Well, I know I've blown my top, and no doubt about it. I offer up what calmed me down: real people, real socializing. Tough to get in this day and age, I know, but I scoured for pen pals of like mind (yes, pen and paper) and found enough old friends who still knew how to have telephone conversations... after the wreckage of certain social networks eating up the minds of so many great people I used to know. The face-to-face gatherings were a bit more difficult but I managed that finally too.

Life comes into much better perspective when you are listening to real voices in real time, or having tactile correspondence on a regular basis. Of course, one of the reasons my temper kept exploding was not being able to find enough of that when I'd once had plenty prior to the wild gadget craze happening in the last decade, but I'm here to say I finally found it again and it helps alot.
