"You provoked me"

I do try to control myself eve if I am provoked. And I know that too much anger can pose some health issues, too. But sometimes, could only take so much that I lose control. But most often than not, I am just quiet.

It used to be much harder when I was younger but there are things that I do to keep from losing the temper. It takes practice for sure and when you work with people, you just never know. I take confidence in the fact that people anticipate that you will become angry and lose composure. When you don't and react in a calculated manner, a manner they can not "fight" with, it tends to fluster them.

Hi ak! It is partially true that someone could provoke you. It is for us to get provoked by any statement or personal comment about us. If we do not want to get provoked, how much anyone may try s/he can do no harm to us. We need to keep our emotions checked when someone makes a nasty remark relating to us. I face many nasty remarks from the people around me and from my boss. I momentarily feel upset and then it gets back to the business as usual. I feel the person who is in the habit of passing unpleasant remarks is showing his/her true colours and his/her behaviour is no reflection on my thinking and my personality.

hello mylotter, difficult to handle one's temper. and as for me i will stay away from the person whom i am angry with.

i thought when we provoked by anybody just let it be and dont get mad, what for? that make your energy out more and more, what the usefull for yourself? nothing. just let it be and see watch going on or if you dare provoked them back, are you dare? hahaha... just be calm youself and dont think too much, just think what for i get angry because with your angry dont make the condition more better or even getting worse. Slower down your talk and lower your volume when talk, it works.
