Before coffee? Yes I'm ready to take a shotgun and blast the chirping birds in the morning for waking me up. GFS place there's those guy with a dodge charger that revs it up early morning. NGL I'm very close to slashing his tires, keying his doors, than taking a piss on the handle and window. Also when someone yells at me I'll yell back louder. I've also stabbed the shit out of someone with the back end of a butter knife into their ribs and stomach repeatedly till they were coughing blood for talking about my family. But that was back when I was 14 or 15 and by my 20's I haven't been in a single violent confrontation. My girlfriend doesn't have a gun cuz Cali is insanely strict. so I went out and bought an axe just in case and keep it hidden. If anyone causes issues I'll add to the intimidation factor. ☺️

I don’t have a bad temper as such, it’s more just controlled aggression.

i can go from chilled n placid to full on crazy in less than a second and then back again.

there is also the professional side of things, I can bollock a team member then be chatting and chilling at lunch in pub with them, zero issues.

socially I don’t have a bad temper, I can however drop in to parade ground mode and raise my voice, it tends to work lol.

often just a look is all it takes tbh, no need to lose tempers.

Unfortunately, yes. It's been one of my worst enemies in life. It usually results in me saying horribly mean things I don't mean, like my mouth just blurts out the most hurtful things I can possibly think of. I don't remember much of what I've said afterwards, either, just a few bits and pieces and the fact that I was screaming and yelling.

I've only been in a physical altercation once, in which someone pissed me off the worst anyone ever has and was taunting me and laughing about it, then grabbed me when I tried to leave because I knew I was getting too angry and was going to do something stupid. Very stupid on my part and I regret it now, but I can't say they didn't share any fault in the situation by trying to prevent me from diffusing it.

If I get angry, at some point it's going to come out as tears. Mainly because I feel guilty for getting angry. There's been a few times iv had to us temper to get out of situations, I hate conflict/confrontation, usually that emotion is a release.

Apple1996 · Answer

Nah I'm easy going. Very rarely ill get mad and that takes a lot

ShaTTeredMasterpeace · Answer

I do. Lol I'm trying to get better with it but i go from 0-100 very quickly. Anger management issues and such.

CrazyGirl2 · Answer

I don’t get mad (outwardly) what I do is hurt people! For some eff’d up reason, if someone gets me “mad”, without thinking about it even a little, I usually say, or write something that ends up being very hurtful! It is my least attractive “quality” although it usually happens around my period, it’s not exclusively menstrual related… but still! It’s something I don’t like about myself.

LC123 · Answer

When I get angry I either shout at you if I know you personally like a sibling or a parent or something but if I don’t know you that well like a friend or whatever I go really quiet.
Little things can annoy me but not to the point in getting angry however it’s mainly, people, who get me fired up and I know that’s the case for most people but I mean they could just say something and it would make me so angry for the rest of the day. However like I mentioned above it depends on how well I know the person if I flip out or not

ChiTown33 · Answer

No. I used to have a very bad temper when I was younger. I was a powder keg. I can still get angry but I swallow a lot of anger before I break anymore. And I'm very controlled. Sometimes I think I've become too tame. I endure a lot of nonsense that I probably should call people out on. But I don't like to argue. And trying to set most situations straight is a futile.
I guess you could say I'm not the idealist I used to be. I'm not trying to change the world anymore. Now I'm just trying to live in it.

NorthwestRider · Answer

I am having one right because this silly stupid PC nation. Soo many people still care about COVID and trying to save people. The only people are dying right now from COVID are the silly stupid anti vaxxers. We cannot sacrifice society and the economy to save the clueless. Most people like myself already got the vaccine and the booster so we must move on from society and go back to pre-COVID even if it means the anti vaxxers need to die off. We cannot save everyone because the anti vaxxers are not going to change their minds

DonkeyDan · Answer

I really don't have much of a temper at all, some people say I'm way too laid back, but I just don't see the point in getting angry at most things, life is too short. I mean I can get angry but my fuse is very, very long, but there is a massive bomb at the end of it lol

petitedollbabee · Answer

I used to have really bad anger problems as a young teen, but I’m a lot better now. I get super frustrated at people sometimes, but I just stop talking to them and walk away so that I can cool down, and then go back to the conversation with a rational mind.

