I don't know when to shut up

Guy with genetic anger issues here, something I wasn't even conscious of until my late-teens. They're not the same thing, but it sounds like they have the same problems behind them.

First and foremost, find the things that flip the switch in your brain. Second, when you feel a conversation start to head in that direction, make a conscious effort to think about your words. Third, continue to expose yourself to the things that 'trigger' you, but do it with the mindset that you're going to control what you say, be aware of what you're saying, and acknowledge that, regardless of whether you're spurred to talk via pride or something else, sometimes you just need to shut up.

That's basically all you can do. Acknowledge the problem, acknowledge what causes the problem, take the conscious steps to fix it, don't let the problem get further out of hand.

Aggression is a genetic trait as much as it is a learned one. Often, in families with a history of anger issues, both can be involved.
