I live with this. I've tried to walk away and people respond that I am being rude. If I don't finish walking away and stay and explode, it is all my fault. Can't win. See how frustrating it is?

The medical term for some is Adrenal Cortical Hyperfunction. It is a hair trigger flight, fight, or freeze response.
