For the most part, I am not easily flustered and can take a good amount before I react out of anger. This week my limits have been pushed and have wondered about others reaction time....

Also, what truly pushes your buttons into a reaction?

I'm usually very calm. I rarely lose my temper. It takes a while, but some people need to be taught the meaning of personal space and boundaries.

Sleep deprivation. Low blood sugar. Emotional exhaustion.

Boundaries have been crossed this week within extended family and I am just fuming...and have been for days...need to take a run or scream at the top of my lungs! Retail therapy might be my next route!

Blow off a little steam and feel better. This usually involves a heated discussion. Be clear about what is frustrating you. If this don't get it then think about change.

I'm fairly non-confrontational these days, however, some folks like to dance on the mine field and push my buttons when I clearly do NOT want to argue, that's when I give them what they need. A verbal tongue lashing with my big loud NY mouth, or the silent treatment, whichever I feel will be more effective.

The person i am so incensed with will not engage after she stirs the proverbial pot...just a barrage of emails.
