Nah. As I've gotten older and understood myself better, not much rattles me anymore. I can call out BS when I see it, but anyone capable of angering you becomes your master. Plus losing your temper is bad for your health in more ways than one.

I don't, I'm usually pretty chillaxed. Don't try to get emotion or anger cloud my judgement.

But I do have a tipping point and when I do get mad it's pretty intense.

For the most part I'm quite friendly and affable person.

Nah. Any agitation I tend to immediately externalize which means people don't want to deal with that and things that aren't alive get yelled at. Keeps anger from building. Plus down here very few people want to start shit
 
How not?! I just have to face work traffic and I'm already boiling up.

And I'm not even part of work traffic, just passing by.

My bad temper was the biggest fear I had about having kids, i have gotten better control of it as I aged. Big problem is there are no signs I'm going to crack, I go from 0 to redline with no warning. But I'm great until I hit tipping point

Same. I'm pretty understanding and patient, for the most part, but when the rage comes, it is out of nowhere, and it is unnecessary (most times). It's been some time since I really lost it, though. Maybe I'm just exhausted lol
 
No, staying in the chill mode is super important and good for overall health.

Confrontations and Road Rage show some people just suck and need to be totally ignored until stabbing them becomes legal. Using deadpan humor with a smile while being mildly sarcastic helps to ease tensions most of the time.

Learned early in life as a mechanic to figuratively "count to ten" due to anger issues from letting inanimate objects Piss Me TF Off. Experience taught me throwing metal objects can be harmful to persons and/or property !

In my youth I'd go to metal shows and take on a pit, or going shooting was a good therapy. The ultimate answer to defeating my bad temper was fear. Fear of losing everything I earned and built in my life.

Older kids were being mean (in my opinion) to my 3 year old at the park. I could see the path confrontation with the parents could take and I talked myself down. I quarantine myself now and give myself time to settle down

It's not exhaustion if it's wise, right?

I'd say you definitely enjoy a degree of wisdom. I never really thought about things the way you put them, but it is pretty true. The fear. I suppose there was a long time in my life when I really didn't have a lot to lose, so I wasn't really afraid of taking any situation to the max, burning bridges, whatever. Most around here know my story, the places I've been and situations I've lived through, and those times kinda taught me a degree of patience, out of necessity. The fear really facilitated it. I view it all as a blessing, bc I've been told numerous times as a younger Bobby that my temper would be my undoing. It may still be possible, but it is very less likely. Maybe it is a good idea to stay scared

Fear isn't always a bad thing, my greatest fear ties into what I said before, it's fear of failure as a father. But I couldn't let that keep me away from my greatest desire of a family.
I'm a pretty good judge of character and I think I'm pretty hard on myself compared to anyone else. That being said to date I think I'm a good dad. I raise my voice, and put on a tone when I need it but I haven't lost my temper with the kid yet. My wife thinks she's seen me mad and heard me yell, I have to assure her we haven't been down that road together. She was in an abusive relationship so I try very hard to consider her feelings and control myself.
Also talking about it and being honest about our faults helps a lot. Thanks
 
If it is a situation regarding just myself, generally no.

If I'm in a position where i'm sticking up for a loved one, helpless person, or animal, then very much so.
 
Yeah a bit. You can only be polite so long but thinks like slow, inconsiderate, unaware people do my head in. Know its outside my control but it gets to be sometimes but I probably am getting a little better at it.

It's hard when shit behaviours are being tolerated and accepted so society is just turning into so said shit.
 
I like to think I have a decently long fuse but once I'm pushed pass a point I'm pissed.
 
Nope, I think I'm an Australian in an English person's body tbh.

Didnt used to take much to get me to swing, for better or worse. Nowdays, maybe if you fk with my family, your gonna get it. Otherwise, I usually am pretty calm
