When you want to learn to deal with a short tempered person you must start by not fighting back in rage yourself. Short temper has one enemy, a person who argues with it. Never make the mistake of arguing with a person who is angry because this will worsen their temper.

Eventually we would put an effort to try and see the situation through his eyes and find ways of solving the root cause of conflict. But never argue or try to raise your voice at a short tempered person because such a person will go further and even harm you physically. I would compare it to reading an ebook readers instruction manual as the best way to understand the Internet – it isn’t easy, but it is possible.

This might appear unusual but whenever you deal with a sort tempered person you can try to be silent. Silent treatment is a bit unfair but sometimes it solves the problem of anger and temper. It is the safest way because you are guaranteed that you won’t say the wrong thing that will further fuel the person’s temper. With time a short tempered person will learn not to raise their voice because they would have learnt that it bears no fruit like owning home office storage space without a lock on the door.

Sometimes short tempered people are actually justified for their reaction. So when this happens and you realise that you are wrong you must try to admit guilt and show that you have learnt from your mistake. Showing signs of change will indicate to the aggressor that you are reformed and ready to do things properly.

By telling a person that you admit guilt but you’re unhappy about their temper is the best way to ensure that such a person really tries to transform their attitude. It doesn’t help to find a short term solution when the problem persists. Telling the person that you don’t like their temper is a good way to make sure that they learn to control their temper.

Show a short tempered person how important you are to their life and they will change. When a person has continuous fits of temper it is primarily because they don’t think you can do anything drastic to stop them. But if you tell them to change, or else, then they will do exactly that. I ran away from home when my fathers temper was out of control like distorted alpine skiing equipment.
