24 M here. I’ve noticed something about myself that I really want to work on. Whenever someone confronts me or tries to start a fight in the street, or disrespects someone i love ( family or gf for example )I feel like I go into a blind rage. It’s almost like I lose control over my body and my senses. Instead of staying calm and thinking clearly about the best way to handle the situation, my mind just floods with anger. The frustrating part is that this actually makes me less effective and i end up embarassing myself, it feels like I’m so angry and scared and anxious at the same time. I can’t think strategically, de-escalate, or make good decisions because I’m so overwhelmed by adrenaline and rage. Has anyone else dealt with this? If so, how did you learn to stay composed during confrontations? Are there any mental techniques, books, or training methods that helped you stay focused instead of getting consumed by anger? I’m not looking to become more aggressive—I actually want the opposite. I want to be able to keep a clear head, stay in control of myself, and make the smartest decision possible in those situations. submitted by /u/Padmespaceboobies
