Current Events > What is your IRL temper like?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Im a very laid back driver, however I lose my shit when I spill a drink or stub my toe or something.

I haven't raised my voice in 84 years

I can't remember the last time I got properly angry.

I used to be an incredibly angry person, so much in fact that I'm positive it would have, in one way or another, killed me. I've simmered down a lot these days, almost to the point of being too calm at times, including those when it's not expected or appropriate. I sometimes worry that this, too, in one way or another, will kill me <_<

Volatile.

On public: salesman mentality.
Always putting a smile despite I'm creating a scenario of murder in my mind.

On personal space: mostly apathy with some anger issues if being pushed around.

Are you actually a salesman or just miserable all the time

always controlled and internalized.

if something is super wrong or sets me off (e.g. my lawnmower topic from ten minutes ago), i wait until i can get back to a controlled environment alone. in this case, after the mower farted out and didnt restart, i didnt start punching the mower or jostling stuff or anything like that. instead, i walked calmly back inside, made sure all windows were closed, and just started shouting FUCK and venting to no one. i dont even get physical and throw pillows or punch shit or anything like that, it all ends at yelling.

generally speaking, it takes a lot to get me to this point at all. prior to the lawnmower today, i cant remember the last thing that got me to that point.

tldr im the calmest mf of all time in public and it takes a lot to set me off, but if i get set off, i still always wait until im alone to blow off steam

I have a very fiery temper, but I'm usually good at keeping it to myself... unless someone decides to tell me to calm down or bothers me in some other way. If that happens, it doesn't matter who you are because the rage will spill out, :/

Both?

Can't remember when's the last time I was genuinely mad at something.

Sure I get upset at stuff like the recent hate crimes that have been shown on the news, but I never raise my voice or feel like I need to punch a wall.

Usually really calm. I get really silent any time I get angry. There's only been a few times I've completely lost my shit.

Got to be a laid back driver here or youd end up killing somebody before you got 2 minutes down the road.

Ah yes, south east Asian traffic.
Flooded by motorcycle, traffic rules are just recommendations.

I have a bad temper which Im good at controlling. Bad drivers, people who get in the way or slow me down, and people trying to intentionally bother me are ways to make me mad, even though I wont blow up.

In terms of people intentionally bothering me, I am talking about sales calls, random door knocks, and those people who stand outside of stores and try to get you to sign a petition then when you go to sign, it turns out they want your email and phone number (data collection to put you on call lists). Some people in my city explode on those types who try to get your info, but I dont

I'm an even Steven

A cool cucumber.

I keep my temper under control. I turn a lot of my anger inwards, partially because that's how I learned to cope when I was in a whole bunch of bad situations and partially because I don't want people to ever feel like I was made to feel. That being said, I really lost my shit two and a half years ago over something really hurtful that happened between me and my former best friend, and since then I've been trying to be more healthy about anger.

It hasn't helped a whole lot, but again, I keep my temper under control. The other day I punched a table at work when no-one else was around. A month or two before, I used to go and hit this scrapped washing machine cylinder when people were doing my head in. I make a point not to lash out at others, and it's only during very stressful times I do stuff like hitting things when no-one else is around. But I've been through a lot, I get angry, I internalise a lot of that and I end up in bad moods sometimes. My temper is fine because I don't lash out at others, but I try to express it if it begins to be too much.

Easy from what people tell me >_> Even when random patients at work are doing dumb shit and telling me to get fucked, i dont care lol. I dont know them and they ain't worth getting hot over. It's no different from randos on gfaqs or xbox live

I have anger issues for sure. I even lost my last job as a result.
