is this concerning? happened to me 3 times in the last 12 months.

[Altruist]

I've done the same but not as frequent obviously and only limited to a few people.  

I would attribute mine to stress. I really do wish I could take bake some things I've said to my Mom and Dad because they involved religion, body and other personal insults. We don't talk like we used to VS a few months ago. 

One thing that is consistent is that it always starts with something as simple as them offering advice or a an ever so slight attack on the things I do. Then I of course have a fragile ego and escalate things slightly, more words are exchanged and I am unable to restrain myself. 

Do you have a fragile ego? Sometimes I don't know when to just shut up, calm myself down and be the "bigger man". 

You are like nearly twice my age and a drug addict ( sorry to use that phrase  ) so I'm not even sure if my experiences can be remotely applicable to you. 


My personal exp.

yeah, my best guess is that there is a lot of stress in my work that i don't consciously recognize, so it accumulates over time without me realizing. and that's when it becomes a matter of time before i explode. 

still, "stress" from legal research isn't something that should convert to me randomly mentally fucking people up to the point where they are not sure if i'm trolling or on heroin. the profession is based on confrontation by nature, so maybe it's that
