Bad things happen. Things get broken.

I lose my temper all the time.
Nothing serious (usually) happens.

I'm still scared from the last time I exploded. I did not want to know I was capable of that.

I have few explosions and sometimes they happen when no one is around. I've broken things, like dishes, but I don't throw things at people.

Mostly I get a steely resolve that I'm right to be angry and I dig in my heels - not discussing, negotiating or forgiving until I'm ready, dammit! A silent explosion that says "you've blown it."

Yeah, when I get angry i tend to throw things and punch inanimate objects I've broken a window before. I also yell alot, people who've seen me truly angry have been scared. I would never hurt anyone out of anger no matter how upset they made me unless they threw a punch. But only a handful of people have seen me truly pissed off. I also tend to cry.

I have totally lost my temper only twice in my life.

The first time I threw a rocking chair against a wall.
The second time the target of my fiery wrath ran away and yelled "She went crazy!"

My explosions are extremely rare, but when they occur they are very much worse than, for example, those of my ESFJ mother. (She explodes all the time.)

When I'm angry, I usually just swallow my anger. I tend to retreat and be alone. I become quiet and bitter.

But I'm not resentful or vindictive. I can forgive quite easily.

For me, moderate upsets express themselves as mild verbal diarrhea, nothing too extreme.

Major upsets, however, tend to result in implosion followed by barely controlled, moderately focused explosion at the one who's wronged me. Perhaps it's learned, but I tend to numb myself by default when the transgression occurs, take a day to figure out why the hell I'm so pissed off, and then shove a stick up their ass the next day.

I don't know if this is normal for an ENFP at all, but I have a matchstick temper. I start extremely quickly but I die down really quickly. It can happen anywhere, and be instigated by anyone. I will be fine and all of a sudden I seriously, just can't control myself anylonger.

It's crazy, It's like my real self gets pushed out of the way and I sit back and watch the freak show unfold not knowing how to stop it. Luckily for me this never lasts more than 15 minutes.

In the last month I can say that I lost my temper really bad in public at least 7 times on complete strangers.

Anger managemant anyone?
