I'm relating very well to lola's post.

I'm not typically a very worked up type of person, rather calm, mellow, low key. So, if I have someone telling me to calm down if I am passionately discussing a topic that has me well, feeling passionate and I want to be heard, need to be heard, I'd get a bit put off. Probably close down to them completely. Hearing me out, tends to be what works wonders. That moment shall pass.

On a flip side. Went to an event around the holidays. And witnessed a family member flip their lid right before halftime that they guys were enjoying because her kids hadn't hopped in the shower yet. It was a bit of a zealous overreaction. She did cry on it later. I showed her where to tell game time...
