Well, I try to be respectful of others and considerate of their feelings. I'm not saying I'm always successful, but I do try.
This. I also try. Still, it happens from time to time that I'm passionate, mostly before my family and my closest friend. Occasionally, they enjoy the situation, seemingly I lose my temper quite nicely... Well, it can be bad too.
I can be opinionated, but usually I try to avoid being vocal about it, because I've noticed people tend to disagree with me mostly, and I wouldn't like to be more off in their eyes from where I already am.
I rarely lose my temper, and when I do it's more of a meltdown situation than just a discussion gone awry. It's more like I think what I think and am blunt about it. I say what I think, and apparently even when I am trying very hard to be polite, I am told I come off as harsh and rude. I am very quiet and reserved in most situations. You'd probably not even ever hear me speak at all in large groups. It's rare that I do.
For example, I am very passionate about human and animal rights. If I see a child, animal. or vulnerable person being harmed I am very vocal about it, even if it gets me into trouble, or fired. I see it as my ethical duty to do something, and not worry about myself first. I feel if more people were like that the world would be a kinder place.
