I have an issue with respecting the people that I love the most. I seem to take out my frustrations on them, almost unconsciously. I don’t lash out at them, but more of just an arrogant, short, demeaning tone. This also includes mood changes toward them in certain circumstances and sometimes coming off defensive. I often believe that I do these things when I find myself uncomfortable in a situation. None the less, this isn’t a good characteristic to display, especially toward the ones you love the most. I’ve tried to pay attention to detail and notice when I’m doing it but for some reason I overlook it. Could you help me with some suggestions for things that I can do to resolve this. Thank you so much.

Dear Nikki,
Sometimes we tend to act on an impulsive behavior rather than giving it a conscience thought. Even as adults we sometimes need to discipline ourselves in different aspects of our lives that we know are incorrect or in the need of improvement. There is nothing shameful in self discipline and we do it to strengthen us spiritually, physically, and/or mentally.
