I am normally very calm. It does, however, have a down side. If I have let a few prickles get past me without undue tension ,suddenly, there will be a last straw and I will explode. This completely bewilders my better half as he never sees it coming. So I think that I should let a bit of steam off earlier and not wait till the exploding point. It would make life more predictable for hubby and save on blood pressure pills for both of us.

Only my hubby and co-workers can tell you.
My opinion...I see myself as being calm and patient., go with the flow...don't like to argue... Will let others have their way so they're happy. Isn't life about making people happy?
But I'm aware that others might think otherwise.
Hey, we're all allowed our opinions, right?
I can get temperamental when that time of the month comes around though. he he he

Definitely temperamental. I do appear to sail thru some things but it's a great cover I've developed.

I will admit that I do have a temper to a degree. I try hard to stay calm, sometimes it does work and sometimes it don't. I try to keep everything to myself rather than talk it out. Because there is really not that many people that wants to hear someone elses problems, well I mean friend wise. Guess that is why I always stay to myself for the most part.

I guess I'm more temperamental now that I'm retired,My disabilities keep me from doing what I used to do,I can still do more than people think but they seem to think I can't. Makes me feel useless. I find myself telling people off and trying to tell them that I still still know as much as I ever did, and that my condition is fiscally not mental I guess that is where my temper seems to set in and I start feeling sorry for myself

Sail smoothly through some and it's a rocky ride through others. Just depends on what it is. When it's a little too rough, I've learned it's ok to spout off if necessary....and/or go to others for advice and support.

Depends on the storms... I have learned not to take on battles that I know I can't win. I have learned and still learning to not sweat the small stuff and it mostly is small stuff. I have learned to and still practicing listening and thinking before I speak as I see that many people think they are having a conversation and really they aren't because instead of listening, they are thinking of what they are going to say in response. I tend to handle traumatic situations well and then fall apart after them. Everyday stuff is harder to deal with...depending on the Storm.

I'm temperamental, but find that most people and or relatives have no empathy, so don't want to hear it or listen to it. So I tend to keep it to myself. Not good I know, But sometimes I do have to let off steam or it gets to be too much. I am by myself, so who else is going to listen to me.

I almost always sail though all the storms.I have learned that being tempermental rarely changes anything, and you can usually look at the lines on a person's face as they get older and tell which one they are.

I am pretty calm most of the time. It takes a lot to get me angry, and it isn't often that I let everything get to me. Age has taught me to go with the flow and as long as I'm not compromising my beliefs, I can be pretty flexible.
