OK, this is what I want to say: I am guilty of blowing up in people's faces if something bad happens to me, or doesn't go my way, et al.

What I do when I get mad is I just scream various things, like obscenities, and this will occasionally be accompanies by me throwing things.

Back in HS, I once got so angry, I tore off a branch of one of the school's trees. Then I turned myself in. Shows ya I can be a hurricane at times if you aren't too careful with me.

I admit I am like this too but maybe not to an extreme. My uncle is also short tempered but I have wondered if he also has AS. His short temperateness is worse than mine, a lot worse. I just didn't notice it until I was 14 when dad took him with us on a trip to the coast. You have to walk on eggshells and you never know what may set him off, same as what you say to him. I was very unhappy with him and I decided I never wanted to be with him again. At least he doesn't throw things or hit or break stuff, he just yells and curses and does verbal abuse and insults.

I have a short fuse on a lot of things.

I have many fuses. Some are infinitely long, and others are really short.

I have always been a mellow person but I was raised that way.

I'm the same as you ,equestriatola. I used to blow up all the time at the slightest provocation, and when I was very small, my mother used to call me 'her little bottle of nitroglycerin'. These days, I've managed to control it, but it will still rear its head occasionally.

I have a fairly short temper, but when I get mad, I usually wind up crying within a minute. However, I have a cutting tongue, so I can do a lot of damage in that one minute. Its a terrible fault of mine.

When I was a kid, I had a nickname of Firecracker because I was so quick to explode.

These days I'm relatively mellow. It's very unusual for me to get upset with people.

Sometimes, I can be extremely short-tempered, but other times, I'm a pacifist.

I have had only one discussion with my friends and it was not a big one, and they are my friends since 1994. I'm not short-tempered.

But it's true when I watch the news I get bad mood easily.

In HS I once got angry because someone was tearing branches! Trees surely don't make anyone angry, so please don't take it out on them!

As long as I don't interact with others that much, I don't have a lot of issues with anger. When I do interact with others, it depends on the mood I'm in. Like, you know, anyone else. :wink:

I'm pretty mellow and laid back. It takes a good bit of constant verbal aggravation or argument to get me started. But, once I get there, I turn into a tyrannical beast. However, I usually just leave and go sit in a park or something and cool off. I don't hit or get violent, especially with women. I don't believe in it.

I have a terrible temper. When I was in High School, I once choked my father while he was driving. It's nothing that violent now. I think it calmed down when my hormones did.

I had the same thing, but it started in primary school, even. Kids would tear leaves off trees or yank plants out of the ground, and I would just fly into a rage yelling that 'they are living beings, too'.

At this point in my life, I manage to avoid the tantrums, but it still royally pees me off when I see people just treat plants so cavalierly. But then, I also have a nangka tree and a ginger plant in my care, and they're not for consumption.

I'm impatient and can get quite agressive, but I usually don't show it. I'm just boiling on the inside and thinking "I'd really really like to kill you" but I'm good at holding it back.
