In my childhood, days I was very possessive of my playing kits. I remember, I was only 10 when my elder brother took away my table tennis racquet without my knowledge. I got furious on learning and took out my bicycle ran after him to get back my racquet. I was riding it very furiously in ager and ultimately I ended up with a major accident. I hurt myself of noreason. This is one of the many instances in my life when my bad temper resulted in adverse consequences. It happened to me in multiple times that spread out at different stages of life. From my innocent childhood days to aggressive teenage time. My bad temper caused due to various reasons which led me negative set back. It was very late in my life when I realised how bad it is for living a happy life.

A bad temper is not good for our life. A bad or short temper causes regrettable actions and clouds judgment. It severely damages our relationships, isolates us from peers, and triggers chronic stress that physically harms our body. Over time, frequent outbursts spike our blood pressure, weaken our immunity, and increase our risk of heart problems. Having a bad temper creates several significant problems in my life. A bad temper may result in losing our life too. Frequent anger spikes blood pressure, increases heart rate, and causes vascular dysfunction, significantly elevating the risk of heart attacks and strokes. Unchecked anger consumes mental energy and is frequently linked to lingering anxiety, depression, and chronic stress. Over time, the inability to control frustration can lead to strained bonds and a loss of meaningful personal connections. Lashing out at supervisors, clients, or colleagues erodes professional respect and can hold you back from opportunities.
It is quite evident that frequent anger in life may hamper our personal, social and professional life. In all possible scenarios it may cause us adverse consequences. It is destructive and harmful for everyone. Controlling a bad temper protects our physical health, preserves our personal and professional relationships, and prevents regrettable impulsive decisions. However still many people consider it as an excuse for their faults. A bad temper is an incredibly popular—and destructive—excuse used to justify toxic, hurtful, or abusive behavior. By claiming a "short fuse," individuals attempt to deflect accountability and shift blame onto their emotions, making others feel responsible for their outbursts. Many believe anger is something that must be expelled physically or verbally to avoid bottling it up. In reality, uncontrolled lashing out just reinforces the habit. It is always sensible to handle such personality.
Short temper; fast reaction to foolishness
If you are frequently dealing with someone who uses their temper to excuse bad behavior, protecting your own peace requires firm boundaries. Do not argue, yell back, or try to reason with someone when they are deeply dysregulated. Better let them vent out all.tge aggression and stay quite then reacting unnecessarily.
In good faith - Peace!!
