I used to be more worried about what other's opinions were about me, but it didn't really make me happier or more in control of my life. I do need to act appropriately with other people and not do hurtful things, but don't need to spend my life worrying about what everyone's opinion of me is. It took setting my own limits so when I feel an anger outburst coming on to postpone it and try to find the solid ground of what I really want to communicate to others. It is not an easy fix but more like an ongoing process that has small noticeable results over time. Progress is what my goal is now.
