hi jeffreychan! its so hard when you are short tempered person, everybody who surrounds you will be hurt when you cant control your emotions. what i am doing when im about to lose my temper is inhaling and telling myself if i will be get mad or lose my temper what would be the consequence of bursting out my feelings out of control. i also go to my room, and diverting my emotions to something positively. i also recommend you to go to a comfort room, its a quiet place where you can medidate and evaluate your feelings, emotion and character. think first before you burst your emotion.

When I get angry I will keep myself quiet because I know I could easily get out of hand if I voice out my anger. So try to control more...

First, you have to assume responsibility by accepting responsibility for your action instead of blaming others. Second, anticipate the problem. Third, plan a better response. Fourth, consider the consiquences. Fifth, get help. Sixth, monitor your progress.
