• I'd like some insight....

  I have a very short fuse when it comes to my temper.  I get angry easily and if the person that angers me continues to draw on the conversation, my anger only builds.  If I am able to get them to stop talking, or to remove myself from the situation in order to 'think pleasant thoughts' lol then I'm able to calm down and forget that I've gotten angry. My mom seems to think that I am just closed-minded and if I were to listen to the person  thats making me angry that I'd be 'pleasantly surprised'.  The only way that I can get my anger to go away is to think of something else and try to ignore that person, listening to it only makes me explode.  Yet, she insists that if I were to just try her theory I'd realize she were right.  If I were to try this theory, it wouldn't be me being surprised, it would be whoever I pop in the mouth.  I'm not the type that likes resulting to violence, but I just don't really think about it when I get that angry.  Now the 2nd thing that kinda irritates me, she, my mom, also claims to know that I don't think I can change. (She's wrong)  She thinks she has the right to tell me how I think, like she's up in my mind buddy buddy with my conscience or something.  Now what I'm asking you readers, if I have somewhat of an idea of how to deal with my own feelings and I know that that her idea isn't going to work from past experiences, should I try that anyways?  Also, am I right that she has no right to tell me what I do and do not think?
