A lot of times yes. Or insecurity. They are not sure of themselves, so they have to create a big scene or just act an azz so that they feel better about themselves, or so that they will appear a certain way in other people's eyes.  And its a shame cuz usually people can see right through them.

They like to tlak about themselves. Just give them a reason and you will have a harder time shutting them up ;-)

Communications experts will often tell you that it is not so much what you say that is communicated, but rather, how you say it; i.e. your tone of voice, your posture, the volume of your voice; your confidence level.\nWhen people internalize anger and frustration until they suddenly "break" they are more apt to come off sounding hostile and aggressive.  Rather than waiting until you become angry, deal with the matter in a calm, respectful and courteous manner when you see that something is going off the rails and you need to step in to redirect a course of action.   Make certain you slow down, breathe deeply, and think clearly.  Say only what you need to say.  I suggest two good books:\n"The One Minute Manager" and Roger Fisher's book, "Getting to Yes"   Good Luck.

me too, OMG we can definitely relate! i'm too polite and i feel like i'm interrupting other people's conversations if i just butt in. but now i'm starting to realize, but observing my friends that it's okay and that no one will hate you just because you interrupted a conversation. it's a way to make friends. and i'm also really shy. just join clubs in school, cuz that's what i do.

Yea, you have to wait it out. Some of us girls are like that. I know I am before and during. Im quick to start an arguement, and say the wrong things. After it I'm back to normal. We just get irritated quick so just brush it off for the few days if she still act the same maybe its something wrong. Hey atleast she's not pregnant. I hear its worse then.

You should not overtly draw attention to someone else. Staring, pointing and looking and whispering can be signs of someone saying something negative about them. It can make people uncomfortable or hurt their feelings.

Remaining calm while they are losing it. Especially in an argument, as they end up totally apoplectic at the fact that they haven't wound you up first. ;o)

On the contrary you are a very nice sensitive person. Fearing confrontation is not a bad thing, but be sure not to clam up when people are being nice to you.

When a contard dislikes the message, he (or she) (nt) - attacks the messenger.\n\nYou should be telling us.

I would bet that something else is bothering him, and you triggered an emotion.  It doesn't mean that there is any deep seated issue, and it doesn't mean there isn't.  In situations like that, I ignore the instance and bring it up later in a neutral and non condemning manner.  Then I see how the individual reacts once removed from the situation emotionally.

I have the same problem.  People always say "think b4 u talk", but that's fricking hard!  There are only a few seconds to which there is time alloted for you to think of an answer.  Then the person leaves you in the dust.  It's like a reflex...you defend yourself before anyone else has a chance to inflict another blow.  Next time, just relax yourself b4 a conversation and remind yourself not to lash out, no matter what.  Of course, you will forget to remind yourself after a while, but the next lash-out will bring you crashing back down to earth.  But for now...just apologize to the girl and explain that you didnt know what you were saying.  She should understand.  It is hard to deal with this stuff, but you will get over it.  Dont dwell on anything.

I can't say that it really matters, often I speak to the person who speaks to me first. If I speak first, I first smile and hallo the person on the right, then immediately the left, if he or she is not already engaged.

I wouldn't wait until they commit the "offense". That's kinda rude and bitchy. Say the guy digs in his ear with his little finger. What do you say, "Oh, God, I hate when peole do that! I'm outta here." You have to get to know someone first before critizing them for their small personality quirks.
