Do
you have a temper? If yes, what do you do to calm yourself down? In the
car...yup...cussing people out, with the windows all the way up so nobody can hea me...
who do things that irritate me on the road...relaxes me...it's very therapeutic.
Otherwise, if I have a temper, I do not express it outwardly. If anything, I completely
clam up...which makes people wonder what (if anything) is bugging me. I am just not a guy
that likes talking about stuff like that.

Not much
of one, but when it does flare, I go off by myself for a while.
Jane, 62
West Linn, OR
USA
The only way my temper flares up is if I
allow things to boil up inside of me so therefore when I have something to say I say it
and have a lot less stress and no temmper flare ups.

No. I don't have a temper. Never have.
Felicia, 35
Lowell, MA
USA
Regrettably, yes. Sometimes I get so
irritable I want to squash all humans like bugs. To calm down? Retreat!

I really do not have a temper or go off and
explode over things.
Janet, 44
E. Brunswick, NJ USA
not really but every once in a while i get
really mad. but i still get really mad when i dont get my way, i dont know why, maybe cuz
im an only child and im used to it. usually im pretty easygoing though.

I think everyone has a temper, so yes, I do
have one. I don't tend to act physically upon it though. Yelling so only I can hear (in my
car) or mumbling under my breath. To calm down I separate myself from the situation that
made my temper flare and a few deep breaths can never hurt!
Tracy, 24
Ocean City, NJ USA
No, I don't really have a temper. When I do
get angry, I respond in one of two ways. Either I burst out with something sharp and
critical and I usually apologize shortly after or I get icy, cold and sulk for a long time
until the issue is resolved.
Laura, 36
Lowell, MA
USA
Yes, and I usually calm down by
crying.
Jaden, 21
Brampton, Ontario CANADA
Well..it takes a lot to piss me off, but
once I'm pissed, it's pretty much like...back the fuck off. I usually go driving or do
something that requires a lot of energy to calm down.
Angela, 18
Bella Vista, AR USA
I do. . .I mostly reason with myself.
Karen, 22
Marshalltown/Ames, IA USA
I press the base of my fingers of my right
hand on my right knee cap and remind myself that the offender is probably not worthy of
execution.
Jill, 60
Saylorsburg, PA USA
No, not really. I seem to have the tendency
to bottle things up.. if I need to calm down I listen to some "angry" music.
Dianne, 17

sometimes. I just sit there or read
and sometimes watch a funny movie like The Wedding
Singer.
Patty
I think we've had this question before, but
for the sake of answering....I have a bit of a temper but long ago, learned to control it.
When I'm starting to feel it let loose, I usually hop in the truck and take a long,
leisurely drive with no destination in mind. Driving soothes me (except in city
Fisch, 46
Preston, CT
USA
Yes I have a temper and I hate it. It used
to be a lot harder to control but I've learned. The hardest thing is that I have to make
sure I get a few minutes alone to think about what made me angry and sometimes it's
difficult to get that alone time. For some reason it really sets me off if someone is
trying to help me by asking "what's wrong" and all that. It's a terrible trait.
Ry, 23
Yes, a pretty bad one sometimes. I usually
feel better after I flip out on someone, though...just kidding. I don't know what I do.
Just try to chill.
Jennifer, 19
Wilkes-Barre, PA USA
I can be very volatile at times, being that my
serotonin likes to take unexcused vacations. I take a pill to correct this, but before,
boy, there was no way you could stop me until I was ready. Now, I take a deep breath and
try not to think about it. Of course, sometimes you just wanna be MAD. There's nothing
wrong with that, as long as you don't let it get the better of you.
Kristin, 20
IA USA
Yes, I'm sorry to say I do have a
temper. When I feel myself losing it I get away
from the situation (walk away and go into the next room)as quickly as possible or I might
say/do something I'll regret.
Reba, 50+
Silver Spring, MD USA
Yes. and I'm starting to think I enjoy
losing it. I don't usually make any effort to calm myself down, I just wait.
Johanna, 18
OK USA
Well, it takes a lot to get me going, but
when I am upset, it is generally nothing that drugs can't handle. (nicotine, alcohol,
etc.)
Aaron, 22
VA USA
I have a terrible temper that flares up at
innoportune moments. I don't really do anything to calm down, either I just do or I don't
and I stay pissed.
Talia, 24
Wilton, CT
USA
I'm
pretty laid back about most things but if I do get angry I confront the person that I'm
angry with and work it out.
