temper lessens and think about the proper way to handle his child.

It is a normal reaction for something that made you upset considering the amount of mess with just one knocking of a cabinet. Just apologize to your students about it. I know they will understand why you felt that way.

Well it is always a domino effect most of the time. Hard to control temper but we really have to extend our patience so other people wont be succor with the temper. Sometimes high emotion is bad cause we always so fast to react on things without thinking about it well.

Like you, I am short tempered but it's only for short term. I mean I think you can control your emotions, it's a matter of making it a habit. Practice not getting angry all the time and go to angry management therapy. You can pause for a while and reorganize your thoughts. That's what I do.

I also have a short temper, but my husband taught me a trick so I would't blew up and regret everything that I have said and done. He told me to recite the alphabet backwards. Half-way thru, I would have forgotten what I was angry about.

It is just a normal traction , but you got to tamed it for it will bring trouble and even degrade you as a teacher. All people look up to a teacher especially words coming from your mouth. A teacher is by herself an example. So be very careful , don't speak when your at height of anger , try to be listen or you may walk out from that place then be back after 30 minutes. All then will be seen with reason and with coolness.
