Are there things you want or actively work to change about yourself or do you simply accept who you are?
From a personality standpoint, I would love to change my temper. Try as I might, it might still often gets the best of me.

Clung to values and beliefs are operative in our perspective and conduct. If you can find logic bound agreement to a belief or value it is simple to don. Even while you don't have understanding, a practice of such will come with a realization of efficacy if it is true. So, as far as a temper goes, recognize that you want to communicate what you feel, and recognize that an aroused state of emotion doesn't get the message across as people respond to the angst and not the message. If you want to be heard, seek out the stressor and calmly express it. Upon reward of being understood with heightened understanding the donning of this value or belief will become operative in your character. Catharsis often produce regretful conduct, although it is healthy to release that pent up knotted energy you are actually unapproachable. Emotions, especially with fear are simple to deal with. It takes being present in the moment and acknowledging their presence. Seek out their root cause, analyze it and attempt to resolve it through calm expression. What needs to be done with emotion is to acknowledge it, turn towards it, embrace it, and pass through it. Once you have done this I think you will find that your expression is in a much more reasonable manner.
