It only takes a little phrase to send me into a profanity ridden explosion! I try so hard but cursing is some kind of relief. It makes expression easier for me but it takes so little. I have a seriously hard time even saying hello to strangers but by god is it easy for me to be mean and vulgar. God forbid you stare at me, you will end up getting cursed out for something you probably didn't realize you did :/

That must be difficult to not be able to control your anger like that. :/ I often say things without thinking, sometimes vulgar things but they don't have a trigger like anger...I just burst forth with stuff :P
Do you have any mindfulness exercises you can use when you feel like this?

I have been closing my eyes and counting when I need to since being a teen. For the most part I can control it but I'm very impulsive. I can say the most hurtful things and not really understand how bad it was till after the fact. I just have to stay away from negativity and stressful situations.

Lol it sound dumb but my councilor told me to breath deep and kinda growl when you breath out whenever you start to feel stressed or angry. I love the close eyes and counting thing. But it really seems to help more than you'd think.

I'm like this when I get manic. Otherwise, I've sort of learned to control it.

Does it feel like a burning, hot, almost dull pain in the solar plexus or chest when it arises? That's how it is for me.

I think our base personalities have a lot to do with it. I'm very introverted (I think this is just me. I've always been this way and it doesn't change much at all).

Extroverts tend to think out loud, so, in some cases, you're doing what perhaps extroverts may do (or ambiverts. I'm really heavy on the introvert spectrum).

This may sound like "Oh I WISH i were quiet". No, it's actually better for others but not the self, I've found. It'll probably make you more easy to treat, in fact, because all your symptoms will be visible.

Hmm, have you tried medication? Klonopin helps for me but I've read it can also lower our inhibitions.
