Do you have a short fuse?

[Sundance]

I do have a short temper and I was wondering what on earth could I do to correct myself.

I have gotten in trouble many times at work due to my nervousness and my stuborness.


How do you control yourself? Need tips as I was just told today by my wife that I have a temper problem...not that I didnt know it..

 

[Devastation]

self control

 

[tiger88]

i used to be a super hot head....i am cooled down no even on juice

roid rage is a myth IMO

 

[Sundance]

self control

That's too broad of a solution..

 

[Devastation]

suppress your anger when it flares and release it through other means

 

[ZKaudio]

omfg stfu i hate you. sry

 

[biteme]

The solution is simple. Go out and kill a few people and the anger will be out of your system for a while. This must be repeated every few years or so.

This is only for entertainment purposes. Please don't actually do this.

I'm pretty laid back, unless you look at me wrong

 

[trauma]

know your limit. find it, then just as you reach it, walk away.

learn how to tell people they're retards in an intelligent way...always smile!

most of the time i can be satisfied by busting someone's chops with my words...getting physical only makes the police want to talk to you! bad cop!

I have a short fuse as does most family. I've someone how learned to control it... most of the time anyway. Not sure how I do that. I think i suppress it and end up with a tension headache and will probably get stomach ulcers someday.

I have a temper too but I try to keep it under control as much as I can ...even though I dont always succeed..

Maybe some sort of meditatation or Yoga could help.

You must recognise the PRE-BLOW UP signs..

Walk away from the Person/Situation for at least 3 Minutes and gather your wits and cool off/

Issues are resolved much better with a cool head and you will be much happier with the outcome..

I have one of those concurrent fuses that build and build and then
its a triple whammy Boom.
Unfortunately for the poor person that sets me off..

I used to be tremendously bad.

nowadays it takes a lot to get me mad, but when I do..........

 

[NoDaddyNo]

What the fuck is your problem?

I tend to have a very short fuse with inanimate objects.

 

[velvett]

Long fuse, damn hot flame.

 

[big4life]

I am pretty laid back when it comes to me, but if someone hurts a friend I don't forget.

So, how did you change?

This is known as a concurrent temper aka Triple Whammy blow up.
It seriously sucks because sometime the target gets all the pent up crap in one dose..

Not good.
Fortunately it only happens rarely any more as I grow wise in the ways of "It isn't worth it" ..

I remember fighting over silly stuff all the time with my Dad.
Even now I won't argue over silly stuff even when I can prove my point if it's not important..

I use to have a fairly short temper. Learning to meditate has helped a great deal in this area.

Thank GOD..

 

[WODIN]

Thank GOD..

Every day...You? LOL!!!

 

[Y_lifter]

DUDE, it you could only hear the stuff I pray about every day all day you would laugh..

I actually meant the comment more like "Thank GOD you calmed down for everyone sake around your Huge Ass".

bro thats great advice. unfortunately to me it sounds like you have a demon. yes you are posessed. me and WODIN offer an exorcism service, but only three people have ever lived through it. they shall remain unnamed as they all had extra appendages and one has a mace for genitals, another an orange whiffle ball bat. they have no demons.

 

[Liftbig]

most the time i try to be very calm, and just laugh stuff off. or ingnore the person all together. i agree with y_lifter, you know yourself better than anyone, and you know the signs and symptoms of when you are about to snap. realize that when its happening and walk away, or laugh.

learn to take your frustration and anger out on the weights....and you will hardly blow up at anyone, and youll look forward to your workouts more becuase its a huge outlet of stress, and frustration.

i know its hard, and we all slip up and snap once in a while. everbody has a LIMIT. some people limits are higher, some lower. just dont sweat the small stuff, and try to be open minded, that alone will eliminate alot of it.

 

[NeverMind]

3 mg xanax a day and you won't give a shit about anything.
Until you try quiting xanax then its quite possible you will be wanted in three states for some sort of ritual killings.

 

[WODIN]

I ...but there are a few things that will piss me off faster than lightening.....

Like what? LOL!!!!

 

[Y_lifter]

...but there are a few things that will piss me off faster than lightening,

You mean the NHL Tampa Bay Lightening ?

 

[theoak01]

it really depends,fuck with my family,girl or people I consider great friends and I lose it.

if someone disrespects me I usually brush it off,but the odd time I will snap and when I do there best be 3-4 big guys to pull my ass off and hold me down

 

[c-sharp minor]

Having a short fuse is great.

I've screamed so violently at work I've made my throat bleed.

Hate is your friend.

 

[Dial_tone]

I have a really short fuse to the annoyment stage but a super long fuse to the point of wanting to break things or people.

 

[toga22]

Short tempers...especially at work, are going to get a person into trouble.

I have a very short temper...however, I also rarely let it be seen. I work in an awkward situation, where I am the only female amongst 7 other men. So a lot of things I have learned to let slide. Which to be successful I have to. If my co-workers aren't comfortable talking or are always on guard when around me...the "work team" won't be successful.

When a nerve does get hit, I have learned to focus on something past the person. While focusing, I reword what I want to say in my head, so it comes out sounding positive. Actually, with enough practice at this, I am usually able to get my point across and am able to change peoples mind/position just by the way I say things.

It goes back to the whole honey/vinger fable.....

Good Luck to you!!

LMAO. My good friend use to say that I was the nicest guy he knew until someone fucked me over.

 

[plornive]

I like a girl with a short temper. mmm...

I think one way to stop losing it is to realize that throwing your temper will not get you the result you want. You need to learn this inside and out, and you will no longer lose it.

You may, instead, sadistically hurt someone in an effective way.

Basically, I am telling you to change your anger management style from "explosive" to vindictive and manipulative. Very effective.

And I like biteme's idea of killing people. That helps too. I think.

 

[Y_lifter]

Go after Latins or Redheads then.

 

[plornive]

Go after Latins or Redheads then.

LOL
Good idea, but they are pretty rare in Hong Kong! Chinese girls are a bit too tame. Paki, Taiwanese, Thai, now they are feisty. The girlfriend with the worst temper was a Paki.

 

[DepressiveJuice]

besides driving, i dont have a bad temper. actually, im a very nice guy- to a fault
