I have discovered that about myself a couple of months back. It really bothers me. That is one thing I dislike about myself. I don't think before I speak. Gets me in trouble a lot. Most of the stuff that I say when I am mad, I don't mean, and wish I could change.
My question is, should I have to try THIS hard to not to think irrationally? How can I teach myself not to jump the gun when I am mad? It is like I need time to think before I speak! lol
Is this normal?? I'm serious. When I am mad, I get antsy and nervous (I tense up) then when I have time to sit down and rationalize, I am fine.
I would say things out of anger then 20 minutes later realize I said something I didn't mean..and feel stupid for that.
Is something wrong with me, or is this a little nic in my personality that I can fix on my own? I am very proud of myself because I have been really working on it. Just don't think I should have to try that hard to NOT say or FEEL what I really don't feel...does that make since?
