... I think I adapted that mantra for myself a long long long time ago. Without those words.
When I'm angry I try really hard to not express it. I'll retreat from the conversation and refrain from talking about it until I've got myself sorted out. And then I'll talk about it again.
I often go 'I'm really upset right now because of X" and try to make that very clear. I'll aslo ask if we can talk about it later because I'm too upset to think straight. People who respect that always end up having me no longer that upset... and people who don't respect that end up having me blow up at them!
