I have to really be pushed to lose my temper and very rarely do I have to raise my voice.

I consider it weakness in a person if you have to scream and shout at someone to either get them to listen to you or respect you

I don't. I'm pretty introverted though, so I figure extroverts, who are boisterous anyway, would be more prone to raising their voices when angry or otherwise agitated.

Rarely I've come across quiet, introverted people who have nasty temper tantrums that result in yelling, throwing punches, breaking things... anyone that unpredictable is a bit unnerving.

I lived with a man who not only yelled when frustrated, he threw temper tantrums...ripping a textbook through its binding and throwing it, putting his fist through a glass fronted cabinet, punching walls, once, he snapped the turn signal indicator lever off my new car, because he didn't want to ask directions and GPS was wrong...I came to find him out of control and infantile. Express your emotions like an adult, not like a child who is developmentally inequipped to hold back inappropriately impulsive behavior.

Beyond childish! I've yelled and screamed, but this is definitely out of control! I'm learning to keep my temper in check, as I've had high blood pressure and I darn sure don't need a stroke or heart attack!

No. Trust me, my instinct is to yell, but I am a grown up, so I suppress it.

Yelling is immature and shows a lack of control. It's childish and stupid and indulgent and disrespectful.

People who yell are immediately ignored/written off by me.

I've only lost my temper to the point of yelling twice in my adult life. And the recipients of said tirades still remember the events in amazing detail and occasionally bring it up -- with a glazed sort of fascination on ther face, accompanied by a slight twitch :-) Possibly because I'm normally very soft-spoken -- it did get their attention, I must say.

Otherwise, I tend to go for cold and icily polite, with a dash of virulent sarcasm thrown in.

You're right up my alley.
