I notice that I react too quickly, and my tone gets sharp before I even think. Later I regret it. I really want to find a calmer way to respond so our conversations don’t spiral into fights.

Honestly, I’m still learning. What helps me is taking a breath before I say anything. I literally remind myself, “Don’t match their tone — lower it instead.” When I manage to respond gently or even just pause, the fight often fizzles out. It’s not perfect, but I’ve noticed I feel calmer afterward instead of guilty.
