Enough is enough

Tuesday, May 09, 2006

How many times can you be pissed off in a day before you snap? Some weeks back, I had an unfortunate opportunity to put myself to the test. It turned out that I can stand up to 6 times before my tongue sharpens and you'd be the sorry person to piss me off the 7th time in the same day. Luckily for my 7th person, he was a stranger driving in front of me when I yelled at him and he didn't have to hear it.

Everyone has his or her limits and it's best never to push anyone close to it because it's unpredictable what happens next. In the world of movies, it can lead to acts of crime. Yeah, I'm being dramatic. Bear with me.

I'm an impulsive and impatient person. This combination does not help when I'm close to my limit. But I want to know the secrets of those who are able to take a step back, bite their tongue, think logically and calm down before acting on emotions. I can easily say that's what I should do but it's easier said than done. During the moment of eruption, anger defies logic.

How do you do it?

Wah, six times are a bit too much, I'd just 'shut down' mentally and then go for a nice cup of coffee to calm down.

A problem with anger management? They have a special place for people like that. White "padded" rooms and a jacket that'll keep you warm at night.
