How can I change my attitude? (details and example inside)?

Ok generally I'm not a rude person and I respect everyone fairly as long as I;m treated in the same aspects. However, I do honestly believe that I have a really bad attitude or something because most of the time when people ask me harmless questions, i get p.o.'d and usually have thoughts and actions of extreme sarcasm. Example:

The other night I was in a chicken shack, this was at about 1:30am. This particular chicken shack sells pizza amongst other things. It just so happens that I got the last slice before closing (they close at 2am). So I'm in there eating my slice and a dude comes in asking for pizza. The gu behind the counter said %26quot;I'm sorry we don't have anymore pizza for the night%26quot;. The customer was like %26quot;Aww man I really wanted some pizza%26quot; and went into this whole ordeal about how he was craving pizza and blah blah blah.



So I'm folding my pizza and take a bite, when he turns to me and says %26quot;You got the last slice of pizza?%26quot;....(duh)



My natural instinct to something like that is almost always negative, whereas my response was %26quot;NO this is a magical cheeseburger disguised as a slice of pizza%26quot;. I coulda just smiled and said %26quot;Yeah%26quot; or something simple. But It wasn't my natural reaction.



I wanna change my attitude because I dont want people to think I'm mean and stuff like that. On the other hand its like I just cant change because it feels so natural to be that way. It's like, if I deem your questions or statements stupid, then I'm gonna make you feel really stupid.



Is there hope? My mother suggested %26quot;Anger Management%26quot;....I dont know how I feel about that.How can I change my attitude? (details and example inside)?Well you are in control of what you do. Even if it's hard to control the sarcasm it is possible. I know that for me in my personal experience I have a temper and sometimes would snap at people when they are being stupid but I just kept thinking %26quot; I can control my actions.%26quot; Because it was almost like a reaction and not something I could control. But I could. I suggest that you just keep trying. Every time you answer sarcastically just think...%26quot;Next time I won't say anything until I think before speaking.%26quot; And pretty soon when occasions arrise where you want to speak sarcastically, you will be able to pause and say something less offensive.

i'm exactly like that.

except i try to hold back the sarcastic comment most of the time.

unless im in a bad mood %26amp; don't give a shitt what anyone thinks.
