I m very reactive...
I react very quickly and sometimes I just don't want to listen to anyone and do my own thing ... It's mostly about things I m extremely passionate about.. for e.g if I feel someone has treated me with unfairness I ll argue , go and confront, with full emotions.
The problem comes when I m going to do something like that and if my loved ones try to put sense into my head I react towards them n just don't listen.
@secretGrapes2174 Hey there. First, I would like to commend you for being brave enough to admit that you are, in fact, a reactive person. Admitting something that is not necessarily looked at as positive can be difficult to do, but you did it... and I am proud of you. I felt the need to respond to your thread because it is something I can relate to-- especially in my younger days. There's a saying that says "You can't control other's actions, but you can control how you react to them." Now that may not be the exact quote verbatim but it is something along those lines.
With that said, I would like to kindly remind you of just a few things you can control. :)
You can control your actions!
You can control your attitude!
You can control your perspective!
You can control your words!
These are just some of the things I would like you to keep in mind the next time you get short tempered. Someone once told me, that when I react like that to others... it was simply giving others control of me. And I find that to be truth. Life is so short. Please don't waste so much of your emotional energy on things and people you cannot control. Please don't let people get a reaction from you. Stop, breathe, and think. You are the one in control of you here. Remember that. I do hope that you are able to find some self control so you don't react so quickly next time. I am rooting for you and hoping for the best! <3
@secretGrapes2174 The very fact that you recognise this and care about the impact it has in your family and loved ones, shows that you are already in the first step to changing it 😊
