I do believe that this site was formed in order to share what is bothersome and from the responses, work on changing those things. It worked for me! Whether I got blasted or received gentle, constructive criticism, I'd cool off and then think about what was said to me. If I found an ounce of truth in the criticism, I set about changing those things.

STOP
THINK
ACT as opposed to "react"... as in knee jerk reaction.
