I don't consider myself hot blooded...Hi Amanda<br /><br />I don't consider myself hot blooded - I work hard to keep my temper under control - and I usually do work hard to control what comes out of my mouth. Doesn't mean I don't lose it from time to time (when I do, watch out!) but under normal circumstances I am not easily provoked.<br /><br />I linked up to Friendship Friday (what's your favorite blog post that you've ever written and why?) but I also wrote a Klout article that has some great discussion questions at the end of it - would love your thoughts on those, too, if you're game!<br /><br />Have a fabulous weekend and thanks for hosting!<br /><br />Ramona<br />http://create-with-joy.com <br /><br />P.S. I am now on Google Plus - would love for you to join me there (will reciprocate the follow but I'm set up as a page so need you to initiate - thanks!)Create With Joyhttp://create-with-joy.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5810566902374575347.post-26650418667383067012012-03-02T13:35:59.599-08:002012-03-02T13:35:59.599-08:00Very interesting concept dahlin

(not really) But it's something I have to battle all the time. bah. so tiring. <br /><br />2. Yes and yes and OMG YES. But I tell you if I spill all that is rising to come out, I'll not only hurt the people getting it, but myself also and I'll hurt to death about hurting someone...so I force it inside or go away . <br /><br />3. Yes it does stand in the way of things I want to achieve especially trying to get my husband to see something that I want change in the relationship and not just because I want it, but because as a whole it would make our family much happier and healthier. <br /><br />4. I'm the hot blooded individual...my sister is another. Maybe why we don't speak much and feel comfortable with it at times. :) <br /><br />Off to visit the others. I'm running late all over.Colette Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04844522784600855200noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5810566902374575347.post-31094367288004795972012-03-02T13:02:15.227-08:002012-03-02T13:02:15.227-08:00I used to be hot blooded, and witty in my come bac...I used to be hot blooded, and witty in my come back with answer, when I was much younger!

I guess that's the human side showing through. lol When I do get a heated for the most part I'm pretty reserved. It really depends on the person I guess and who gets the feel my wrath.

But I have faith in you and am betting on your making it work.<br />Now:<br /><br /><b>1) Do you think being hot blooded stands in the way of achievements or accomplishments?</b> <i> Yes, I do. At work unless one is really in good with boss it hinders his/her raises and promotion chances. And acceptance of ideas if the boss would have some changes to it in mind.<br />With friends there will be reluctant to bring up anything controversal for fear of 'setting this person off.'</i><br /><br /><b>2) What kind of effect does the hot blooded individual have on you?</b> <i>I generally wade in and try to make peace by acting as if I didn't get the hint of any blowing off. It works a lot of times. Besides in Texas if you strike a senior citizen (me) it is a felony offense punishable by prison.</i><br />..<br />BTW<br />I am a laid back person and cannot remember the last time I sounded off in a rage.<br />..Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02982249173214655060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5810566902374575347.post-31850846543937618132012-02-29T19:51:21.647-08:002012-02-29T19:51:21.647-08:00i was often described as "calm", i have ...i was often described as "calm", i have a boss then back home who was very hot blooded, she tends to yell when she is under pressure and everyone was afraid of her, but they say, i was the only one who has the guts to cut her off because i would kindly give her a tap on the shoulder and ask softly, "i can't listen to someone who yells because i get afraid, can you please speak softly so i won't be afraid to listen?"<br /><br />i try to watch coming out of my mouth, though i am very upfront with my feelings. but then of course, i am human too, work in progress, so there are times i may not handle situation well enough.betchaihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04754061874315713589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5810566902374575347.post-24099609736655038672012-02-29T16:49:04.601-08:002012-02-29T16:49:04.601-08:00I have never been hot headed, but have known lots ...I have never been hot headed, but have known lots of folks who were and have to agree with you completely in that chemistry has lots to do with it. Some people can naturally push other people's buttons. <br /><br />I used to blurt things out without thinking first. I think some unfortunate consequences and embarrassing moments have made me stop and think first. :-) It is terribly hard to take back harsh words. You are right, most things do not have to be said hastily. Let's take a moment to think.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02383088026534281295noreply@blogger.com
