How can I be a nicer, more calm person?


I'm kind of an angry, bitter, smart ass. I also am quick to lose my temper and raise my voice (although it doesn't happen THAT much, Maybe 2-3 times a month)


I yell at even people I care about sometimes when I get frustrated, Like my wife and my siblings.

Last night I came very close to beating my neighbors ass because his wife drove into my yard turning around and got stuck, Her husband works at a prison so If I had beat his ass that would be a equivalent of a hitting a off duty cop in the judges eyes and I probably would have gone to prison myself.

Then I started to think of how that could have easily escalated to even worst then a fight and a year in prison.


I always feel guilty when I raise my voice with someone so It's not that I don't feel empathy or feel bad, But people just frustrate me and I always think they should know better.

You could burn down my father in laws house in front of him and he would still be in a joking mood like he always is, I idolize that guy.

How can I be like him?
