I had a temper when I was younger. I adopted the topic of leaving the situation until I could calm down and have a productive conversation. I thought it was a great idea. I still do. However, nobody will give you kudos for it, even if you explain it to them. All they will know is that you left the conversation before they wanted you to. Still, the damage from that is FAR less than the damage of saying/doing things you can’t take back. Stick to your guns with that habit.