Cynicaldreamer · Answer

Not as bad as I used to, but yeah I have a little temper. It takes a lot, or rather, the wrong person or thing to rile me up though!

And I'm sure I've posted this response in the past, but I used to have a terrible temper when gaming. I punched a whole in a door once I got so mad at the rng in a game! Along with breaking several mice and controllers over games that ticked me off... but I think that's more of "gamer's rage" than a bad temper.

FriendlyDrugDealer · Answer

Nope, I’m pretty calm because I usually ignore a person’s tone of voice and body language when they’re upset to prevent myself getting riled up and clouding my judgment. I just listen to their words and try to see what they are upset about and stick to the topic of the conversation. It’s not easy but I make a big effort to keep my calm mindset because when I’m upset , I apply my focused mindset to winning at all costs which isn’t worth it in the end

Apulu_3 · Answer

I'm pretty chill even though in my brain I would be torturing the person with salt in his/her wounds. Or more worse.

Alyssa_11 · Answer

Yes I do. But over the years I’ve learned to control it a bit more.

TrillXHippy · Answer

I do but I do my best to control my temper. I don’t like people who aren’t my boss tell me what to do and they’re younger than me. I realize where I’m at and I just stay calm 😂 I also help out with pcr testing and honestly working over there makes me frustrated. There’s a sign that says “Drop Test Kits Here” and there’s an arrow pointing down to a blue bin. I point directly at it and the amount of times I get asked “where?”

Cherry234 · Answer

Maybe a little bit. When I'm angry or frustrated I don't always blow up. But once in a while I do.

BipBipLeddus · Answer

I'm well-known back home for my short temper and aggressiveness.

It's fine nowadays. More so when I was younger my instinct was "fight" rather than "flight" and it didn't take me very long to get there.

BungusHighFivePizza · Answer

nut really but sum people say dat. but sum people have no fighting spirit and sum people have no honor. i use fist where others use gossip and backstabbing. so i look like barbarian 2 most people but they look like snakes 2 me

ShadezMcgee · Answer

Depends on the situation and the person that may be the instigator. There's a reason people who know me never test my patience because I can get very nasty when I am mad.

r2cute · Answer

usually not but sometimes i can get really mad. depends on day

SpiderManFan2002 · Answer

It depends on the situation. Sometimes I don’t care and other times I just explode, so I guess I don’t really know how to answer that I’m either all or nothing lol

Aerissa_Jade · Answer

If I have a fuse its soaking wet, you'd have to use a blow torch to light it... but it does go to a huge pile of explosives.

Jasmine-Darkfire · Answer

I'm more likely to cry than get upset, but I can get a little bit but won't last long and I won't do anything about it.

SaoirseS · Answer

I’m upbeat and easygoing. But if someone steals from me, it can get real ugly real fast. I detest thieves.

josephinelcajon · Answer

I am scarry in that I am very quiet and then when I hit my boiling point, I blow up violently! It takes a lot to get me to that point.

NathanDavis · Answer

not at all... my tolerance and patience are of astronomical proportions

andreasderjuengere · Answer

My ''temper'' always is GOOD :) But I do know the art of (calmly) insulting someone back - and make him say 'thank you' for it.

JosyJosy · Answer

No, worst is maybe running my hands furiously over the keyboard which is the result of getting abused by a darksouls boss for hours

NopeWhatTime · Answer

I used to, but anger management therapy has helped with it

DaveToo · Answer

I have PTSD, so loud noises sometimes set me off. Inanimate objects that I can no longer control properly, piss me off.

xJayleenx · Answer

No I’m pretty calm despite my anxiety when I get high anxiety I usually just cry and I don’t like arguing I tend to just say a sentence and walk away

AndrésC64 · Answer

Sometimes, but it's getting better. I can still go from 0 to 100 in an instant occasionally.
