Do you think you sometimes overreact?



It recently crossed my mind to talk about over reacting to issues and situations. A couple of months back, I probably wouldn't have thought about this. However, in recent times it has become quite obvious that a lot of times as individuals we let our strong emotions take over, we over-think situations, we analyze wrongly and then we overreact to them. Often times it may not necessarily be our fault, this is because we live in a world full of different kinds of people.



Daily in our activities and even at our work places we come across different people with different temperaments. We agree with some people and we find ourselves disagreeing with some. We may also find ourselves having to face serious antagonistic situations, such that there is a need for us to desperately react. What do we do in such situations?
Yield to our already over charged feelings and emotions at those times or relax and have a rethink before we react?

I'm 99% certain that everyone has over reacted at some points in their lifetime. Whether we agree or not, whether we knew we did or not , we have at some points over reacted.

After reading this article today, we must decide in our hearts that as much as we are not perfect, we will try to calm down in confrontational situations or when our anger is at its peak. Everyone can save themselves the stress of regretting what they didn't mean but said earlier out of annoyance.
